OmShera Hotel Group recently filed a rezoning petition for a site at South Boulevard and South Caldwell streets, which sits on the edge of Dilworth, and documents filed with the city show OmShera is separately eyeing a site in South End on Hawkins Street for a project.

Kush Anandani, director at OmShera, said details such as number of rooms and hotel brand are still to be determined for both projects, but the intention is to build hotels on both sides, potentially with ground-floor retail space that's separate from the hotel.

"South End is just going to continue to boom, with density, the zoning converting to (transit-oriented development), increased height limits," Anandani said. "The city obviously has a plan and vision for that area, so we're following along with that."
