More: Asheville hotel projects: What city government has approved since 2010
When I was the City Hall reporter I actually covered the 2017 meeting where ― amid resident angst over the increasing number of hotels and tourists ― a split City Council voted 5-2 to approve the renovation of a the historic "Kent Building" into a hotel. I also noticed a bunch of construction there, including what looked like a rooftop lounge taking shape. This one has to do with a five-story, classic brick building in the River Arts District not far from where I've lived for 21 years. What will the new building be and what will it be called and what is the estimated date for completion?Īnswer: I love when we get questions about things I was wondering about myself. When was that building constructed and over the years what has it been used for? I'm particularly interested in its original use and what it now will become. It's a rather large structure and certainly was built a long time ago. Question: I was driving down Riverside Drive on a recent afternoon and noticed what looked like a great deal of work being done on what I think was referred to at one time as the old Kent building. Got a question for Asheville Answer Man or Answer Woman? Email Executive Editor Karen Chávez at and your question could appear in an upcoming column. This installment of Answer Man looks into what's about to open at century-old building that once served as a Cold War refuge.
