ANOTHER OLD ALBUQUERQUE MOTEL IS ABOUT TO GET RENOVATED COMPLETELY. THE SAME DEVELOPER WHO RE-DID THE EL VADO ON CENTRAL AVENUE IS NOW READY TO FIX UP THE MONTEREY MOTEL NEXT TO THE EL VADO. THE MONTEREY WAS BUILT BACK IN 1937.
NOW, CHAD RENNAKER WITH PALINDROME COMMUNITIES SAY THEY’RE WORKING TO GET THE MONTEREY ON THE HISTORIC REGISTER AND WILL THEN BEGIN RENOVATIONS. THEY’LL PUT IN ADDITIONS, MAKE THE MONTEREY AN ENTERTAINMENT HUB … RENOVATE THE FRONT DESK TO MAKE IT A COCKTAIL LOUNGE OR PUB. THEY ALSO PLAN TO PUT IN A PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY BETWEEN THE TWO MOTELS.
