There's a new rendering out for the Seaholm Plaza Hotel. This 22-story hotel/condo tower will join the redevelopment of the old Seaholm Power Plant. The design will mimic the art-deco style of the power plant which was built in the late 40s.

Developers are expected to roll out today their vision for a mixed-use project that would transform the former Seaholm Power Plant into shops, offices, a hotel and condominiums by 2009.
The Austin City Council will get its first look at a new rendering of the project, which features a modern design while retaining the distinctive Art Deco building and its five signature smokestacks.
The decommissioned 1940s plant sits on about 8 acres along West Cesar Chavez Street overlooking Town Lake.
An adjacent 22-story residential/hotel tower and two-story office building also would have a modern design but with an Art Deco flavor.
