Caldwell officials explore downtown hotel project with Faber Construction team

Caldwell's Urban Renewal Agency is poised for a significant development as discussions for a new hotel in the downtown area gain momentum. During a recent workshop, city officials and representatives from Faber Construction explored the potential for a boutique hotel that would enhance the local hospitality landscape and attract visitors to the growing wine industry in Caldwell.

Dean, a key city official, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating that the community has long hoped for a hotel option downtown. The proposal, led by Dale King of Faber Construction, envisions a "Tapestry" branded hotel, which would offer a unique experience tailored to the local culture and attractions, particularly the wine industry. King emphasized the importance of creating a vibrant downtown atmosphere that encourages visitors to stay and explore.

To facilitate this development, the Urban Renewal Agency has agreed to extend the timeline for the project, allowing for deeper discussions and planning. This extension is crucial as the hospitality group is currently focused on another hotel project in the area, with plans to engage in Caldwell's development later this year or early next year.

The proposed hotel aims to feature around 92 to 120 rooms, designed to reflect the local wine culture, with amenities that promote the downtown area as a destination. King assured that parking and noise concerns, particularly from nearby train activity, would be addressed through careful planning and engineering.

As the city moves forward, the hope is to finalize agreements and begin construction, potentially bringing the new hotel to fruition in the next year. This development is seen as a vital step in revitalizing Caldwell's downtown, enhancing its appeal to both residents and tourists alike. The Urban Renewal Agency remains committed to supporting this initiative, recognizing its potential to transform the community's economic landscape.
