Developers plan 24-story Hilton hotel downtown
By Richard Webner, Staff Writer Published 3:12 pm, Monday, February 1, 2016 Developers are proposing to tear down the Sullivan Building on Commerce Street and replace it with a 24-story Canopy by Hilton hotel. The city Historic and Design Review Commission on Wednesday will decide whether to approve the hotel, which will include 197 rooms and will span 137,927 square feet, according to city documents. In January of last year, the commission granted approval for an 18-story hotel on the property under the condition that the developer make changes to the design and come back for further approval. The project would preserve the building at 155 East Commerce, known as the Dwyer Building and the Fishmarket Building. rwebner@express-news.net link to article: http://www.mysanantonio.com/real-est...wn-6798924.php |

Update - Developers plan “boutique” Hilton hotel downtown
The original plans, which were tentatively approved last year, called for an 18-story hotel. The latest design submitted to the historic commission shows 24 levels but only 20 will include hotel rooms and guest facilities, said developer Chris Hill. It has a cantilever section jutting out toward the River Walk and a pool on its roof.
The building is estimated to cost between $55 million and $60 million, Hill said. By Richard Webner, Staff WriterFebruary 1, 2016 construction is set to begin within six months and last for about 20 months. link to article: http://www.expressnews.com/business/...el-6799509.php |
The height increase is nice, but I hope they get rid of that corner staircase. It's such a waste of ground-level opportunity. And every floor, for that matter.

I see what Jack is saying. The fact there is no life on that corner is kind of off putting. Maybe there will be some art or something drawing attention away from the fact there is nothing.

I think since most of this building is cantilevered that maybe this corner is only place for a staircase to go directly to street level. We will know more for sure once we can see floor plans of this building. Awesome on the additional floors added!!! It will almost be as tall as the Alamo National Bank/Drury Plaza Hotel!

So it's going to replace that parking lot? I wonder if they'll protect those palm trees on the right of way. That's always been a neat scene in downtown walking down that sidewalk through those palms.
