I got the height for that building after it was completed. It's 128 feet tall. I would guess the hotel tower is now around 170 feet tall or so.

This page shows the original rendering for it.

I wrote this, this morning to add to the list. It is approved, and I found the height on emporis. But I didn't add it because I am not sure if it is still alive. Do you think I should add it? Or what changes I should make to it before adding it? I've very unfamiliar with the UC plans.
  1. East Avenue Andaz Hotel 182 17 ------- UT -----

Edit: obvously I would need to fix the spacing and look and all that before adding it. lol. But for info would I need to change anything you think? I was going to add it to the "Approved Buildings" part of the list.

Could what y'all are talking about be the Quarters at Bandera House?
