Not much remains of the Lincoln Journal Star's former production building at 900 Q St. Drury Hotels, which has owned the site since March 2020, started demolishing the building last month and is nearly finished. Last week, Drury filed a building permit for foundation work for an eight-story, 252-room hotel on the site.
As expected, it appears Lincoln will be getting another downtown hotel on the site of the former Journal Star production building.
Drury Development Corp., the development arm of Drury Hotels, filed a building permit last week for foundation work for an eight-story, 252-room hotel at 900 Q St.
The St. Louis-based company did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday, so details of the plan, such as the cost and construction timeline, are unknown.
Plans submitted to the Building and Safety Department show the hotel would be a Drury Plaza Hotel, which is the company's full-service hotel brand. It would have an indoor pool, fitness center, a restaurant and lounge, and meeting facilities.
City officials have previously said that Drury does not plan to seek tax-increment financing to help pay for the project, and it does not appear to be interested in having the site considered for a potential convention center.

Drury has owned the Journal Star production building lot and an adjacent 1-acre parking lot since March 2020, when it paid more than $9.6 million for the two properties.
The company last month started demolishing the 110,000-square-foot former production building.
At eight floors and 252 rooms, the planned Drury hotel would be one of the largest not only in downtown but in all of Lincoln.
The Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel is the city's largest, with 300 rooms. But the new hotel would be similar in size to the downtown Embassy Suites, at least in the number of rooms, and would have more rooms than The Graduate hotel.
It also will join an already-growing downtown hotel scene.
Two other hotels are already under construction, a 104-room Hampton Inn in the former Gold's Building at 11th and O streets and a 122-room six-story Residence Inn by Marriott at Ninth and R streets.
Derek Feyerherm, vice president of operations and development for Visit Lincoln, said the last time that many hotel rooms came onto the market in the downtown area at the same time was when Pinnacle Bank Arena and the West Haymarket were being developed.
Feyerherm said it will be interesting to see what the influx of that many rooms does to the downtown hotel market.
Downtown Lincoln Association President and CEO Todd Ogden said he's "delighted" to see another hotel project in downtown.
"The growing number of downtown hotels reflects positive economic growth for our city," Ogden said in an email. "At the same time, in order to support our growing hospitality sector effectively, a downtown convention center becomes far more essential."

Kayla Newnam works on her Nebraska-inspired mural at the Hub Cafe, on Tuesday in Lincoln. Three years into her national murals project, "Out There Murals," Newnam is well on her way to her goal of painting a mural in every state. Newnam, based out of Phoenix, Arizona, started the project during the pandemic and has been crisscrossing the U.S. "It has been three years, two trucks, two trailers and three dogs, and now I'm on mural 18," Newnam said. Lincolnites are invited to come and meet Newnam on Wednesday at the Hub Cafe as she works on the latest mural between 5-9 p.m.

Dat Tran tosses a bluegill back into the water while ice fishing at Holmes Lake on Friday. The ice measured at approximately 8 inches thick, but it probably won't stay that thick for long. While weekend highs are expected to remain in the mid to upper 30s, Lincoln is headed for a warmup next week. High temperatures are forecast to be in the low 40s Monday-Wednesday, with 50s possible Thursday and Friday.
