The family-owned Skokie-based hotel company marked the occasion with a groundbreaking ceremony that took place April 30 at U:30 am. Sheila Lakhani Gilani, the company's director of operations and the daughter ofcompany owner Mansoorali Lakhani, said the date was chosen because it coincided with the 11th anniversary of Lakhani Hospitality's entry into the hotel business. The family also used the ceremony as an opportunity to donate $10,000 to the Nues Family Services food pantry. Karim Lakhani, Sheila's brother and the company's assistant director of operations, previously told the Nues Herald-Spectator that the construction was originally sup- posed tostartinApril,but Lakhani Hospitality didn't want to start construction until it got a Class 7(b) tax incentive and a special-use permit for the site. Lakhani Hospitality spokeswoman Alisa Bay said that the delay wouldn't affect the construction timetable, and that the corn- pany still intends to open the hotel by May 2016. In documents submitted to the Village Board, Lakhani Hospitality argued that without the incentives, it would not be able GOP STUDENKOV/PIONEER PRESS PHOTO to get enough of a return on the investment Mayor Andrew Przybylo receives a check for Lakhani family's $10,000 donation to the Nues Family Services food pantry. to make the project worthwhile.
