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.
