AC Hotel Clayton in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton is set for construction following a groundbreaking ceremony carried out by Midas Construction.Â
The project involves restoring a historically significant, underutilized location that had held the Clayton Police’s former headquarters. The project was initially expected to start in March 2020. However, this plan was interrupted by the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Clayton was extremely badly impacted by the epidemic. This is because a large portion of our sales tax revenue comes from the hospitality industry. For a year or more, our hotels and restaurants were simply empty. We’re still having a hard time recovering from that” said Sam Koplar, president of Koplar Properties.
Koplar Properties is one of the firms that make up the AC Hotel Clayton project team. Others are HomeBase Partners and Concord Hospitality as well as the DLR Group, which designed the development.
Early 2024 is the projected completion date of the AC Hotel Clayton project.
