Downtown Redmond’s historic hotel features a rooftop bar

It’s been at least seven years in the making, but the vision of the New Redmond Hotel will soon be realized. Over the years, the hotel on the corner of Sixth and Evergreen streets has sat underused, undervalued and, at times, a vacant eyesore.

But come next month, Alpha Wave Investors LLC will open the rooftop bar and in two months the 49-room hotel below it.

Guests will soak up the mountain views from the sectional couches on the rooftop as they sip cocktails from the bar on top of the tallest building in Redmond.

The hotel is operated by Soul Community Planet, a subsidiary company of Alpha Wave, a private equity firm, said Bill Tremper, a founding partner and chief operating officer.

“We’ve been thoughtful about our renovations,” Tremper said. “The hotel (rooms) were vacant for a long time. It’s the cornerstone of the city’s revitalization and we love that.
