maybe a question for starwoodlurker --
i searched and searched and only saw a single reference to the conversion of Sheraton Colony Square to a W -- that being that it will open "late 2007." Do we know if they're closing for the renovations, and if so, when? And if they have a proposed re-opening date in 2007?
Also, when would they start taking reservations?

Still, I don't think you can make a reservation for this hotel past that date.
And if they have a proposed re-opening date in 2007?
Also, when would they start taking reservations?

That gives the official name of the aloft San Antonio at Legacy. It fails to mention the other aloft proposed in San Antonio on S Flores St.
Also not mentioned is the proposed aloft Austin and aloft Fort Worth.

An article for Hotel Asia Pacific gives an interesting overview of the process of siting and building aloft:
http://www.4hoteliers.com/4hots_fshw.php?mwi=2189
The downtown Dallas property will be aloft's first... loft! Connie Gore reporting for GlobeSt:
DALLAS-Hamilton Properties Corp. and SAVA Holdings Ltd., armed with a $68.5-million plan, will bookend the Dallas Convention Center with two hotels, totaling 447 rooms. One will be a boutique independent and the other flagged as an aloft.
The development partners will begin work in September to convert the Santa Fe IV warehouse into a 195-room aloft, believed to be the flag's first adaptive reuse in the nation. The eight-story structure, built in 1926 at 1033 Young St., will be the closest hotel to the convention center. The aloft project's cost will come in just under $40 million, Ted Hamilton, partner in the father-son local company, tells GlobeSt.com...
The Hamiltons plan to open the aloft in late 2008 or early 2009, allowing for a 16-month construction schedule... The Hamiltons and SAVA are buying a two-acre parking lot to provide space for the aloft, which is in the process of being cleared for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The warehouse's railroad tunnel, which is intact, will be retrofitted into 14,000 sf of exhibition space, a perk that Hamilton believes will win convention business. Likewise, the eclectic aloft brand is expected to win favor because the rooms aren't standard convention fare. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. of White Plains uses the flag to play off its "W," incorporating concrete and brick into designs. The Santa Fe IV already has all that. "The building is perfect for it," Ted Hamilton says. A ninth floor will be added to incorporate five penthouse suites, fitness center and rooftop pool into the project.

Following press release from *W confirms milestone of 50th development project for the aloft brand.
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/corporate/news.html
Have added "confirmed location" to the original post for all properties listed in the press release. Only new property that I did not have listed that is included in the release was Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Interesting news but I think the title of your post is somewhat misleading because the aloft and element will not be on the site that was to be used for the W LV.
Here's a link to the article:
http://www.lvrj.com/business/8181512.html
The 125 room extended stay Westin (which is the element brand) you mention will be in Summerlin according to the article.
There had been previous reports that the W LV project was either on hold or dead but this basically confirmes its death stating that the W project never materialized.

It will be very nice to have some non casino SPG properties in Las Vegas.
I do like the PH and to a lesser degree the Westin.but the non casino properties are just so much easier to deal with.

I suspect W LA sunset is delayed as it's not even showing up when I searched for LA on spg.com. But at least there's W Westwood as al alternative.
William - would you happen to know when W Fort Lauderdale opens for bookings? spg.com indicates a 1 FEB 2008 opening and as I'm in FLL then I'm really keen to stay there.

I guess someone should tell DMG about it first as well. They don't appear to know about it either and they have to build its database and load its rate plans before any booking can be done.
