Plans are under way to open an Element hotel in Irving in October 2008.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: HOT) has inked a deal with Sava Holdings LTD to open the hotel.

The companies will break ground on the project, at Interstate 635 and Beltline Road, next week.

White Plains, N.Y.-based Starwood says the hotel will have 123 guestrooms designed for extended stay, with a complete kitchen.

The nature-inspired hotel will have modern touches, such as WiFi and an international pantry stocked with everything from Korean kimchi soup to Greek delicacies.

It will feature an outdoor fire pit and barbecue, where nightly gatherings will be held and will have about 1,600 square feet of meeting space and an integrated technology center and library.

Starwood's other hotel and leisure brands include St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, Westin, Four Points by Sheraton, W, Le Méridien and AloftSM, among others.

Sava Holdings is an Irving-based venture investment company.

I dont know if anyone agrees with me...but arnt you ready to see them get started on the Calatrava Bridge, Woodall Rodgers Park and the Dallas lag of the Trinity Project?[/QUOTE]

YES!

good for Irving.

So ya, i e-mailed the dallas city council telling them how sorry they were on delaying the Calatrava bridge and the Trinity river project.

There was 4 messages on my answer machine later from city secretaries wanting to talk to me.

I didn't curse them out or anything...i wonder what they wanted.

Austin55 · #**1485** Posted **Sep 3, 2007, 12:41 AM**

ive heard rumors of 2 25-35 story hotels near the cboys new stadium. I'll bet that gonna be a fun area to watch soon

toxteth o'grady · #**1486** Posted **Sep 3, 2007, 1:13 AM**

That area could use a little something. The big excitement is a Wal-Mart across the street from the stadium site.

Of course, they may want to think about parking garages. BIG ones...

Great news. I can't wait to see these two projects get going. BTW, I'm sure glad the forum is back up.

Urbanartistry · #**1492** Posted **Sep 14, 2007, 10:19 PM**

Has work on the Woodall Rogers Park deck really been confirmed to start in the next few months? I hadn't read about this anywhere. If so, that's incredible news!

just got back from a night at the Fairmont and partying at the W, the whole area, along with Uptown (we were at Lotus) is pretty cool......Houston needs to take note!!

toxteth o'grady · #**1498** Posted **Sep 24, 2007, 1:40 AM**

That area around Discovery Green in Houston is going to be impressive if all the projects proposed come to fruition.

Dallas sure does things right.............residential above and commercial on the bottom.......we down here in Dirty Houston need to take note of this concept!!! And fast!! I'm sick of all the apartments being built but no commercial!
