About This Property
This project began as a hotel to apartment building conversion and was recently completed in January 2020.
The Story
Formerly a Ramada Inn, and then becoming the Stratford Hotel, the property was purchase by Empire Residential back in 2016. The site is 4.7 acres in total and sits along Lordship Blvd., which sees an average of 21,000 vehicles per day. The principals saw a lot of potential in the site given its proximity to I-95 and rt 1. The hotel was closed and approvals were sought to convert the existing 149 rooms into 70 luxury residential apartments, consisting of 5 studios, 53-1BRs and 12-2BRs. The Empire team improved the complex by keeping and renovating the indoor pool, creating a brand new fitness center and adding a dog park on the south side of the building. The original hotel restaurant and catering hall space along the front of the hotel was demolished, and two pad sites were created in it's place. Empire is looking to expand it's footprint along Lordship Blvd., by adding an additional 100 unit luxury apartment building on the site, creating an amenity rich, 170 unit luxury residential apartment community.
