GlobeSt.com UPDATE: Watermark Hotel Project Will Continue

SAN ANTONIO-The investigation continues into a collapsed wall that injured a worker and pedestrian. As a result, the developer will raze a second wall facing the San Antonio River. Despite the setback, the $25-million project will proceed.

SAN ANTONIO-Despite the collapse of a four-story brick wall, the Watermark Hotel will be built along San Antonio’s River Walk and it will still look like a historic building.The collapsed wall on the south side of the 1910 building could have dashed that vision, but the developer said Thursday that the 99-room luxury hotel will re-create and respect the historic design.

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.
