A major hospitality development is being proposed for Westport's waterfront district, with The Lodge at Half Moon Bay. Plans for a four-story hotel and event center that developers say would promote tourism growth in the community.

The Lodge at Half Moon Bay and Event Center would be constructed on a 1.91-acre site at 2653 Nyhus Street N., near the intersection with Sue Hoffman Street. The project includes plans for  100 guest rooms in the hotel, and a 7,400-square-foot event center positioned at the eastern end of the property.

The development would provide a total of 147 parking spaces through a combination of 45 enclosed garage stalls, 87 surface parking spots, and 15 on-street spaces. The facility is expected to employ approximately 40 staff members; however, developers expect that the final employee count may be lower once operations begin.

Located within Westport's waterfront community, developers note that the site is within walking distance of several popular attractions, including the Westport Light Trail and Viewing Tower, Half Moon Bay Beach, the Harbor Marina, and numerous local restaurants and shops. The Westport Inn is located southeast across Sue Hoffman Street from the proposed development.

The project site currently contains a single-family residence and several concrete pads, with commercial areas and public parking situated to the north across Nyhus Street. The new Lodge at Half Moon Bay footprint would span 23,932 square feet and would not exceed 50 feet in height.  

While currently proposed as a single-phase construction project, developers may consider a phased development approach, potentially building the event center as a subsequent phase.
