Baywood Hotels Inc. returns July 12 to the Downtown Development Review Board for conceptual approval of its proposed Residence Inn by Marriott hotel in Brooklyn. When the board discussed the project Thursday at a workshop, reaction was positive although hurdles remain. Baywood, through Parkview Plaza Partners LLC, plans to build a six-story, 135-room, limited service Residence Inn at southeast Forest and Magnolia streets, across from Unity Plaza and 220 Riverside. Parkview Plaza Partners purchased the 1.83-acre property in 2014 for $645,000. It bought almost the entire block between Oak and Magnolia streets and between Forest and Dora streets. Complicating the design are two property owners who control other parts of the block, including L O Properties, which has a quarter-acre site along Oak Street, in the center of the proposed hotel property. Boca Raton-based architectural and engineering firm Base 4 International Inc. is working on the project. Jason Faulkner with the Jacksonville-based firm Studio9 Architecture LLC presented renderings Thursday on Base 4’s behalf showing the hotel wrapping around the L O Properties site. Attorney Steve Diebenow is representing Parkview Plaza Partners through the Driver, McAfee, Hawthorne & Diebenow firm. He said his client has been unable to persuade the other property owners to sell.
