The 30-story glass and brick tower will feature 600 luxury hotel rooms on the lower levels. The upper levels will consist of 225 high-end apartments. The complex, bounded by Muhammad Ali Boulevard and Second, Third and Liberty Streets, will also feature a 20,000 square foot grocery store.

“From local art being featured inside to a unique bourbon bar to a rooftop swimming pool, this hotel will be a stunning addition to our downtown,” Fischer said at the news conference.
