I'm told that it's supposed to be office, but you're right, there is a demand for hotel space in that area. The lot looks a little on the small side for an office building. The lot was actually zoned for residential, and Hines had to apply for a zoning change.

I'm not sure, but there was a two-story nondescript office building there up until a year ago that was torn down. There's also an empty plot of land across the street that looks ripe for some development. Not sure if Hines owns either though, but I could see them putting up a tower there if they owned the land.
There is a dirt lot up the road on the corner of Eastgate and Towne Centre that has an advertisement for a pretty impressive modern office building that's supposed to be built there. Irvine Company project. I'll grab a snapshot on Monday.
