810 Houston This project will add another full-service hotel to downtown Fort Worth's growing lineup and support larger events.

FORT WORTH—One of downtown Fort Worth's most iconic buildings is getting a new owner and a new purpose in the community while still preserving its historic charm. The W.T. Waggoner Building at 810 Houston St. is set to become the new Sandman Signature Hotel–the second hotel of its kind in the United States.

Sandman Signature is owned by Canada-based Northland Properties. This project will add another full-service hotel to downtown Fort Worth's growing lineup, which will help support larger events at the city's major event venues like the Fort Worth Convention Center. Furthermore, the move aligns with the city's Economic Development Strategic Plan, which calls for accelerating downtown Fort Worth's growth into one of the state's premier mixed-use business districts.
