Saratoga Springs is set to see significant development as the Planning Board discussed plans for a new mixed-use project during their meeting on July 17, 2025. The proposed development will occupy approximately 17 acres and includes a hotel, multifamily housing, and row houses, strategically located near key transportation routes.

The centerpiece of the project is a 110-room hotel designed in the Staybridge prototype, positioned at a prominent corner between Entrada and Route 9. The development will also feature two "H" shaped buildings that will house a total of 344 residential units. While the project aims to enhance the area, it will not include retail or commercial spaces at the ground level of these buildings, necessitating a special use permit for the proposed layout.

The design incorporates a two-lane road with parking on both sides, enhancing accessibility and traffic flow. Additionally, the project will provide various amenities for residents, including a multi-use path extension along Route 29, a pool, patio area, and a dog park. These features are intended to foster a community-oriented environment.

The Planning Board emphasized the importance of maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the hotel and residential buildings, indicating that further architectural adjustments may be required during the Design Review Board (DRB) process.

This development is expected to contribute positively to the local economy and community infrastructure, with future connections to a city park planned to the east of the site. As the project progresses, it will be crucial for stakeholders to ensure that the development aligns with the community's needs and vision for growth.
