King Edward Hotel
Jackson, Mississippi

Returning a Jackson, Miss., landmark to its original grandeur, Clayco Inc. has completed a massive environmental cleanup and renovation project for the former King Edward Hotel. Plans included significant rehabilitation of both the structure’s interior and exterior architecture details. Part of the National Register of Historic Places, the 12-story mixed-use building re-opened in late 2009 as the Hilton Garden Inn-Jackson and as Apartments at the King Edward.

Clayco was joined on the project by developer King Edward Revitalization Co., composed of HRI Properties, Watkins Partners and NFL running back Deuce McAllister; and the design collaborative of HCI Architecture and Forum Studio Inc.
