Collierville threatens to sue over unfinished hotel
The Holiday Inn Express remains unfinished nearly seven years after the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen issued a development agreement in 2019. The town is considering legal action against the developers if they don't comply. (Abigail Warren/The Daily Memphian)
An unfinished hotel near Carriage Crossing has become a bit of a mess, and Collierville will take legal action if the developer doesn’t straighten up.
A March 3 letter from Nathan Bicks, town attorney, was sent to Onyx Collierville Hotel, the company building the Holiday Inn Express at Carriage Crossing. Bicks’ letter threatened a lawsuit if the company didn’t fix a myriad of issues. A draft lawsuit was attached to the letter.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the development agreement for the hotel in May 2019. Work would start and progress would be made, but then the work would stall for months at a time. Thousands of cars pass through the area daily, and many have questioned its status.
