Summary:
- Johnson & Wales University is investing $42 million to convert a former DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Charlotte’s Third Ward into a 150-room, 276-bed residence hall for upperclassmen, with completion expected in two years.
- The renovation includes a new 6,500-square-foot welcome center designed for prospective students and a lounge, alongside upgraded mechanical systems and expanded student services.
- This project aligns with a broader trend of repurposing office and hotel buildings into student housing in Uptown Charlotte, joining similar conversions at Brooklyn & Church, The Johnston Building, and others.
