According to permits filed with the city today by engineering firm UDG, a new boutique hotel concept with a ground-floor restaurant will soon take shape at 612 West Sixth Street. The permit is filed under the name Canopy by Hilton, the 12th hotel brand of Hilton Worldwide first launched in 2014.
Canopy is described as a lifestyle brand designed to appeal to millennial markets with the feel and service of a boutique hotel. The brand also plans to open a location in Dallas later this year, and in downtown San Antonio by 2018.

A five-story multifamily commercial building was in the works at the site, previously home to former restaurant Slate. Plans filed last year name Breckenridge Multifamily, a limited partnership associated with Greg Henry, founder of Austin development company Aspen Heights — primarily known for its student housing developments, but still dipping its toes into standard multifamily as of late.
This project appears to be dead in the water, with today’s new hotel site plan billed to Pecan Street Lodging GP, LLC, the principal of which is Richard S. Singleton. Singleton is also the director of Scenic Capital Advisors, which is a private equity firm with a portfolio of several Texas apartment complexes, a stake in Horseshoe Lounge, and the upcoming Whiskey Tango Foxtrot bar announced at 701 West Sixth Street.
An interesting detail of this new site plan is its description of the lot’s size: Though the 612 West Sixth Street address is only a quarter of an acre, the plan indicates that the project will take up a half-acre. To reach this size, the hotel would also need to build on the lot directly to the east, at 604 West Sixth Street — current ownership records don’t indicate Singleton’s involvement, but the property might have been acquired more recently than the latest update of the county’s ownership records. Only a few years ago, the 604 address was in play with a listing describing a potential loft-style office building. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Update: I contacted Singleton regarding the project, and though he didn’t have many details to reveal at this time, he confirmed that the hotel was in the “early design phase.” Once these designs are finalized, we’ll probably learn more about what’s in store for the site.
