Davis Square Hotel - update

Somerville Patch has a good summary of the proposals for a hotel in Davis Square (where the farmer's market is now) here: http://somerville.patch.com/articles/davis-square-hotel-what-developers-have-proposed.

Also, you can go to the City's website to see much of the submitted material here: http://www.somervillema.gov/departments/ospcd/economic-development/davis-square-hotel-project

Other information can be found at an independent website created by a neighbor: http://herberthotel.net/

Seems that Davis Square Partners (Gate Residential and KSS Realty) can't get enough of Somerville! They are finalizing Maxwells Green and have bid on both the Powderhouse Community School and the Herbert Hotel opportunity.

Is there a similar page on the city website for the Powderhouse Community School bidding process? Where can I find out more about KSS's (and other) proposals for that site?

Hi Ron,

Yes, there is a similar page, however, the proposals have not been posted yet.

I'm sorry, I'm using the link feature, but it's not making the URL an actual link.

I don't know what "the link feature" is, but just typing a URL in a comment should turn it into a link.

This page is from 2010, which I guess is a previous attempt to develop the property?

Ron,

The link does have the recent request for a proposal on it (right hand side), so I'm assuming this is where the bids and current information will live.
