The 205-room Hotel Distil is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection Hotels, a portfolio of independent and upscale hotels comprising more than 180 properties. Many of Hotel Distil’s design cues are taken from bourbon barrels and the distilling process, with the intent of paying homage to Louisville’s bourbon heritage. Examples include wood tones, staves, black metal accents and copper fixtures. The hotel design incorporates an original 1860s-era façade, which was saved following a fire in 2015 and served as the original location and barrel house for J.T.S. Brown & Sons, a Kentucky bourbon whiskey produced by the Heaven Hill Distillery company. Hotel Distil will offer guests a nightly celebration of Prohibition. Guests will receive an invitation at check-in to join the hotel’s lobby for a nightly toast at 7:33 p.m., which is 19:33 Universal Time, the year Prohibition was repealed. Attendees will receive a celebratory whiskey cocktail. The hotel’s event space totals more than 11,000 square feet across its ballroom, three meeting rooms and …

Despite evidence of their own experience, developers of affordable housing can still minimize the incidence of unforeseen delays and underestimate their costs. Capital One has 75 such developments under construction, and more than half are in some way behind schedule. This is neither unusual nor a comment on our partners’ skills as developers of much-needed affordable housing. The point is that making up for lost time can be particularly costly. While unforeseen delays are no more common in affordable housing than in other building types, developers of this product type run the unique risk of losing crucial tax credits when they miss a place-in-service deadline. Loss of tax credits as a funding source, which can account for as much as half the capital funding project costs in some cases, upends the carefully crafted funding structure of the development. Other developers might be content to pay an extra month’s interest on their construction loan while addressing the source of delay, as this constitutes a less-significant sacrifice at today’s rates than in the past. But affordable housing developers must incur extra expenses and do whatever is necessary to get the project back on track. Unforeseen Bedrock A case in point is the …
