The AmericInn motel in Eagle will be converted to 54 small apartments and rented for about $1,000 a month to millennials who value “experiences over stuff,” said Kelly Herzog of K Real Estate Development.
Herzog said she and her partners saw the Turntable Apartments in Denver make that conversion and decided they’d try it.
The as-yet unnamed project will feature much of the motel’s current amenities — workout facilities, spaces to gather, car sharing and other features — for the renters.
It will also include kitchens and other communal areas. “I like to think of it as a dorm facility for grownups,” Herzog said.
To get started, Eagle’s Town Board had to rezone the motel from a commercial property to high-density residential.
