I still think it would be great to have REI here. Maybe a 2 story REI and a 2 story Crate & Barrel. And Fresh Market across the parking lot next to Yorktown.

How about REI with restaurants on the second floor with a W Hotel and some condos above.

Something like a Magnolia Theatre in the West Village would be pretty cool here. There is plenty of shopping and restaurants, but no real entertainment options. An artsy theater makes sense here just about as much as anywhere else. http://www.westvillagedallas.com/tenant/magnolia-theatre-bar/

I don't know if this is why you mentioned a hotel. But having the hospital across the street the hotel rooms could be much needed.

Not typically the types of rooms that you would expect at a W (or anything I would expect to be in Utica Square for that matter).

Guess what.. If you need to stay in a hotel by the hospital and you can afford to stay in whatever room. You are going to stay there. Maybe its a Hilton

I would expect that a true upscale brand would be in Utica Square. I've always been surprised there aren't hotels near the hospitals on Utica or in Utica Square. Or in Brookside for that matter.

Missed opportunity at 15th & Utica. Maybe Bumgarner’s land just south of the BA and the Philips 66 spot could work.

That's a perfect place for a hotel. Halfway between the two hospitals. The empty lot on the NW corner of 21st at Utica would work, too. Right by St. John's and Utica Sq.

Ok, probably getting ready to get shot down here. But are you/we looking for a boutique hotel, or a more mainstream hotel to cater to hospital traffic. A hotel, IMHO, can't be both. I do think there is need for a hotel to accommodate the hospitals, but it's not going to be a Hotel San Jose (Austin) or similar. I do think, like an earlier post, a really cool upscale boutique hotel would work near Brookside though.

Frankly the area needs both. The two hospitals need good mainstream hotels and Utica should always have had hotel(s). The Plaza in KC that Utica was modeled after has a bunch of them.

I’m rather surprised nothing has ever gone in where the old H & P building was on the NW corner of 21st & Utica especially since Walt is gone. I gather he was kind of a “rev limiter” on what his kids wanted to do at Utica Square and elsewhere.
