IMO it was the better looking of the two structures pre-conversion. The document is worth reading if you're interested in development & design history and context like I am.

That said, I've been wondering if Quinlan will sell it to DeBartolo to redevelop into apartments like he did with this tower and, more recently, Three Westlake Park in the Energy Corridor.
Would be great if that happened.

I've asked previously, but are there any updates on the old hotel that looks bombed out (to the right of these buildings)?
