When Taylor Johnson client SoLa, a $305 million resort development in downtown Michigan City, Ind., near Lake Michigan, announced earlier this year it was starting sales for its 170 condominiums, the project was splashed across media outlets. Last month, we were able to grab headlines once again with the announcement that Marriott International would open a Renaissance Hotel as the hospitality anchor of SoLa. Both hotel guests and SoLa residents will be able to enjoy the hotel’s full-service spa, fitness center, pool, ballroom, meeting spaces and rooftop restaurant with an open-air dining deck overlooking the lake. As the only Renaissance Hotel between Chicago and the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel, the SoLa location announcement was breaking news for a number of publications, including Hotel Online, Hotel Investment Today, Hotel Management, Northwest Indiana Business Magazine, Inside Indiana Business, Ink Free News, Building Indiana Business, REjournals and Dunes Diva.

And stay tuned to TJ TALK for more SoLa news, including the start of sales for the project’s 18 townhomes, many with rooftop decks and sweeping views of Lake Michigan.
