A hotel in Fremont?

[randy_byers]

The Fremont Universe blog reports that the building housing the Dubliner (an Irish bar) and 23 apartments above has been sold for $4 million (!) and that the buyer is saying they will develop the apartments into a hostel or pensione-style hotel. That could be a potentially very cool development, although I'm curious what kind of demand there is for hotel rooms in Fremont. Would it be aimed at business people? Tourists? People who are in town visiting friends for the weekend?

How about, Anyone visiting Adobe or Getty Images? That's a subset of business people, yes, but those are two world-leading companies with substantial footprints in Fremont.

It's not unlike the cluster of Marriott properties (not only the Marriott at Redmond Town Center, but also a Courtyard and a Residence Inn) near Microsoft.

Or for that matter, Google, which has an admittedly smaller office in the same office park as Getty. It's entirely possible that that's the niche market they'd be after.
