Signia Hotel near substantial completion; opening planned for December with Oct. 2 ribbon cutting

Board members received a construction update: construction work at the Signia Hotel is progressing toward substantial completion on Oct. 6, and the presenter said, "Opening is set for December," while noting some ongoing work will continue after that date.

The speaker said 400 rooms are furnished and punch-list work is underway; exterior work on the hotel’s northeast corner (the future third-party restaurant at Illinois and Georgia Street) has not yet been finalized and that lease signing may lag. The board discussed connector timing and exterior coordination with nearby Union Station projects; Georgia Street work is expected to be complete by the end of the month and a ribbon cutting is scheduled for Oct. 2. The presenter also noted tree plantings are scheduled for November, so some landscaping in renderings will not be present on the ribbon-cutting date.
