TownePlace Suites at Trinity Bluff Progress

The TownPlace Suites at Trinity Bluff in Uptown has topped out and exterior wrap work is underway.  The hotel will feature 140 rooms, tucked into a lot at Elm & Belknap next to the Palisades townhomes and Lincoln Trinity Bluff apartments.  The hotel appears to basically be a suburban hotel turned 180 degrees from the street – this keeps the parking off the main pedestrian streets of the development, though it’s a little disappointing more won’t be done to create an engaging streetscape.  Considering the site’s location at the edge of the development and nestled up against a bridge, though, it shouldn’t do all that much to hurt the pedestrian experience of the neighborhood.

Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.
