I just wish the defenders of this development in the comments section of the EN article would get their facts straight. Being just to the southwest of the Alamo, it definitely will cast a shadow on the Alamo, especially during winter, when the sun is in the south.

As for Ashkenazy's seriousness, I have serious doubts. I worked in the Joske's building for 2 years and was privy to all sorts of pie-in-the-sky development plans that didn't pan out. This rendering looks like little more than a placeholder. It doesn't seem designed so much as it apes the Grand Hyatt but with a right-angle turn in the middle.

And the timeshares being referred to by another commenter are probably La Cascada, which is another Wyndham development. They're not off 37-- nonetheless it's obvious that's what they were thinking of.
