The planned hotel is Hotel Alessandra.

So glad to see this project coming together.
|
So who's going to operate the hotel?
|
That's what I'm talking about!

Official announcement expected soon:

Wish there was more renderings of the tower. But the retail at street level looks fantastic.

Minus the hotel component, it appears the concept is similar to the original Houston Pavillions. What will be different in order to avoid a similar fate as Houston Pavillions? |
I have my doubts it will look quite as colorful when done, but it would be interesting if they managed to achieve something that looks like that. Miami has that kind of color.
|
Construction on the hotel begins in early 2015, official announcement coming this month.

Official renderings revealed, the design is amazing.

So they are tearing down part of the pavilions for this? The pavilions was one of the dumbest developments, why they didn't have the foresight to put the shops facing the street instead of that odd inner alleyway is beyond me. It doesn't even feel like you're downtown but instead some ex urban outlet mall.

Hi-res renderings, Gensler is the architect.

If they want it open by Q3 2016, they'll have to move fast. Start date will have to be this year - which site demo in June should accommodate.
|
This looks amazing! I hope that white outline on the sides and on top change color!
|
Love it.
Just wish it was a full service hotel with about 20 floors of condos above the sky lobby. |
The article says it's 25-floors, but I'm getting 27 when I count them.

Very jealous of that design.
