Can you guess where this project is located and what it will be when complete?

Ahhh, I bet that is exactly where/what it is.  There should be an architect's firm to the left of the picture.

New Holiday Inn on Wells?

Julian just nailed it.  The first building is a Courtyard By Marriott, while the second is a new Holiday Inn.  The site is located on Wells Road, just east of the CSX railroad crossing.

You'd be surprised at how much hotel space is at a premium in this city, in spite of the apparent glut of hotels and their chains.  Sleeper hits like the upcoming FSU-Alabama game (or whatever the heck it is on 9/29), the Gator Bowl, the Fla-Ga game, etc, gobble up hotel availability like no other.  I'm hosting a dance workshop that same weekend, and it was murder trying to find hotel accommodations for the 'mere' 200 attendees.

Based on my admittedly limited exposure to the subject, I say hear hear!  We can use all we can get!

Oh! Oh! I Know!

It's a new TOD being built for the BRT system in Jacksonville! What they DIDN'T SAY was that 99.44/100th % of it is offices for JTA right?

If it is a hotel, thank goodness.  I recently planned a week long stay for my parents and finding a nice but reasonable hotel is almost impossible in this town.  6 weeks out, either everything was booked, bad area of town, or way over priced.  The most amazing thing is that nothing is going on in town that week.

GatorDone, just for giggles, what week is the parents stay. By the way, welcome to the board.
