Well, with the recent revelation that it will be 9 stories instead of 11, it may not peek up over the parking garage and be visible from the “money shot” anymore …. here’s hoping -_-
Um… a 9 story hotel will definitely peek up above a 5 story parking garage. I think the Marriott is 17 floors, so yea if the Residence Inn is a bit more than half that height, then it will be visible for sure.
You’re right – looking at renderings of the previously planned 11 story hotel, it peeked up over the parking garage quite a bit, so the new 9-story plan will show up in the money shot, just not quite as much. At least it won’t be as ugly!

Thanks Matt. Your photos are always excellent. I see Charter Square slowly rising on the skyline.
