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.
