Lenexa to consider public finance incentives for renovation of office building into Home2 Suites by Hilton

The Lenexa City Council will hold a May 15 public hearing to consider whether to approve a redevelopment tax-increment financing project plan for a proposed Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel and office project on the southwest corner of Rosehill Road and 96th Terrace.

The project would comprise renovation of a two-story, roughly 19,000-square-foot office building and related improvements in a first phase, and construction of a four-story, 99-room Home2 Suites hotel and related improvements in a second phase. The roughly 5.63-acre site of the proposed project is within the I-35 and 95th Street TIF District.

The council unanimously approved holding the hearing as part of its consent agenda at its Tuesday night meeting. The Lenexa Planning Commission approved the final plan for the proposed office redevelopment and recommended rezoning and the preliminary plan for the hotel at its Monday night meeting. City staff also recommended approval for the project.
