I've got a little "inside information" that says there is one in the planning stages in Libertyville, IL. An Aloft will be near the intersection of Milwaukee (Rte 21) and townline road (Rte 60)....but you didn't hear it from me! :-)

Actually, this hotel, the St Regis Baha Mar, and the St Regis Bahia Beach have been assigned incorrect locations in Starwood's list. This address at S Pine Island Rd is for a marketing office rather than for the hotel. This hotel is already correctly on your list for Cable Beach, Bahamas, near Nassau.
The St Regis Baha Mar is at the same complex near Nassau.
The St Regis Bahia Beach is coming to Puerto Rico -- just a few miles away from the site of the former Westin Rio Mar.

Update: News regarding aloft Fells Point, Maryland, says that it is still planned. Looks more like 2011 rather than 2008, though.

When do reservations open for new properties & why does it say No SPG Participation?
There's no standard for when reservations open for a new property, but I would say that typical is about 2 months prior to opening. Across all Starwood hotel brands, I would say that it could range from a couple weeks to 5 months prior. But for aloft and element hotels (which are not large properties), I'm expecting reservations to open up no more than 3 months prior.
I expect that they will all participate in SPG. But once their hotel homepages begin to appear, most will probably start off saying "No SPG Participation." They'll probably announce the category around the same time that they start accepting reservations.
Of course, don't consider the currently published opening dates to be set in stone. They could move in either direction. Many already have.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting a proposed aloft near the new W at Allen Plaza.
"Post Properties is seeking $28.9 million for Post Park at 16 Allen Plaza, which will have 463 apartments and a 229-room Aloft Hotel. Aloft and W are Starwoods Hotels and Resorts brands."
An aloft and an element hotel are also proposed in Buckhead near the intersection of Piedmont and Peachtree Roads.
It has already been noted here on FT that the W Atlanta Perimeter Center is up for sale. The terms of the sale allow the buyer to continue operating it as a W or to leave the Starwood fold.

Printed News on W Hotel Boston
"According to the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), Starwood is building a W Hotel on the corner of Stuart and Tremont Streets, for an expected opening in 2009. The hotel is expected to have about 235 rooms and just over 120 condominium units. It will also house 12,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and spa space.
The site was originally approved in June of 2001, under the heading of the Loews Hotel Project. Due to the economic downturn soon after, the project never progressed."
-- Travel New England, "Starwood makes move with Boston Properties," January 2008, pp. 4
Personal note: Ground was broken in November, 2007. In December of 2008 they had excavated down about 40 feet. In January 2008 they have fenced off the area and construction crews seem ready to pour concrete.

Starwood's thelobby.com has an article today about the upcoming W New York-Downtown. Included is a link to a website for the property.

W Boston loaded on spg.com
The W Boston has appeared as a selection on spg.com since this time last week. It has a physical address: 100 Stuart Street, a non-Boston phone number: (202) 629-3587 and an opening date (estimated of course) of July 31, 2009. It's spg property number is 1787. ^ The same year the members of the Constitutional Convention authored the document.
Rumor has it that Otis & Ahearn, http://www.otisahearn.com/ will be marketing some of the residences, but I haven't heard anything official.

Sorry this is not a W, but really did not think it deserved its own thread but this was in the OrlandoSentinel this morning!
Hotel for business travelers to be built
A ground-blessing ceremony was scheduled for this past weekend for a four-star Westin hotel planned for the Lake Mary/Heathrow area. The hotel, which will cater to business travelers, will be built on International Parkway near State Road 46A. Westin plans to break ground at the site near the end of the second quarter, and said the 263-room hotel will be the only Westin in Central Florida. The Grand Bohemian in downtown Orlando dropped the Westin flag more than a year ago, opting to market itself under its own brand. The Westin brand is owned by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
The Westin Imagine is opening in June so this story is not totally correct.

While this might not be breaking news, I would recommend starting a new thread if folks want to share news regarding future properties outside of the topic of this particular thread. There are way too many other new properties to manage them all in this thread. Here's the approximate count of all future properties that I currently have in my database by brand:
68 Sheraton
22 St Regis
76 Westin
22 Element
14 Luxury Collection
19 Le Meridien
60 Four Points
97 Aloft
46 W Hotels
Nearly all of these (including The Westin Lake Mary, North Orlando scheduled for Sept 2009 but likely to be delayed, IMO) are in my GE mapping files.
I have considered starting a thread similar to this one for broad discussion of upcoming properties within other brands. Perhaps with a list of upcoming St Regis properties, for example?
christianj has generously contributed time and effort to maintain the list at the start of this thread for W, aloft, and element. PM me (and/or the mods) if someone else would like to get involved in maintaining a similar list for another brand. I'd be willing to help get someone started. (But a wiki would be a better approach, IMO.)

Starwood Development people are presently looking at a deal in New Haven near Yale. It would be a condo-hotel project
