Builders broke ground last week on The Ballad Hotel, a redevelopment project along the downtown Clearwater waterfront.
The 10-story, 158-room hotel overlooking Coachman Park and Clearwater Harbor is part of a 230,000-square-foot, mixed-use development, the city said in a news release.
The development will feature ground-level restaurants and retail along Osceola Avenue, a rooftop bar, dining areas, meeting rooms with views of Clearwater Bay, and an integrated parking garage with 169 spaces.
The project is a collaboration between the city, the Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency and the DeNunzio Group.
