Developer eyes hotel tower for Uptown site near Maple Avenue

Alamo Manhattan Corp. proposes to build a hotel - not more apartments - on a half-block site off Maple Avenue near Turtle Creek.

The 19-story, 220-room hotel would sit on a site now occupied mostly by a condominium complex.

"It's a great opportunity for a full-service hotel," said Alamo Manhattan CEO Matt Segrest.

"Everybody loves Uptown and there is a demand for this hotel.

"We are looking for something different with this project."

He said the hotel would be created using Marriott's new luxury modern design program.

WDG Architecture designed the brick and glass building, which will include a ground floor restaurant and about 12,500 square feet of meeting space.

"Our sweet spot is the professional business traveller," Segrest said. "One thing Uptown is lacking is good meeting space - the demand is huge."

To build the hotel Alamo Manhattan must obtain increased development density from the city. Segrest said the firm is starting to meet with neighborhood groups and city planners about the project.

If everything goes as planned, construction would start in 2018 with an almost 2-year building period.

Dallas Towers:

Oak Lawn Committee President Brenda Marks informed Towers that the OLC was able to get Alamo Manhattan to move the parking underground.

There will be on-site pedestrian amenities that will include wider sidewalks, tables, benches, planters, trees, “and outdoor meeting space to encourage street engagement within this urban environment.”

Alamo Manhattan has estimated the project will begin in 2018 and take two years to complete.

It's shorter because the parking was moved underground?
