Another project in Durham that almost certainly will not be complete by its estimated 2019 date. This hotel is interesting though. It seems to indicate the expansion of the downtown area, southward. I have also heard rumors of redevelopment happening in the shopping mall just east of this site.

Durham certainly needs more hotel rooms (even with so many rooms opening in the past few years). It will be interesting to watch this project and more importantly, the surrounding area develop. Currently, a few old, worn-down office buildings exist on the site and will be torn down for the construction.
