On August 15, 2007, the Kessler group closed on the purchase of the land at the northwest corner of 2nd St and 2nd Ave N.

In order to start construction on the hotel sooner, Kessler has reduced the number of condominiums above the hotel from 50 down to 22 – thus reducing the height of the building from 32 stories to 26 stories.

Though redrawing the plans will delay the start of construction, completion is still scheduled for Fall 2009.
