Not sure when they'll break ground, but it should be open by January 2017.

There are two different timelines for the Aloft. As in other Starwood projects, it seems they allow much more time. This news release says early 2016... That seems like a more reasonable timeline to me. I hope!

The press release sounds a little over the top. Self aggrandizement always makes me suspicious.

I'm just glad it's not another burger/sandwich place. We have those in spades.

I agree with you there. I'd like to see more seafood restaurants and a French restaurant in the Vista/Main Street.

Self-aggrandizement. Good word...

I'd love some really good seafood restaurants. Sometimes I wish Columbia was a coastal city, but If there was an abundance of seafood restaurants (fresh seafood shipped from the SC coast), It'd mostly fulfill that wish. We'll see.
