Apparently the plans include a 12-storey building on the parking lot adjacent to the hotel that will include some affordable housing.

From what I've heard the owner of the McLaren wants his property to be a decent residence (not a "slum landlord" type, if there's a type) and this new building would include some element of affordable housing as well.
I don't buy any of this. The "plan" sounds ridiculous. If the McLaren "hotel" remains a "Hotel" (slum).. then I'm afraid any development is pointless. Condos, apartments, offices, an ACTUAL hotel... now THAT would be news. This is just depressing.
