COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO | Sherman Tower | FT | 15 FLOORS
New proposal for a second hotel tower at the Coeur d'Alene Resort in north Idaho. The current tower is the one on the left; the proposed one is on the right:
From the Idaho Statesman:
Quote:
Duane Hagadone isn’t done yet building his hospitality empire on Lake Coeur d’Alene’s north shore.
The wealthy businessman, now 82, is moving forward on a longtime plan to add a second hotel tower at the Coeur d’Alene Resort.
A preliminary design shared with the city shows a narrow tower rising 19 stories above Front Avenue and over a portion of Hagadone Hospitality Co.’s Resort Plaza Shops, reaching the downtown building height limit. The tower would straddle Front between the plaza and the resort’s parking structure, keeping street-level space open.
Mayor Steve Widmyer said the expansion would attract more convention business to Coeur d’Alene and could generate millions of dollars for the economy.
“I think when you look at what Spokane has done with the new 700 rooms that they’re adding in downtown, when you look at what Boise is doing with their expansion of the convention center – the convention business is getting very competitive,” Widmyer said. “If we want to keep up and compete with Spokane and Boise for those conventions, an additional investment in our community for those conventions is a great thing.”
