  1. With the Equinox Hotel going in at ROD, should this start soon to be competitive? Another hotel option on Westcreek. Leaving the land as green space would be nice. Might be a weird placement for greenery though.
  2. Photos from this week. Look at the columns with the glass facade! Love this, for the area. San Antonio is too historic. Needs more glass towers Arriving in San Antonio, I was on top of a parking garage within 45 minutes Old building vs new Early morning w/ lights
  3. Photos from this week. Had no idea this was being built until I stayed down the street.
  4. I've seen this a few years ago? Nigeria has been getting wealth from China right? China has been investing billions on infrastructure, etc. Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Looks great, but it sure will be lots of work!
  5. The base to resident floors is wild. Surly that’s just a prelim design? Sounds like a design game changer
  6. http://www.walterpmoore.com/projects/hilton-canopy-hotel The new 24-story boutique Canopy by Hilton hotel will provide a fresh façade downtown in the San Antonio’s world famous River Walk in the heart of downtown with numerous area restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. Construction began in January 2017 and the hotel will open in the Fall of 2018. The hotel connects three existing buildings – the MIC building, Esquire Tavern, and Sullivan Bank. The MIC building will be replaced entirely by the boutique hotel all while enveloping the Sullivan Bank building due to its historic significance. Sullivan Bank will be restored and reworked into the new structure all while maintaining the historic integrity of the Office of Historic Preservation of San Antonio. Esquire Tavern is not part of the new development however a portion of the cantilever will protrude over the existing space, necessitating careful construction coordination to avoid disrupting operations of the tavern. When faced with challenge of construction on a tight city site and preserving existing buildings, the team provided an innovative design solutions featuring cantilevered transfer walls. The team’s design balances the need to preserve the existing buildings while providing the new 3,000 square feet of meeting space, 195 rooms and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace overlooking the River Walk. Architect Gensler Construction Cost $40 million Completion Date March 2018 Project Size 115,000 SF 18 floors 197-key
  7. Thank you. Went down to the RW and saw more information on the project. It’s not on HAIF unless it changed the design team? Gensler and Lake Flato designed it. Any clues?
  8. For Pearl to build on the Greyhound station lot. Is what I got at least
  9. Is this what I see? Tower crane in CBD Too small of a site but I did see “park” in the project title
  10. I’m here at the tower. Beautiful! Love the support columns! Parking garage is plain. Should have pulled a Hanover or Caydon
