this plus the re-opening of the Esquire would change the whole "dead", "tree growing out the wall" side of the RW.

Wow, I love it, I hope this gets off the ground! I wonder what the west side of the tower is going to look like though.

Aw man, not another hotel...

JK, a 24-story anything is welcome these days, especially in downtown.

I wonder if this is the W Hotel that has been rumored for San Antonio. It looks like a W to me.

OfCourse · #11 Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 2:40 AM**

Likes it.

I was thinking the same thing about the W. It'd be a fantastic centerpiece for the Hotel District.

I just wish he'd post the Grocery store history retrospective he hyped two months ago.

It can't be a W if its a boutique...

Well this is a nice suprise! Just when i thought things were settling down. Hope this one happens. 24 Floors doesnt happen too often for us SA Folks.

W is Starwood's boutique brand.

Wow, another thin looking hotel tower. Looks good, i'm not complaining.

LoneStarMike · #19 Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 10:31 AM**

I really like the base with all that glass. It looks very sleek and contemporary.
