I've asked previously, but are there any updates on the old hotel that looks bombed out (to the right of these buildings)?
801 St Joseph Pkwy? It underwent some form of remediation in the not too distant past. Windows have been removed for a while. It's still for sale. I thought it was under contract at some point last year, but the LoopNet listing was recently updated.

I doubt it will have the three hotel configuration that was envisioned in the rendering since Staybridge Suites (one of the three) has a standalone building under construction at Texas Ave & Austin Street... but it's not impossible for hotel to be the end use. A lot of the newer hotels downtown are the product of renovations of existing structures.

806 Main Street - JW Marriott (and it's expansion took over the adjacent Battlestein's building.
Houston Bar Center - AC Hotel
State National Bank - Moxy
Southwestern Bell Building - Hyatt Place
Stowers Building - Aloft
Houston Post - Magnolia Hotel
Melrose Building - Le Meridien
Great Southwest Building - Cambria
Savoy Hotel - Holiday Inn
Union National Bank - Hotel Icon
Humble Tower - Residence Inn / Courtyard / SpringHill Suites

Could add a special mention of the Westin across from the Ballpark since the original frame of the old Houston World Trade Center was re-used for the current structure.
