A new\u00a0upscale boutique hotel<\/a> is being planned for an East Seventh Street site a block north of one of the neighborhood\u2019s busiest nightlife stretches.<\/p>\n

The five-story AC Hotel by Marriott<\/a> between the Texas State Cemetery and Huston-Tillotson University would total about 86,800 square feet, according to a filing<\/a> with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The East Side project has an estimated construction cost of $34 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited by it, it\u2019s been in the planning stages for a while now,\u201d said Biren Patel of BCP-ESK Concho LLC, the development group behind the project.<\/p>\n

Patel said developers anticipate submitting permitting plans to the city in September.<\/p>\n

The East Seventh Street property would become the third AC-branded hotel in Austin. Marriott currently operates the AC Hotel Austin-University at 1901 San Antonio St. near the University of Texas and the AC Hotel Austin Hill Country at 7415 Southwest Parkway.<\/p>\n

The project would add another hotel to the rapidly developing East Seventh Street corridor, within walking distance of the many bars, restaurants and music venues clustered along East Sixth Street.<\/p>\n

It also comes just months after two prominent downtown hotels<\/a> changed hands through foreclosure. In June, the Hyatt Centric Congress Avenue Austin and the Line Austin were sold to their lenders at a foreclosure auction after defaults tied to more than $250 million in loans.<\/p>\n

The state filing lists construction as beginning at the end of 2026, with completion scheduled for the end of 2030. Austin-based Merriman Pitt\/Anderson Inc. is listed as the project\u2019s design firm.<\/p>\n

Details in state regulatory filings, including construction costs and timelines, are preliminary and subject to change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new\u00a0upscale boutique hotel is being planned for an East Seventh Street site a block north of one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412590,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-412589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
