Hotel Development Approved For Highway 181

Fairhope, Alabama

Possible designs.

Turning lanes to be added.

 

CALLED 'BOARDWALK VILLAGE'

The city council gave the go-ahead for the mixed-use 'Boardwalk Village' planned unit development (PUD) on 10.25 vacant acres on Highway 181 across from Walmart, consisting of retail shops, restaurants, some residences, and a small boutique hotel.

Kleban Properties is the developer.

Access will be from the existing traffic signal on 181 (Walmart entrance) where turning lanes are to be added. 

No other traffic improvements are required according to the traffic study by Neel Schafer consultants.

Rear access to the Idlewild neighborhood will be pedestrian/bike/golf cart only.

The project will still need more-specific site plan approvals from the city before construction can begin. 

No timeline has been mentioned yet.

These articles about development are very frustrating. Water tower on 104….where on 104…hotel across from Walmart on 181 on ten vacant acres…do you mean the NW corner? Reporters should add more information.

We are not aware of the exact proposed location for the tank yet; the proposed Boardwalk Development is not on the corner, it is about 100 yards south.

"Boutique hotels are small-inventory, design-driven, unique hotels with their own character, personality and storytelling at the heart of their concept. Positioning is secondary for these hotels as they focus on authenticity and personalization. They capitalize on the desire for rich experiences by incorporating elements such as nature and environment, cuisine, history, local culture and community, service and wellness .. ."
