Hyatt Place (12th and Jackson)

midtown charlie · Post by **midtown charlie** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 3:32 pm

Okay there was another thread titled 12 and Jackson but that was more about the old "Gregory" condo project. It is now completely changed. Here it is via the City Council Angenda

Very cool looking hotel. It is 6 stories with the first floor containing retail on 12th street. It is very nice looking and should blend in with the old market. Now this is what I call infill.

This is the link to the architect.

Very impressive.

The window use gives it a taller appearance. I like it alot!

Nice design. Notice the ground floor retail! And the looks do blend in nicely with Downtown Omaha.

That thing ROCKS!

It's a nice design! I'd have rather seen this same design as apartments or condos, but beggers can't be choosers!

This will definitely help the Qwest center's convention side.

Nice looking design. I'll take it.

It will be good to have a nice hotel in the heart of the OM. The ground level retail bay was an absolute must.

1202 Jackson.. is that the corner across the street from Ted & Wallys where there's a parking lot right now? Will anything be torn down? It doesn't seem like that corner lot is big enough, iirc.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 10:26 pm

It lists 2 1200 block buildings. I can't remember exactly what is there, but it is on the north side of Jackson starting at 12th street going westward. 13th St. T&W may stay there - which would be cool - the other buildings there house that funky art retailer and an iron works building? This would be facing the southern sun. Apparently this was not designated yet as CBD, that is what they want to begin with.

Yeah, initially, I believe the plan was to shoe horn a condo building into that parking space along 12th. Not the case with the Residence Inn.

1202 is the parking lot... 1210 is the American Machine Works building (which I won't mind seeing go)... which I assume includes the parking area on it's opposite side. This is going to a pretty substantial structure.

That is very VERY impressive looking!..

I tried to soften this up and came up with this:

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 11:06 pm

Thanks Mark.

You know, when the story of a hotel at this corner first broke, they said 120 rooms. The more I look at this... it looks like Embassy Suites. I wonder if this isn't going to be closer to 200+ rooms.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 11:15 pm

What is so cool about this development - besides the ground floor retail - 2 floors of underground parking to go with the on street parking, and detailed ash trees. I would have never imagined this project. Props to who is the brains behind this!

Post by **Omaha Cowboy** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 11:51 pm

It sure looks like a 200+ room hotel..If not, those rooms will probably be huge..

Picture update!

Unfortunately, this one doesn't look quite as nice though... hopefully the one on loopnet, while in color, is not the latest.

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Sat Sep 23, 2006 9:45 am

That one says Marriot on it...?

I actually like this one more than the other one. MAybe it's just that the picture is in color, but this one looks more like it fits in with the Old Market, while the other one looks more suburban.

Actually, this picture is weird, it has bricked up windows on the right side.

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Sat Sep 23, 2006 11:42 am

Residence Inn is a Marriott 'brand'.

As for the design, I don't think it looks NEARLY as nice as the black and white one.

OPlaya · Post by **OPlaya** » Sat Sep 23, 2006 12:43 pm

If it's a Residence Inn then it's gonna be an extended stay hotel with a full kitchen. The building looks nice no doubt.

Jackson St. is going to be awesome in the near future w/ this and Jlofts going up 2 blocks away from eachother.

Very Cool!

OmahaJaysCU · Post by **OmahaJaysCU** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 4:05 pm

That's great! Hopefully we can finally get some construction started on that site! It's been a couple years since the first project was announced!

Absolutely!!!

The design looks GREAT. With this and Jlofts I hope it starts a trend of Old Market infill!!!

They were potholing the site about 2 weeks ago. I think this will be going up fairly soon.

This is a great development for the Old Market..Anything this significant will bring extra pedestrian activity into the OM and downtown..Just what the DR ordered..

Very nice project!

Anyone who knows OKC can understand I just got a little depressed...

midtown charlie · Post by **midtown charlie** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:47 am

I also have to assume that Magee Moo's and Little Kings or is it a chinese place are gone as well? I think they are part of the parking lot area. I believe they front the parking lot and not Howard.

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 8:04 am

I believe they will still be there. They front a separate parking lot on 12th and Howard. This project is on the parking lot on the NW corner of 12th and Jackson and the building directly to the west of that.

midtown charlie · Post by **midtown charlie** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:10 am

I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. Bad that it will remain a wart for the time being. Good that is the possiblity of more good things to come. O! the possibilities.

omahahawk · Post by **omahahawk** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:48 pm

Anybody have a better idea yet which one of these renderings is most likely to get built? I like the first one.

adam186 · Post by **adam186** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:54 pm

^What? There is only one rendering. I think you might be confused by the different elevation renderings.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:57 pm

Jeff posted a second image of the site.

adam186 · Post by **adam186** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:00 pm

^Okay...it's the same building though, just a different angle.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:13 pm

I see now that Jeff changed his original post to another one he found somewhere. The original image was this one which does not have a drive up canopy entrance:

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:27 pm

Or here they are side by side:

Big E · Post by **Big E** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:49 pm

I like the second one much better, but I despise those drive-up canopy thingies. They're ugly and fly in the face of the whole pedestrian friendly concept they have going on the rest of the block.

-Big E

adam186 · Post by **adam186** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:55 pm

I saw both of them, I thought they were the same but from different sides. After further inspection, they are on the same site from the same angle. I'd be happy w/ either.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 1:57 pm

I would rather have the first rendition. I like what they did with the roof line.

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 3:11 pm

I'd rather have the first one too, as long as they don't use that crappy beige stuff you see so often in suburban-pseudo-urban developments.
