   @ Leo
   Great picture, thanks for the update!

   Oh that is good to see! Thanks for sharing.

   Leo , I thought that this hotel would have a tenth floor restaurant !

4. 

   I read that the previous plan of 11 stories were reduced to 9 but still would have that rooftop restaurant.

   Thanks Leo ! Sure wish for the 11 stories though!

   From the most recent story with a rendering on this blog, http://dtraleigh.com/2014/08/updated-renderings-plans-new-convention-center-hotel/ there is only 9 stories. I’ve seen other renderings that are identical (but different angles) with the same 9 stories. The original 11 story building looked terrible, so while more floors would be nice, the final product is way better. There is supposed to be a rooftop bar (or restaurant?) on the top, so that’s pretty cool for Raleigh.

   From Triangle Business Journal: The new plans show that the hotel will have a 5,066-square-foot restaurant space at street level, as well as an additional 1,389 square feet of retail space on the corner. It will also have a terrace for guests on the second floor and a bar and terrace are on the top floor of the hotel.

   Looking into this more with Dwight, let’s start a timeline:

   8-14-14: TBJ article says 9 stories
   9-30-14: SP-59-14 submitted showing a 9-story hotel
   1-13-15: SP-59-14 reviewed at planning commission shows a 10-story hotel.

   Dwight, great catch! If the added floor made it to the final design then the difference between the 9 and 10-story hotel is:

   – Increase from 116′ to 130′ in height
   – Increase from 154 to “166 dwelling units, 10 hotel units” (whatever that means)

   Thanks Leo ! Hope that the 10 story plan did make it to the final design !

    Right on Dwight!
    This project will be the next to complete in downtown, won’t it? Should be topped out in less than 5 weeks.
