Might be a good and worthwhile project, but rooftop parks tend to be chronically underused, for obvious reasons. People don't like the idea of traveling way out of their way just to sit on a bench. The same is true if you ask them to climb a dozen steps.
One challenge in this case (guessing) would be the need for any public park (if it's public) to allow anyone in. That would mean the hotel wouldn't be good enough access. Or maybe it's a private park in which case they can require people to have bathed, not be drunk (unless a hotel guest!), and so on. |
It's a shame that booming cities like Austin and Seattle are building so many lame, short boxes. These cities could have transformed their skylines.
Dallas and Charlotte are also building a handful of cheap, short boxes, whereas Chicago is building many cheap, 500' cheap boxes. I hope that this sad situation changes. |

Plans now call for a 30-story hotel with 615 rooms, plus 65,000 square feet of meeting, exhibit and entertainment space. It'll also have three bars and a restaurant.

Will the new Austin convention center be big enough?

FAA crane permit - it's indicating two.
The taller of the two cranes will be 548 feet once the building is topped out. This is according to the crane plan from the city. https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...62484991&row=3 Tower crane plans from the city. ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...ne_PLAN_01.pdf Construction cam: https://app.oxblue.com/open/tournee/AustinMarriott |

It looks nice, but the random-window-placement thing has gotten derivative. |
