Project description: Crews broke ground in June for O'Reilly Hospitality Management LLC's convention center addition to the DoubleTree by Hilton at the corner of Glenstone Avenue and Kearney Street. Hotel officials say it will be able to accommodate up to 500 people and bring the DoubleTree to 20,000 square feet of meeting space. The convention center is built on the western parking lot, and a new parking garage was erected between the DoubleTree and the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott that O'Reilly Hospitality Management opened in February.
