Hopefully the exterior will be all done by the Final Four Tournament next year.

I think that's entirely possible. The least they could do is give the impression they didn't completely fumble the ball on this whole damn development.

Too bad the Joske’s Tower isn’t blocking the shot…

That's a great example of a building that SHOULD have been approved but wasn't.

Looks like this is topped out now!

I hear the Final Four music festival is going to be over where the TOA parking is, between the Tower and ITC. Hopefully the curved elevation facing the park will at least be done when the camera pans over to downtown.

Getting glass.

JACKinBeantown · #52 Posted **Dec 4, 2024, 1:53 PM**

I'm looking forward to it getting it facade.

Great pics like always!

It took 202 days from start to end to complete Hilton Palacio del Rio, and there’s 95 days until April 5th (Final Four), and the structure is topped out…perhaps it would be done by then after all. That would be a Herculean feat of construction strength but well worth it, and if not the Final Four then definitely Fiesta. Those rooms facing Market and Alamo would be great to book to watch the parade as it turns onto Commerce from Alamo Plaza.

I usually take pictures on bright sunny days and we got a week of gloomy clouds. Will see I will look for breaks in the clouds.

This is turning out to be a beautiful building overall. Scale is probably right as its right next to the park... probably could have been 3-5 floors taller, but overall this works well for that spot. And I'm a sucker for a sexy curved building.

Found this on IG from a couple days ago
