Actually pretty smart to push back the start so that the project finishes up around the time the road work is wrapping up.
Construction has been pushed back multiple times.3rd String Kicker said:
A new report on the riverfront, as of Sept. 9. Now has a start date of Feb. 2020.

If I understand correctly, the I35 project will take 4 years. Oh joy! One would think if the Riverfront project starts as early as next February it would be finished well before 2023. But..........then........who knows?Old300Bear said:

They seem to focus more on existing buildings and just redoing them and going from there as opposed to starting from scratch.hodedofome said:
Not sure why Magnolia doesn't do something on the riverfront. If anyone can draw a crowd to a development it would be them.

Took a few RE classes with dyson. I liked him. If he's five or six years out of teaching perhaps he just has a lot of money and time to spend. Why not try.
That said, the location is certainly fringe. Yet if someone had told me BU was going to build a stadium on the other side of the brazos 10 years ago I would have said the same thing.
Waco could use some Class A+ hotel space, particularly if they continue developing the north side of the campus.
Is the demand there? Certainly they would run some fairly detailed market feasibility studies to find out. Dyson is no slouch.
Hope it works better than expected and Waco continues to grow.
reeks of someone spending their own dime to get a project in front of people and hope it gets funded by other people's $$PTGHUNTER said:
They are advertising all over the Baylor sporting events. If they are having to pay for this ad time it seems like they should spend some of this money on getting started.
All based on the nostalgia of the Grant Teaff name and his ability to influence people with some investment money.trey3216 said:reeks of someone spending their own dime to get a project in front of people and hope it gets funded by other people's $$PTGHUNTER said:

A little birdie told me that we are about to see the Grant Hotel going vertical in Aug-Sep if there aren't many more rain delays. I don't want to divulge exactly who told me this, but someone who is closely working on the project.

I wish them all the luck in the world. The hotel/motel business is in shambles across the US right now. Lots of bankruptcies coming. In commercial RE in general and in retail/hotel type properties in particular. Regardless of COVID therapeutics or a vaccine. Too much red ink to recover. Good news is there will shortly be (end of 2020) many opportunities nationwide for the prudent investor with cash.UBBY said:

Needs to include a bar.
With the State budget swinging from a multi billion dollar surplus to a 5 billion dollar deficit, legislators may have to bite their tongues and pass a gambling bill in upcoming sessions. That may be what's planned for the Trinity River in the Metroplex. With Baylor's strong Baptist lobby here in River City...Where will our casino(s) be built? Just food for thoughtMichibear said:Tiny Elvis said:

You think that's bad? Wait until you see what they have planned for the Trinity River near TCU!
