If wonder if either will happen?
The John Street phase 2 is going to need JR Smart to find a hotel operator, and over the last few years they seem to just sell on plots earmarked for anything other than offices. I'd love to know what is going on because it's a lovely looking building and I hope it happens, but it's a real step up for them. I can imagine they'll be happy to speculatively build the office part as they always do, just curious if anyone is interested in the hotel. It's a big building for them.
For the Qater project, it's been quiet for ages and other than the above mentioned JR Smart plot and Central Quay I don't know where else is realistic. Rightacres have gone very quiet on the hotel earmarked for Central Quay and are working with Celtic Manor on the Westgate. Do the Qataris have any other hotel investments, some hotels in London I think?
Maybe the Howells redevelopment on St. Mary's street? Is there anywhere else realistic?
