Lawrenceville along with development partners, NorthPointe Hospitality Management, LLC, recently broke ground on a new 380-space public parking deck and 120-room boutique Hilton Tapestry Hotel called “The Lawrence” at the corner of Crogan and Jackson Street.
City Manager Chuck Warbington said of the project, “The city and our Downtown Development Authority are continuing to work innovatively with solid developers like NorthPointe to realize a vision for community engagement in our core. This hotel project provides the area market with a much needed option for overnight-stay while delivering additional parking options to serve our community on a daily basis.”
The architectural design of “The Lawrence” includes a nod to Lawrenceville’s old Genesco Shoe Factory that was located nearby. Its name comes from Captain James Lawrence for which the city is named.
The parking deck is expected to be ready for patrons by fall of 2020 with the hotel opening early 2021. Parking will not be available at the site during construction.
