That’s going to go over like a lead balloon in this climate.
Veteran real estate developer Allison Davis wants to build a 26-story, 250-room hotel a few blocks from where his longtime friend and former President Barack Obama is building his namesake presidential library.
A venture led by Davis is seeking approval for the project on vacant land he owns at 6402-20 S. Stony Island Ave., according to a zoning application submitted to the City Council last week. The site is down the street from the future Obama Presidential Center, which is slated to open next year.
The proposal is meant to capitalize on the 700,000 visitors that city officials project will come to the Obama Center each year. Adding to the nearby Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, the presidential complex stands to fortify the lakefront portion of the Woodlawn and Hyde Park neighborhoods as a tourist destination.
The stone is nice
