The $36.5 million, 11-story hotel is located at 110 W. Kearsley St., formerly Genesee County Savings Bank. The historic building, which sat vacant for decades, was the city’s second skyscraper when construction was completed in 1920 and once housed the Flint Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and a real estate firm.
