SA Pictures 11-26-07

I've always liked this view, now until forever!




A&M campus rendering, sort of, it looks like it is following the development codes of CitySouth, urban!


On to downtown.


On foot.










I loved how the Marriott reflected off the building.


I had to get a "wall" shot in there.




This was an amazing shot and coloring of the building.




Installing some panels, what looks to be the colored ones.


Our wonderful hotels from 37.


Peekin' over the highway.


Vidorra is looking pretty good.


This doesn't even look like San Antonio for some reason.


I've never realized how big the gap was between the Marriotts until now, even this gap is huge.


On the way out.

New progess of Vistana.


other side off Houston


I've always loved this view.


It's too bad Marriott wont tear down the current Riverwalk and build another, taller Marriott hotel in its place


and a new hotel no one cares about, right by the highway.

I like the old Marriott Rivercenter. It's certainly more handsome than the new convention center hotel.

Good job on the pics! It looks great, especially from that skyline shot. The Marriott's roof looks higher than the penthouse in this shot though. In fact from the backside the Marriott always looks very tall imo. Maybe different angles just make the Hyatt look taller?

Oh yeah, definately the roof is taller, but the mech house is hands down taller than the Marriott roof.

Cool. The last time I saw it in person was in June, can't wait to see it now though

Oh definately, but I'm talking about the short one, the box.

I hope the new Hyatt is illuminated nicely.BTW, can you imagine if the sleek colorful tower was built instead,what the area would have looked like.

Fantastic pictures! The Vidorra is coming along nicely and I know for sure that the second tower will be built! Rejoice! Jaga, was that TAMU-SA rendering off of 410 where they dedicated the land a week or so ago? I believe that area (off 410) will just be the monument entrance and the main campus will be a mile or so further south. However, that rendering seems to have the word Verano on it. Verano is the master planned new urbamism community by the Las Vegas group. I like what I see.

Great set of pics of the new developments. That SA campus of A&M's going to be very nice.

They really have a lot of work to do on the Hyatt before the opening. I guess they have roughly 3 to 4 months. Gonna be tight...
