The proposed hotel near Rose Music Center at The Heights will be branded within the Hilton, Holiday Inn or Marriott families, according to a Huber Heights development agreement.

The $600,000 land sale to LAXMI Hospitality LLC is under consideration by Huber Heights city council. The developer intends to build a four-story, minimum 88 room hotel.

Huber Heights is offering the developer incentives to make the hotel larger. If the hotel opens with 125 rooms within 24 months of the closing date the city will refund $50,000 of the purchase price to the developer.

If the hotel opens with 88 rooms within 18 months, the city will refund $25,000. Or, if the developer opens the hotel with 88 rooms within 12 months, the city will refund $50,000 of the purchase price.

The developer also will have a six-month option to purchase an additional four acres at $300,000 per acre.

The agreement states the developer acknowledges the property “is located in close proximity to an outdoor music venue which may … generate noise and heavy traffic conditions during certain events.”

Health department and auditor records indicate LAXMI Hospitality LLC also operates the 72-room Hampton Inn at 5588 Merily Way, also in Huber Heights.
