A taller JW Marriott?

Developers plan to unveil a significantly updated set of plans this afternoon for a JW Marriott convention hotel across the street from Victory Field. For one, the 1,000-room hotel will be taller than the 22 stories originally proposed, said Jeremy Stephenson, the director of development for REI Investments. He wouldn’t say how much taller. “I think what you’ll see the next time is much improved, from a functionality as well as a look standpoint,” he said.
