I'm pretty sure they had already filed a land development permit for this version so there must be new design for the project.
Where are you getting this "new" info from? That is the EXACT same rendering/design from 2018. So nothing new in that. Are you saying there is a new filing or movement related to this "old" proposal?
EDIT: I found this article that seems to indicate there was a (re)filling.
Is the Hotel happening? I've heard about it a few times, but haven't been over there in a while.
This proposal has changed and the developer recently filed new permits for the project. It was originally proposed to be a SpringHill Suites and Tapestry dual hotel. The latest proposal is for two Hilton brands - Tapestry and Tempo dual hotel. They hope to break ground early next year.
