Urbannizer Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/06/08/70-year-old-office-building-to-be-transformed-into.html Add another historic hotel renovation to downtown Houston's portfolio. The 16-story office building at 1114 Texas St. will be redeveloped into a Hyatt Place hotel, Rahul Bijlani, senior vice president of CBRE Hotels, confirmed to the Houston Business Journal. Bijlani's client, Nick Patel of Pride Management Inc., owns the property and will lead the redevelopment, he said. Patel declined to comment for the story. The 154-room hotel will open in December 2018, Bijlani said. The redevelopment will cost $14 million, according to a building permit filed with the city of Houston. The 115,360-square-foot building at 1114 Texas was built in 1948, per public records, and was last valued at $1.9 million as of Jan. 1. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Cool. I'm interested to see how they manage the construction. This thing has about 30 feet of access in front before they block the Magnolia or the lofts on the other side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yeah there's almost no access to this building. Even if all they're doing is internal rennovations, if Savoy -> Holiday Inn is any guide they'll need somewhere for a dumpster at the bear minimum - and I don't see a place for them to put it. Maybe they can get one down the back alley from Capitol st 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 That section of the alley is pretty small - I'm pretty sure it's narrower than a car (or dumpster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I've seen a car parked in the capitol alley way. I think they left through the sun roof though. I just looked at the street view and the Texas end is a little bit bigger than I remembered. Probably big enough to squeeze a dumpster into it https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7591544,-95.3612761,3a,75y,206.94h,121.35t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szU1hbvDqk2b2hNFbdrw9lg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Still nothing. EDIT: 3 hour later update - some dudes with clipboards and a measuring wheel were walking around from the alley and in to the front door when I just walked by. I know, riveting stuff, but it's more than the nothing I reported earlier... Edited August 8, 2017 by Nate99 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) **** Can we move this post to the Downtown Forum **** This is no different than the other hotel renovations we have followed there (Downtown Forum) honestly sounds like construction logistics. I am sure the developers of this project would have worked out the functionality of the final product by now. I am optimistic that we will see construction activity this year.

UtterlyUrban Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I seems to me that downtown hotel space has exploded over the last 4 years and I just have a nagging sense that it is getting over built. 6 years ago it could be hard to find a room in downtown on any given day. Now, that really doesn't seem to be the case. But, I know zip about the lodging business and what "over built" means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This requires a hotel / bed minimum. We were drastically short compared to other cities we try to compete with. All these rooms help. We also have growth in residents and office, which also increase the demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The development group, including Anthony Patel and Nick Patel of Pride Management, has obtained a $22.8 million loan for the long-vacant building from Dallas-based Hall Structured Finance, the companies announced. Renovation of the 16-story high-rise is targeted for completion by March 2019. The first-lien construction loan, which closed after Hurricane Harvey and represents a portion of the development costs, will jump start the project. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Wow! That’s great news. A 16 month construction cycle seems a bit optimistic to me but, whatever. What I am really enjoying is seeing how the hotel chains are putting various “levels” of product across downtown. Some “luxury”, some “business”, some “budget” etc. Kinda cool to watch. is ther one category that we don’t have in DT yet? “Extended stay”? I don’t think that we have that, yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) FWIW, the doors were open again yesterday with a port-a-potty parked in the vestibule. A few workers were milling about waiting for someone or something else to show up. It would appear that at least some cash is flowing, which is always a good sign.

Plans call for a dining area on the ground floor, a rooftop cocktail bar, a pool and fitness center in the basement, and 800 square feet of meeting space on the second floor. Keep 'em coming. That'd give us three rooftop hangouts downtown (the others being Le Meridien and Aloft). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 It's been another good year for hotel also. We might push yet another record year (unfortunately with Hurricane Harvey contributing a good amount in September), the current record holder being 2015 right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other rooftop bars in downtown: The Grove, El Big Bad, and the High Dive at Marriott Marquis. The Grove yes. El Big Bad no - it is a balcony attached to the second floor of the building. I didn't know about High Dive either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the post is referring to the bar at the Marriott pool and lazy river. The pool deck and bar is only accessible with a wristband and if you are a guest of the hotel.
