The King Edward Hotel is the redevelopment of a historic hotel that has been vacant for more than 40 years. The building has evolved into a 265, 000 SF mixed-use urban center that features a 186-room hotel with a restaurant and high-tech business center, a 64-unit apartment complex, and premium retail space. The building’s historic integrity and heritage was preserved and the project generates significant economic activity in an area with high poverty. The hotel, which opened in 2009, incorporates sustainability within its design, construction, and operations. Design features include: energy efficient HVAC systems and an important waste diversion program as well as green housekeeping and maintenance practices.
