Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt Regency Convention Hotel
I watched both segments, from the PZE and the Council. Dan Coffey & others did get up and speak against it, accusing them of trying to bypass the will of the votes & petitioners. Basically PZE completely shot down those accusations. Councilman Shields really dug into the applicants for a more definitive series of dates. I suspected that was mainly to counter the arguments by Coffey & others. Basically she asked when we could see the final financing completed and a list of financials to show the public. As well as when they should expect to break ground. I think they said August or September for breaking ground and late July to August for the financing to be completed.hartliss wrote:The latest: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/ar ... 68874.htmlHighlander wrote:What was the result?

Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt Regency Convention Hotel
Could this affect the design? The Loews in chicago is pretty nicely designed as are Loews in general.

I read that as "Lowes" at first. I thought, damn, that devolved quickly!

Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt Regency Convention Hotel
No change in design. Logo on building changed and that's it.

This may be good for KC because Hyatt still wants to be back in downtown KC so they may do their own separate project from the convention center now.

Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt Regency Convention Hotel
The cladding is different. The Hyatt pics have more non glass...the loews rendering is all glass.

Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt Regency Convention Hotel
Loews is an incredible win for KC if this hotel is ever built. They are a step above Hyatt in many ways and having the Tisch family put a stake in the KC ground awesome.

Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt Regency Convention Hotel
This seems like a very positive development, especially them investing equity. I'm guessing the rest of the financing remains the same, including catering?

After staying at the Loews in Chicago, I'm pumped about this flag change. This is a win for KC

Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt Regency Convention Hotel
Not only is Loews a quality upgrade, Hyatt may still want to be in downtown KC, which may spawn another project even if smaller.
