Maclellan Apartments Withdraws Request To Make 2 Units Short Term Vacation Rentals

  • Wednesday, January 22, 2020

The Maclellan Apartments has withdrawn a request to convert two of its 90 units to short term vacationi rentals.

The requests came before the City Council on Tuesday night, and Chairman Erskine Oglesby said they had been withdrawn.

Maclellan Apartments received a PILOT tax break from the city earlier. 

Mayors Andy Berke and Jim Coppinger last August wrote a letter to Market City Center, which got a PILOT and also converted some units for short term rentals. They said the move was in violation of terms of the PILOT and those units will now be assessed for property taxes.

The Maclellan Apartments are in the historic Maclellan Building on Broad Street.
