Hotel developer
hopes to show staying power.
Developers of the proposed $65 million Peacock Hotel & Spa at the corner of
McBee Avenue and Spring Street have suspended construction as a consequence
of the sour economy.
However, a few blocks down Main Street, Windsor/Aughtry
Co. is proceeding with constructions of a six-story, $40 million development
that will include a new
Courtyard by Marriott hotel.
Paul C. 'Bo' Aughtry III, a principal in Windsor/Aughtry, said he is
hoping the current economic slump will have subside by the time his
company's Main @ Broad development opens in the fall of 2009. |

"I think our timing on this, fortuitously, not by any scientific planning,
will be opportune," Aughtry said during a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday.
The development
under construction next to City Hall, in addition to the 135-room hotel,
will include Nantucket Seafood Grill, an upscale seafood restaurant.
Plans also call for five stories of office space, a 250-space parking garage and a public green space next to City Hall. |
