Thank you! Sorry I'm new here, after years of lurking I finally decided to post.

Hopefully they light the crown at night.

^ That alone is reason to build it.

Can't wait to hear the public comments on this.

Commodore is up first.

500-key hotel on the top floors too!

One the worlds tallest hotel views essentially.

Grand Hyatt will be mixed use, so we can't compare it with the current tallest hotel, which is only 1169'. Instead we compare it with the highest hotel, the Rosewood Guangzhou, occupying the top floors of the 1739' Guangzhou Chow Tai Fook Finance Centre.

A couple months ago I found a very recent webpage listing the 7 or so highest hotels in the world, but I can't find it any more. I vaguely remember feeling disappointed that Grand Hyatt would not make the top 3. If Grand Hyatt is really 1600', not 1646', and the top ~170' is unoccupied, then it may not even be among the top 5 in the world.

I am not bashing this exciting building, just stating some facts. BTW the lit crown in rgarri4's model looks stunning.

Hopefully they give us a crown rendering, and keep an ear out for any height changes.

Now this is a modern crown done right.

No mention on height yet or precise details if height reduction or actual figure. Committee questions as of now.

chris08876 · #**759** Posted **Feb 2, 2021, 11:40 PM**

Question was asked on if the crown lighting, and they are saying they are working on that. Unknown.

The HEIGHT HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED.

He was saying the building shown (in the images) is slightly less than the real one (height)... could be larger.

Well, excellent job. I resized some just so I could get a closer look. This building only gets better and better if you ask me. Even if they just built the first level, it would be an amazing addition to the streetscape.
