Report: Hotel Still in the Cards for Downtown Lakewood

According to Urbanland, Continuum and GF Properties are still working to bring a hotel to Belmar. Urbanland quotes Continuum's Mark Falcone as saying, "it'll probably be a limited service hotel, like a Hyatt Place or a Courtyard by Marriott," and that "all I can say with certainty is it will be green."

Health One Interested in Downtown Lakewood Facility

According to the City of Lakewood Planning Department, HealthONE is considering 260 S. Wadsworth Blvd. for an emergency medical facility.

This is the vacant parcel just north of the new downtown Lakewood Walgreens, and its development would complete the transformation of the old Geico building and Bennigans property.

One wrinkle is that a special use permit would be required, along with a public hearing-- currently scheduled for Weds. August 21 at 7 pm.

Update: the proposed facility would be two stories, with doctors' offices on the second floor and a walk-in emergency room on the ground floor. The facility would be permitted to receive patients via ambulance service as well.

Coming Soon to Belmar: Corepower Yoga

Well, this is going to make a lot of people I know happy. 

According to the Belmar main page, downtown Lakewood is getting a Corepower yoga studio! The address given is 7361 W. Alaska Drive-- right along the section of W. Alaska that is also home to The Rock Wood Fired Pizza and Zynga! Frozen Yogurt.

I was very excited to hear this, as Corepower represents a a category of business that brings people to downtown Lakewood not just to shop, but to live and play, too. Really, this is is great, great news.
