Getting back on topic here…am I tripping, or is that rooftop restaurant/bar facing Peace St/Publix?? If so, you’d think it’d be on the opposite end (literally the perfect location), facing Glenwood South/Smoky Hollow and the downtown skyline. That seems like such a wasted opportunity. I hope I’m wrong though.

Seems to be tons of permits issued today for the Home2 + Tru Hotel at 603 S Wilmington. Sure seems like construction is imminent for this one.

Ugly as sin, but that block is completely dead right now. This and the City Gateway-Salisbury Square developments are going to do a lot to expand DTR south.

LMAO! Wow what a building! I’m always happy for more hotels instead of emptiness, tho.

They ran a homeless camp off from the front steps that had previously been there over a year last week. I kinda thought demolition would been soon, it’s starting to make sense now.

How it ugly. It’s contemporary in my view.

Especially since the 500-room hotel RFP is now silent.

I actually don’t hate the design of this building for whatever reason. Really hope they execute on this proposed siding design, could be some nice art.

Hey, didn’t I just see this very same design on an 1952 apartment building in Ukraine?
Of course, this one has more existing windows… 
Well I hope the city get Salisbury square back to its ground breaking
Yeah do we know when the city will pay attention to that. I don’t agree with affordable housing in those buildings.
So just confirming…this is 3-4 parking levels and then 7 floors of hotel? So both hotels start at the same level. I’ve always been used to one being below the other. Agreed on the parking siding design. That would be cool. Just wish there was some level of street presence.
4 Parking, 1 common or event area then 7 levels of hotel, so 13 total including the penthouse.
Do these images on page 12 imply the parking pedestal will get some woven or fabric screening?

If the shoe fits, There by a track not a lot of space.
To a certain extent, this sort of thing still happens in major cities.

From the posting :
“The exterior skin brings vibrant color, playful pattering, and public art opportunities at the street level”
Whatever that means
