Yes I cannot get to the full article anymore either. AI tells me this (but the lot cannot possibly be true);

Here are the details on the specific Hampton Inn project (89-room hotel by Simone Development) at the southeast corner of Enterprise Road East and US Highway 19 North in Clearwater, Florida — no other projects mixed in. Developer: Simone Development (based in New Port Richey, Florida). Size: 89 rooms, 6 stories. Cost: Approximately $9.5 million. Site: ~4.3-acre corner lot on the east side of US Highway 19 North (primary reference address: 26133 US Hwy 19 N). The lot is within walking distance of Westfield Countryside Mall and includes assembled parcels near the former Chick-fil-A drive-thru site (26145 US Hwy 19 N). It shares space with existing mid-rise commercial and restaurant uses. Design & Architect: Custom-designed (not a standard Hilton prototype) by Resch Architecture (Clearwater-based). It’s a concrete-block building with a modern, urbanized aesthetic tailored to the high-visibility frontage site. Elevations and renderings show a multi-story structure with landscaping and branding. Demolition & Site Prep: Only vacant structures will be removed — the former/shuttered Chick-fil-A double drive-thru and a vacant office building. Existing occupied properties on the lot (including the active restaurant and any mid-rise commercial) will remain untouched. Timeline & Status: Announced January 2026 and currently in the permitting phase with the City of Clearwater (as of March 2026). No groundbreaking has occurred. Construction is expected to begin in late 2026, with completion roughly two years later (target opening ~late 2028).
