The 16th and Wewatta Hotel / Office Complex is making quick progress. In our last update, we reported that the 12-story, 200-room hotel recently topped out along with the 5-story, 53,000 square foot office building.

Once a building tops out, the facade is usually quick to follow. Currently, the dark brick facade is half way up and contrasts with its neighbor, The Platform. The second picture is where the hotel’s valet and drop-off is located; between the hotel and The Platform.

There were many concerns about this project enclosing the Commuter Rail canopy. Now that both buildings are topped out, we can clearly see that there is still a lot of open air around the station.

Here are two more photos of the project looking west; both from the street level and a higher perspective.

The facade on the office building has not started to go up but we will visit this project again when it begins. Stay tuned!
