The University of Louisville Board of Trustees approved a letter of intent on June 24 to proceed with plans to construct a Marriott Hotel near campus. The property plans include up to 200 rooms, a conference center, an urban Target, a parking structure and a restaurant.
This property will be placed between Fourth Street and Third Street along Cardinal Boulevard. This space is currently occupied by Cardinal Mart, Insomnia Cookies, Maira Mediterranean Grill and Laundry and Tan Connection.
The project will be financed by Provident Resources Group Inc., a Georgia nonprofit corporation and U of L will not be financially responsible for the project.
