The former Longaberger basket building on the eastern edge of Newark will be open for business again, although it will be a place to spend the night instead of work in an office.
In a couple years, the seven-story basket building will open as a luxury hotel with 150 rooms, a restaurant and indoor pool.
— Newark Advocate
Formerly the quirky headquarters of The Longaberger Company in Newark, Ohio, the building has been sitting empty since 2016 and was eventually sold to developers in late 2017 (previously on Archinect).
Cleveland-based Sandvick Architects will be designing the landmark's transformation into a luxury hotel.
