Buckeye Federal developer sets year-end for Residence Inn debut
by Brian R. Ball
Renovation of the former Buckeye Federal Savings & Loan building into a 126-suite Residence Inn by Marriott has entered the final stages, ahead of a planned opening by the end of the year.
“We should be on target for a late December opening,” said Rob Kennedy, the hotel’s general manager. “The finer pieces are coming together.”
The developer has 7,800 square feet of commercial space available on the building’s ground floor in the bank’s original lobby – a space with 40-foot-high ceilings – and some mezzanine space in the back.
“We’re looking to put in, I hope, an upscale restaurant,” said real estate agent Carol Wass of the Continental Realty Ltd. brokerage.
