That is a really nice rendering. Love that it is tall and thin. Good job!

Well it was a year ago today the crane was erected to build the Westin. Construction has been slow as it has been with other downtown projects. But we should finally see construction on the hotel itself above the deck begin early this year. It has been stated that construction won't begin until the deck is complete.

I thought I read somewhere that the guy who owns the place next door or something is suing again. Hopefully, its resolved!

Yeah. Apparently when the actual construction of the parking deck went up, they did not allow the agreed upon width for that back alley.

My question is why it took for the deck itself to top out and be nearly finished before this became an issue. You'd think from the instant concrete went up that there was a problem.

Future Union Square Apartments in downtown Greensboro at Gate City Blvd and South Elm Street.

Here is a rendering of the planned Union Square Apartments next to the Union Square university campus and future downtown Lidl grocery store. A 250 space parking deck will be built behind the complex which also will border the southern leg of the downtown greenway

Dang, very generic looking, wish they could of come up with something more creative looking. Maybe it's just the side of the building you see in the picture. But to me this has no wow factor or a welcomeing vibe...

I'm not gonna lie....it could be a typical suburban hotel with the design. Don't know developers Don't have more imagination when it comes to downtown Greensboro projects

Yes @gsoboi78 looks like it should have a Hampton Inn sign slapped on it!! City View was the first major apt complex downtown and it was built with character! The colors and the green accents! I really do wonder how all this new competition is going to affect City view... The place is starting to show it's age but it does at least have charm still!!!

The city has utterly failed to do anything note-worthy with the South Elm redevelopment so this is just par for the course unfortunately.

On the bright side, though, I'd say this probably has about as high a chance of being built as the other 46 proposals we've seen over the last 18 years.

I think this is better than just the regular Iidl they planned but not as nice as the one rendered in 2017
