It looks like both this property and 2214 Dorrington were all purchased by "DORRINGTON PARTNERS LP".  The mailing address is 5600 Central Drive, Suite 238.  I found some partnerships sharing that same address that appear to be associated with New Horizons Hospitality:

Existing brands include SpringHill Suites, Hyatt Place, Hilton Garden Inn, and Homewood Suites.

I really hope we don't get another one of these budget hotels, the area is flooded with them. I have no problem with them being budget hotels, but I do have a problem with their cookie cutter buildings. It's almost the same exact building every time, no matter the brand. I know we don't have renderings yet, but I can guarantee it's going to look something like this. The area has so much charm, I really hope this fall through. I would actually prefer this lot stays empty than have another generic "hotel."

The lot size is what's making me question the ultimate plans here - unless I am mistaken, it is considerably smaller than even the Residence Inn lot (including garage) at Kirby and Main.  So if this is indeed intended for a hotel, it would undoubtedly have to go vertical to make any sense.  And even then I have to wonder how it would work with the strange lot shape.  It's basically the same size as the car wash next door.

I love stuff like this, it looks like west LA or a suburb in Japan. The key would build like 500 more of them inside the loop*

 

*I don't mean this particular building, its not architecturally my taste, but I mean like the general form factor of a 4-5 apartment that has minimal tuck-under parking that's only like a 1/4 acre and replaces a house, and there could be several of these on any given block. This is the next evolutionary step after those 3 story townhomes.
