PORT HURON, MICH.—Port Huron, Michigan will become home to a new eco-friendly boutique hotel; CityFlatsHotel brand will open its third Michigan location in this historic downtown setting. Located at 301 Huron Avenue, CityFlatsHotel—Port Huron will revive one of the most well-known landmarks in the area. The building which once housed Sperry’s Department Store will be converted into a truly unique hotel property, a project CityFlatsHotel is familiar with from the construction of its Grand Rapids, Mich. location.
“There is nothing more exciting than to see your baby take their first steps,” said Chuck Reid, owner of CityFlatsHotel. “We are honored and excited to be chosen to expand our CityFlatsHotel brand, along with developing a new center of activity for the bustling Port Huron downtown.”
After purchasing the building in 2011 and beginning restorations, development group Sperry’s Landmark Inc. has now signed a licensing agreement with CityFlatsHotel. In addition to licensing, CityFlatsHotel will operate the property through a management agreement.
Result of Years of Planning
“After several years of determination, Sperry’s Landmark is looking forward to welcoming CityFlatsHotel to downtown Port Huron,” said Principal of Sperry’s Landmark Inc., Brent Marsall. “We recognize the value that CityFlatsHotel will bring to our downtown. With their unique experience and success in the development of boutique hotels, we are confident that our team will continue to grow downtown Port Huron to new heights.”
The projected opening for CityFlatsHotel—Port Huron is spring 2015. Chuck Reid and Sperry’s Landmark Inc. announced the CityFlatsHotel—Port Huron project on Wednesday, April 16 at the Sperry’s Building.
