Harwood Int'l District: No.12 Harwood Hotel (20 ST)

[CTroyMathis]

Until today, I kept forgetting to take a picture of these signs at the edges of the surface lot adjacent to 2525 McKinnon.

Oh, and in the second photo, there is a tree up top the New Rolex Building.

Harwood is busy...have they issued an official announcement on this one?

That's the site of The Oliver, isn't it?

What is the "Seven" in that diagram?

Good work-- thanks Maconahey!

How tall is the lexi supposed to be?? Has there been any rumblings about that project?

Is the Lexi still even part of their plans? I don't see it on their site anymore.

If memory serves right, that was supposed to be a very tall tower, approx 40 story floors I think.

Oh this is the valet lot for St Anne, I wondered when that might get eaten up.

We knew this was coming eventually, but it looks like they're about to get started on No. XII at Moody St between Harwood and McKinnon. It's on page 96 of the CPC docket for this week: http://dallascityhall.com/government/me ... Docket.pdf

That'll be nice, but I'm still holding hope the hotel site closer to Pike Park and Katy Trail will be the special architecture putting the Harwood International exclamation point on skyline.

Interesting! Wasn't Harwood XII scheduled to be an office tower near the AAC? I guess the 2 obvious questions are 1) How tall of a tower are we looking at 2) What Hotel Flag will occupy the tower... Curious to see a rendering. I've generally always liked the Harwood designs.

I posted this back in December on the Harwood 10 thread...

Have there been any announcements about a 22st Hotel in the Harwood District, or does anyone familiar with the master plan see a slot for one? I heard from a reliable source that an announcement was coming soon. Just curious if it's something I missed.

I happened to be setting next to a guy at the bar who was up the chain at Harwood. Not sure if the 22 floors still holds true, but that is what I got from him at the time.

[Brettoj]

On the agenda it says 20 stories. Seeing the flag will be interesting.

[cowboyeagle05]

Well that's certainly a hotel corner then with the Ritz and Crescent Hotels right there. I imagine whatever hotel it is will be high-end business targeted flag of some sort.

Perhaps with Intercontinental leaving the Addison area, they are looking to open in Central Dallas? A Loews hotel returning to Dallas would be a good fit as well.

This is the St Annes parking lot? Looks like it.

According to an April state filing by its architect, HDF, the Harwood No. 12 building is anticipated to break ground in June. It’s described as a “20-story hotel comprised of two split levels for entry and lobby, four levels of above-ground parking, 14 levels of hotel and amenity space, and a roof level.”

The site is presently a surface parking lot at the southwest corner of McKinnon and Moody Streets. Its assigned project address is 2012 Moody Street. HDF estimates the tower will be completed by June 2020. The estimated project cost is $50 million, about $5 million more than was estimated for Harwood No. 10.

Still hoping for a fabulous pedestrian trail along N Harwood connecting the Katy to KWP. Given the measurable increase in values along the Katy and KWP, this is a neighborhood amenity project begging to be done.

You realize that's the rendering of the office tower already under construction right? Not the design of the hotel that would be at Mckinnon and Moody.

Whoops, sorry about that! I removed the rendering from my post.

St Regis? A big hole in Dallas in Starwood brand....

[R1070]

I recall St Regis stating they were still interested in Dallas after the Turtle Creek site fell through.

Luxury hotel on the way in Dallas' Uptown area near Crescent

[CTroyMathis]

Maybe it'll be a Sofitel or Swissôtel. . .

[Reignofcane]

Fence going up right now.

[Tnexster]

That was fast

[dallaz]

That was fast

Very fast indeed.

*waiting for rendering and hotel flag*

[R1070]

I hope it's something unique to the area.

Very little fanfare preceeded No.10 as well. Harwood obviously has sufficient access to capital these days, that promoting its projects is not necessary—perhaps it’s even a negative that alerts competitors to what is planned.

The rationale for a hotel seems pretty clear. Harwood is becoming its own submarket, and that submarket does not have a nice hotel. A hotel here can also serve VP, where the old Mandarin site has gone residential, eliminating another potential source of competition.

[cowboyeagle05]

Also if they have the zoning in place already and a flag signed on the dotted line then they don't need to release renderings unless the PR machine decides its something they need to dance out there in front of the public. I am sure execs from many of their tenants have seen or heard exactly whats going in. If you are a tenant whose lease is up in the next five years Harwood is taking you to dinner at Saint Ann and telling you about all the wonderful things they have planned and are breaking ground on soon. I imagine Harwood is competing with Legacy in some ways so they have to keep a momentum to keep tenants happier.

[CTroyMathis]

I also would not be too terribly surprised if the hotel is their own "brand" folded into their existing wing, the Harwood Hospitality Group.

[R1070]

They've already dug up the asphalt on this lot. It's moving along quickly. I'm still wondering if it will in fact be 22 stories.

More digging going on at this site.

Still no published design?
