The rear of the property fronts Waller Creek, where we will have a creekside pub. The structure will become a prominent feature on theAustin skyline.

Radisson Blu Gaslamp - San Diego, California

Principal Architect Randal Ehm designed planned to personally develop this 400-room luxury hotel project in San Diego’s Gaslamp District.  This 500-foot tower would have been built directly across Park Boulevard from the new Central Library, across K Street from the then-proposed Chargers Stadium.    Petco Park is two blocks west of the site.  The San Diego Trolley runs along Park Boulevard. The upper floors feature panoramic views of downtown, San Diego Bay, the Pacific Ocean and Tijuana, Mexico. The project was abandoned when the Chargers moved to Los Angeles.

Marriott Hotel Port Angeles - Port Angeles, Washington

Architect Randal Ehm designed this project for development with the City of Port Angeles, in response to its request for development of a waterfront hotel and convention center. The project features a four-story, 175-room full-service hotel with 10,000 square foot ballroom, 6.000 square feet of conference space, a full-service restaurant with lounge and an indoor pool. The existing adjacent pier will be expanded for boat and float plane moorage, taking advantage of the site's proximity to the Strait of Juan deFuca, the San Juan Islands, Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia. Mr. Ehm made history by facilitating the State’s first-ever exchange of aquatic tidelands in a land swap with Department of Natural Resources, enabling him to develop the new Harborside Park with frontage on both Port Angeles Harbor and the Valley Creek Estuary. He also helped change State law, by successfully lobbying the Shoreline Hearings Board to limit its jurisdiction to only those building elements falling within 200 feet of MHHW.

Radisson Blu at the Park - San Francisco, California

He incorporated a Tilted Kilt Pub, which he was to own outright, a Dave & Buster’s Restaurant and Sports Bar, an 8-screen theater, and other sports-related entertainment venues. The project was abandoned when the property was purchased out from under Mr. Ehm’s development partner.
