Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel - Blackstone Hotel (SWC 36 & Farnam)

[obvious2677]

My councilman whose district also includes the Blackstone District, Chris Jerram, in response to my email questioning the proposed tax replied: "It’s complicated and arises out of the effort to restore the Blackstone Hotel to full service iconic historical place that attracts
50,000-100,000 visitors per year to Blackstone District. As well, all boats are raised with high tide. What I mean is this project will benefit surrounding businesses and properties.

Many of the properties within the designated area are owned by the same investment group. Many of the new businesses who are tenants in those new and restores properties are owned by the same group. This project is enormously important to the district and to preserving this landmark.

New Market tax credits are not available for this project as they are for many other inner city large Scale projects.
This is a project of approximately $80 million. So, in my view is also of the monetary magnitude to qualify."

Brinker Harding responded to me and said a similar thing. The tax is only on properties that are owned by Clarity and Greenslate or business owners who opt in to it. Unfortunately/fortunately, that is a vast majority of the buildings in this area. So - basically - the two developers are going to charge their tenants more to rent (or, as a business owner, you are willingly giving money to Greenslate/Clarity to fund it), but they're calling it a "tax." So, if you do not agree to paying additional taxes that go to restore this building, simply don't frequent places that rent from Greenslate or Clarity.

50,000 people would assume 67% occupancy and 1 person per room. (204 rooms * 365 days = 74,460 rooms/annually / 50,000 = 67%) I think the national average is somewhere around 70% occupancy rate.

Even though I understand it more, I'm still not a huge proponent of masking it as a tax. Move up your rents, have the businesses then increase the prices. Don't mask what you're doing through a tax. I'd still rather eat at Block 16 over every restaurant in Blackstone.

I agree with not calling it a tax & having the businesses increase the cost because the anti-tax people will be out in force again if there is a reason to raise taxes for something that is really, really needed.

As one of those "anti-tax" people, I think most of the issue is that a portion of our taxes are wasted on stupid things or are not spent wisely (i.e. underbuilding a youth justice center, assuming that a new building and some coaching will cut crime).

[nativeomahan]

My initial reaction was to oppose this tax/fee/assessment proposal. One of the TV stations went to the area and interviewed business owners and customers. Not one of them opposed the tax. Everyone spoke as to how, if it helped develop the area, they were all for it. That surprised me, and it wasn’t a scientific poll, but I guess my position has softened on it. The tax wouldn’t really effect my patronage of any of the businesses, just like the existing restaurant tax is a non-issue for me. (By the way, a number of other Nebraska municipalities have similar restaurant taxes)
My question is this: are similar neighborhood taxes common in other cities? If they are, then I guess this is a popular way to go. If they aren’t, then maybe it isn’t a good idea.

[obvious2677]

Thoughts on the special tax district for the Blackstone area to partially fund the renovation of the Blackstone Hotel? It has been compared to the use of that funding for the Capitol District but was that tax to support the whole district as opposed to just one building?

I like the idea of remodeling and refurbishing the hotel. I don't like the idea of paying a special tax because a developer made a bad deal. Compared to capitol....
Retail purchases/food/drink: Capitol: 0.5% | Blackstone: 1.95%
Office Space: Capitol: $0.25/sq ft | Blackstone: $0.25/sq ft
Apartments: Capitol: $95/annually | Blackstone: $120/annually
Hotel: Capitol: ? | Blackstone: 3%

Missed that the office space and apartment taxes are only those rates for one year. They both raise by 3% annually.
Office Space: Capitol District: $0.25/sq ft... Blackstone: $0.25/sq ft in 2019, $0.38/sq ft in 15 years, $0.59/sq ft in 30.
Apartments: Capitol: $95/annually | Blackstone: $120/annually in 2019, $181.51 in 15 years, $282.79 in 30.

So in 15 years, when there is some new hotness in town and all the apartment fans want to be there or have these hot new features, the Blackstone apartments will be $181 more expensive than all their competitors, including new hotness. And in 30 years when the apartments are all going to have to drop some serious money in to rehabiiitation, they are going to be $283 more (plus the cost of rehab)? Yeah, this seems to me to be kicking the can down the road and bending it like Beckham into the sewer drain.

Yeah. And, before anyone says that "3% is the inflation rate" - inflation is expected to be 2% for 2019 and 2020. For the last 15 years, inflation averaged 2.1% and for the last 30 years, it's been 2.5%. So, Clarity and Greenslate are making more money by placing additional burdens on those that are likely also facing stagnant wages. Just my opinion.

As a homeowner in Omaha, apartment renting in the "hip" areas is getting a bit ridiculous. With these fees in 2019...
The Conrad: Studio - $885/mo, 1BR - $1,215/mo, 2BR - $1,485/mo.
Blackstone Depot: Studio - $1,020/mo, 1BR - $1,090/mo.
Blackstone Station: Studio - $915/mo, 1BR - $1,070/mo, 2BR - $1,515/mo.
(Of course there are other options in this area, I'm just picking out the 'major' developments.)

Add in that many of the people living in the area are med students or employees of UNMC who are not exactly rolling in cash, this could be a significant incentive to live in Dundee or Cathedral area and skip Blackstone.

[iamjacobm]

I don't necessarily agree that "hip" areas are any more or less pricey as a whole than non "hip" areas. They are more $$ PSF, but as a total expense pretty much in line with most new builds in the rest of the city.

Heck a quick glance at a complex near where I grew up on 156th and Pacific is going from $1100 for a 1BR up to $1750 for a 2BR. And that was built 17 years ago in 2001.

You can selectively pick the more expensive ones and say that's the trend, sure. I'm quoting the cheapest 1BR design (as I did for Blackstone's buildings) for new-ish construction out in the [relative] area you grew up in - Elkhorn Ridge is $725. Elk Hills is $790. Village on the Preserve is $785. Lynbrook is $825. Whispering Ridge is $840. Broadmoor Hills is $855. Grand Legacy is $880. 1010 on the lake is $895. Antler View is $935.

Absolutely agree. My brother lives in River North. Buuut.... this isn't Chicago. (Praise the lawd!)

There are also apartments at Spaces for $715, Nico for $675, Flats on Howard for as little as $555, The Austin for $750, The Atlas for $730, my place I recently moved into in the flatiron building is cheaper than Whispering Ridge, Broadmoor Hills, Grand Legacy, 1010 on the Lake and Antler View's cheapest.

Again I get less space, but I would be paying pretty much similar prices at similarly newer product elsewhere in town.

[iamjacobm]

I don't disagree that there is some pricey product, but I think its pretty exaggerated when comments are made about new development on the east side of town being prohibitively expensive when new product everywhere is going in relatively the same range.

No one bats an eye when 300 units from $900 to $1500 open on 10 acres in the suburbs, but 150 units from $950 to $1600 open in Blackstone and we have an affordability issue. Just rings hollow to me.

Upzoning is a much better way to combat affordability issues in the Tier 1 and 2 cities IMO and I think a carrot(or stick if they need it) for those cities to upzone would go a lot further toward housing affordability than expensive inefficient(financing wise) LIHTC or city mandated affordability levels. That is an entirely different discussion that doesn't apply much to Omaha though.

The issue with me and the Blackstone developments is that you won't be able to find a 1BR for under $1,000 a month in these 'new' spots after these additional payments are kicked on. I misspoke when I said, "hip" because that does include other parts of town that are more affordable - you're right. We've all just summarized the same point: that new development should not be costing $1,000+ a month for a 1BR apartment that is the same thing you can find in other parts of the city for a more reasonable price. I don't think there's an overall affordability issue - I think Clarity and Greenslate are gouging people to pad their own pocketbooks. Guess that's why I'm not renting there... or anywhere.

Life in Blackstone will be more costly as City Council approves new taxes, including on food, drink

The Omaha City Council on Tuesday approved a portion of Blackstone as an “enhanced employment area,” meaning businesses within the area will charge a number of new taxes, including a new additional tax on food and drinks.

The money — up to $22.6 million — will go into financing the restoration of the historic Blackstone Hotel.

The council voted 6-1 for the new designation and for the hotel’s developers to collect the extra taxes, with Councilwoman Aimee Melton voting no. It goes into effect Jan. 1.

[Coyote]

"Conversion of the existing Blackstone building back to its original use as a hotel including guest rooms, lobby, restaurants, meeting space, kitchens and the addition of a 3 story annex building with approximately 45 new guest rooms, meeting space and ancillary BOH spaces plus the addition of an outdoor pool and pool bar. Scope of work will include a complete demo of the existing finishes and reconstruction per the submitted plans."

[Louie]

This is already a big hole in the ground. Probably see some foundation work soon.

[iamjacobm]

This is going to be a Kimpton which is a phenomenal brand IMO.

[ita]

This is going to be a Kimpton which is a phenomenal brand IMO.

I have never heard of that brand. I wonder if it will have the Monaco designation as it would seem to fit that collection of hotels, ie. historical buildings.

[ricko]

Great brand. This is a very good "get". Their website has a nice article about Omaha. They're going to revive the Orleans Room at the Blackstone, once Omaha's best restaurant. The city continues to amaze.

[Omaha Cowboy]

From today’s W-H-

“The team reviving Omaha’s Blackstone Hotel is working to bring back historic and charming elements, down to the tree rising out of the reincarnated Cottonwood Room bar.

“We are making every effort to recreate as accurately as possible the look and feel, the grandeur of its heyday,” said Tom McLeay of Clarity Development.

The team this week also announced that the hotel, set to open in spring of 2020, will carry the flag of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. McLeay said the property still will be locally-owned by the two Omaha development firms and investors that led the revival of the larger Blackstone commercial district in midtown Omaha.

Attaching to the Kimpton brand, which is in the family of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), gives the hotel access to a rewards program as well as expertise, McLeay said.

Mike DeFrino, Kimpton chief executive officer, said the Blackstone is the first in the state to carry the brand.“..

Very exciting projects up on the hill.

[Bob from Omaha]

I remember my cousin's wedding reception in one of the top floor ballrooms. The view was amazing. Also, the food in the cotton room was really good. I remember eating in the Chrystal Tree one time. It really was elegant. I hope the people doing the renovation bring back what the hotel featured. It was a classy place. If you check out Klimpton's other properties it's quite a list.

Here's one of many stories about the Blackstone:

Here are some pictures. Check out the actual Chrystal Tree.

[nativeomahan]

We have stayed before at Kimpton properties in Chicago. Each one is unique, but all are stylish and pet friendly. It is a marquis brand right now, and a perfect match to the Blackstone building.

[Ersatz]

I was hoping for a Mandarin Oriental, St. Regis or Amanresorts hotel myself, not another mid market hotelier.

[nativeomahan]

Steel superstructure is now in place on the west side of the old hotel building.

[mecich]

Anyone else notice that the addition is different than what was submitted to the city in the original site development plans? In those plans, the building was sited perpendicular to the original structure. The addition is now parallel to Harney St., sitting at an angle from the original structure. This new placement has the benefit of not blocking any windows on the original structure.

I also noticed that the design of the addition itself looks much different than what was submitted with the original site plan. The height appears to be the same, but the roofline is dramatically different. The initial roofline mimiced the lines and slope of the tiled roof on the existing structure. What's being built has a very steep slope, akin to an 80s-style mansard roof.

I thought the original placement and design of the addition well complimented the original structure. Does anyone have an up-to-date rendering of the addition?

So nice to get rid of another parking lot. Even at just 3 stories it really helps dense up that part of Blackstone neighborhood.

The Blackstone Hotel, to be reborn as the Cottonwood, is part of a new hotel wave


The top floor ballroom:

GreenSlate and Clarity developers told The World-Herald they learned during the ongoing $75 million rehab process that a Chicago hotel has a legal claim to the Blackstone Hotel trademark. That forced them to regroup.

Now, come spring 2020, the revamped century-old midtown property at 36th and Farnam Streets will open as the Cottonwood — a name reminiscent of the hotel’s original Cottonwood Room lounge known for star power attraction and the eye-catching Cottonwood tree rising out of the bar.

Officially to be called the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel, the eight-story property will add 205 guest rooms to a fast-growing Omaha hotel industry whose newcomers include a wave of other full-service properties that identify as boutiques and tout a local theme.

Over the past five years, the Omaha metro area has seen an 11% increase in hotel rooms — beating the nation’s 8.5 percent growth rate during that same period, according to STR, which tracks national trends in the hospitality industry.

STR records show another nearly 1,500 hotel rooms in various stages of local planning that are projected to open during the next couple of years. That new growth would boost the existing number of 15,300 rooms by another 10%.

I guess they were too busy trying to get another tax passed to pay for this thing that they were too busy to look into specifics, like naming rights lol

Wow, I applaud their interior designers. This has got to be one of the most appealing and beautifully put together interiors I’ve ever seen in the city.

Oh wow. That Cottonwood Room is probably my favorite. This is very impressive.
