I know everyone loves skyscrapers and big developments, but I don't think that this project really fits with the surrounding neighborhood and would only bring in more of the same and you would lose that edgy feel that gives EADO its vibe. Plus it's just so commercial and smacks of Kitsch. Like I said earlier something like the San Jose in Austin, or the Hotal Havana in San Antonio, both small boutique hotels, would fit in and add to the bohemian qualities that give EADO its funk. The rendering looks like it should be on the Kemah boardwalk or across from the Galveston amusement park pier. Liz Lambert could come up with something that was hip and draw tourists.

From Houston Chronicle, June 1, 2018: A new $150 million hotel and condo tower is planned for Houston's east downtown, along one of the area's most popular streets, Saint Emanuel. This week STOA Architects shared renderings of the mixed-use Hotel RL, its new development at 1005 Saint Emanuel. Renderings show a building with two separate towers. According to STOA's president C.C. Lee there will be 280 condo units and 170 hotel rooms in total. Construction isn't due to begin until at least summer 2020 so STOA still has a few years until its time to break ground. "We want to be the gateway to the EaDo neighborhood," he said, noting that the large square and circle on its facade is a nod to Chinese coinage and by extension, prosperity. The Kim Hung Market occupied the site for years and will be leveled to make way for the 27-floor tower. But Lee says that doesn't mean the end for the market, which is no longer open to the public but serves as a grocery warehouse for suppliers. It will be incorporated into the first floor of the building. In the shared rendering there is a large Texas flag hanging in the middle of the facade but Lee said that once the building is completed sometime in 2023 it will change with the seasons. Decorations honoring holidays and special events like sports playoffs will be commemorated in that spot. The development will be just a handful of blocks from the George R. Brown Convention Center. Minute Maid Park, BBVA Compass Stadium. As of late the area has grown in popularity with attractions like the 8th Wonder Brewery, and Dallas nightlife transplants Rodeo Goat and Truck Yard bringing in visitors from all over the city. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/150-million-hotel-and-condo-tower-planned-for-12960091.php

From Swamplot December 2007: A big white house dating from 1913 at 3208 Austin near Elgin in Midtown will house Wheeler’s second new-restaurant-in-old-digs, named White House. It’s the former home of Trinity Foster Care. The new restaurant will serve Texas cuisine, but won’t open until later next year, after a kitchen is added to the back of the building. http://swamplot.com/hearsay-market-square-gastropub-rehab-and-more/2007-12-04/ From Houston Business Journal December 2007: Midtown White House The second site on Restaurant Group's menu is a large white house -- which will likely be named White House -- built in 1913 at 3208 Austin. The neoclassical residence originally owned by George and Sallie Horton exemplifies an architectural style popular throughout the South in the early 20th century. The Midtown property, most recently occupied by a foster-care organization, was purchased by a Restaurant Group affiliate in September from Advanced Education Services for an undisclosed amount. Miller of Camelot represented the buyer, and Alice Lougin of Keller Williams Realty Inc. represented the seller. The 5,000-square-foot White House will add another 800 square feet in the back for a new kitchen, and eventually will seat 160 to 170 patrons. Two chefs from the Houston area have been hired for the first two restaurants, but Wheeler won't disclose their names until they leave their current positions. Hearsay is slated to open in the second quarter of 2008, while White House will finish its prep work in the third quarter. ...Wheeler is as excited about the old buildings as he is about the food he plans to serve in them. He wants to save the properties and others like them, as a way of giving back to the community. "Let's quit tearing down beautiful buildings that can be saved," he says. "Let's spend a little more time and effort and money and put these restaurants in a building that's significant. "I love history. I should have been a history teacher," he says. ... Another restaurant, possibly to be named White House, will be located at 3208 Austin in a house built in 1913 for Sallie Horton, daughter of Edward Sewall, vice president of wholesale grocery company Carson, Sewall and Co. ...
