Last month, Sugar House residents packed a Community Council meeting to hear from John Potter, a developer with Magnus Hotel Management. A planned 145-room boutique hotel at the northwest corner of Sugar House Park. Community Council chairman Landon Clark told City Weekly that many residents wish the land could be incorporated into Sugar House Park. The extra height would allow for underground parking and retail space for local businesses, but would also mean a larger structure overlooking Sugar House Park. Promises of a coffee shop, locally-owned rooftop restaurant and bike rentals are meant to appeal to neighborhood residents.
