Investigations have begun to determine the cause of the collapse. And, as a result of that collapse, a similar wall on the building's other side, which faces the San Antonio River, will be razed.

"The project is going forward," a contact with the hotel's developer, La Mansion Ltd. But work won't resume until on-site investigations are completed and the site is cleaned up. "Hopefully as soon as possible," the contact says. "Once they take down the other wall and clean everything up they can get back moving along." The opening date for the $25-million project was to have been November 2003.

Lyda Builders, the project's San Antonio-based contractor, is looking into the collapse as is OSHA, which had representatives on the scene Thursday. Two people injured by the collapse were listed in stable condition Thursday at San Antonio hospitals. A construction worker was admitted to Brooke Army Medical Center and a pedestrian to University Hospital. For previous story, click here
