Sheraton hotel conversion to affordable multifamily housing
Rockville
Summary
The King Farm Sheraton would go from 155 hotel rooms to 143 apartments for people earning less than 80% of area median income, plus 12 short-stay units. Hotel occupancy has dropped to about 50% since COVID, and the developer says the site's impact won't exceed what the hotel generated at full occupancy. Final approval rests with the Mayor and Council.
