A groundbreaking has been set for the nearly $300 million Omni Hotel and housing project in downtown Louisville.
The plans call for a 600-suite Omni hotel, 200-plus apartments, a grocery, retail space and a large parking garage.
The dismantling of the longtime Louisville Water offices has paved the way for construction. The city declined to designate the water company office a historic landmark, clearing its demolition.
The shovel ceremony for the Omni has been set for Friday, January 29.
The project was redesigned last year to make it more user-friendly and to meet objections of preservationists, who objected to a long blank wall along much of the Third Street. The redesign features a glass-encased stairway running the entire height of the four-story parking garage.
