UtterlyUrban Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 If the Sky House guys were building it, I would say yes, but at the rate they are going I don't see them doing it.Which brings up a thought:The city secured the super bowl by promising more hotel rooms. Anyone remember how many? Was there a specific location for those rooms to be added or could they be anywhere in the metroplex? Are we close or have we already passed the hurdle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Which brings up a thought:The city secured the super bowl by promising more hotel rooms. Anyone remember how many? Was there a specific location for those rooms to be added or could they be anywhere in the metroplex? Are we close or have we already passed the hurdle? I don't think the city promised more hotel rooms than we already had. We were required to commit 19,000 rooms. We passed the hurdle long long ago (and with regard to the 2017 Super Bowl, had it met a the time the bid was made). I'm pretty sure the only specific promise made to the Super Bowl selection committee regarding new hotels was that we would have the Marriott Marquis as part of the package. I think we have somewhere around 75,000 hotel rooms in the metro area. By the time the Super Bowl arrives, we should have well more than the 19,000 in just the central areas of Downtown/Medical Center/Museum District/Uptown/Greenway Plaza (if we didn't already). Downtown and Uptown combined will have well over 16,000 rooms. Edited September 1, 2015 by Houston19514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We should have Aloft and the Hamptonwood up and running by the SB in addition to the Marquis. The Galleria Hyatt and JW Marriott (and whatever I'm not thinking of) will be new since the last one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I didn't get any pics today since I couldn't get a clear shot. .. Some of the rebar has gone vertical, so I anticipate concrete in the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Alessandra website still says it's opening Fall 2016.Well, that is good!But, wasn't the Marriott marque also scheduled for fall 2016? Looking at it and looking at this project, it sure seems that this project is on a different timetable. Perhaps it will really begin to fly now.... It is a smaller hotel so, I guess it is certainly possible that it could catch up to the Marriott.

Dallas St. is down to one lane but not closed. No pour today, still lots of rebar in racks on Dallas but I could see a pour coming soon, maybe next weekend. I looked for a tower crane foundation but couldn't find one. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bransocial Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 GreenStreet has so much potential. I hope all the new residential development, the hotel, improvements to Dallas St Can drive increased pedestrian traffic. I would love to see the day when GreenStreet is fully leased. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) I love that Root Sports has their studio there along with some cool adult play spots like House of Blues and Lucky Strike. I think the hotel is going to drive retail, it almost has to. People who stay there are going to want to shop and play conveniently. As of right now there is a solid foundation of development to build on. It makes me wonder that if enough retail and development happens downtown, could Houston become a nice little destination city?

They're getting there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
