Doran Companies’ recently proposed Dinkytown apartment complex could instead be a hotel without retail space.
In August, Doran Companies unveiled a plan to develop a mixed-use, six-story luxury housing complex to the Minneapolis City Planning Commission. The development would displace Mesa Pizza and other businesses.
But Doran Companies CEO Kelly Doran told the Minnesota Daily on Wednesday that the company is now considering building a hotel on the land instead. The hotel plan would be the same size and likely not include any retail space, Doran said.
