City Lot 10, the parking lot across from Loosey’s on Southwest First Avenue and Southwest Second Street, is being eyed as the site for a new 12-story hotel.
Horizon Hospitality Management Inc. is interested in developing a mixed-use project there, which would include a 12-story Embassy Suites Hotel and around 25,000 square feet of meeting space, according to the company’s proposal.
Its plan also involves incorporating a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in the mixed-use development as well as 15,000 square feet of office space.
Horizon Hospitality Management received a letter of interest from Shadow Health, a Gainesville-based educational software developer, about using that much office space, according to its proposal.
