Laredo, Texas - Laredo business developer Bill Collier, unveiled initial plans for the renovation of the Rio Grande Plaza Hotel into a HotelCondominium. The HotelCondo will be re-developed beyond its original prominence as the center of attraction in Laredo. The Rio Grande Plaza Hotel, formerly the Hilton Hotel and considered a Laredo Landmark, will soon undergo major renovations to keep in step with the citys redevelopment plans of the entire downtown area which include building a major convention and trade center, and renovating the old Riverdrive Mall.We are excited about our plans because they call for a major upgrade of one of Laredos Crown Jewels, stated Mr. Collier, We will be investing multi-million dollars not just to renovate ; but also develop the Rio Grande Plaza hotel property into a Four Star hotel condo property. In its prime, the hotel was considered the place to stay because of the many amenities it offered such as the great cuisine, personal service, luxurious rooms and spectacular views of the Rio Grande and Los dos Laredos that is unparalleled in the city. Its location also afforded guests the convenience of crossing over to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and offered easy access to shopping, entertainment, cultural events and historical sights.Added Collier, While we applaud the Beverly Hills, California group and Chicago Horizon Group for their commitment to re-develop the River Drive Mall Property, we in-turn will be making a considerable investment in renovation dollars to re-develop the hotel - condo. We have been patiently waiting on the re-development and re-vitalization of the downtown and riverfront area. According to Collier, discussions have been underway with an architectural firm who are working on plans for the redevelopment of the Rio Grande Plaza Hotel - Condo. Coupled with his vision, those plans call for further disclosure of an actual construction timeline so that future business travelers, tourists and visitors can begin to once again enjoy the beautiful hotel - condo and its proximity to Mexico.The Rio Grande Plaza Hotel is not the first development venture for Bill Collier. Originally from the West Texas area, he has been involved in developing and operating motel and condo properties in Texas and surrounding states. He has been part of the South Texas community for over 15 years and has owned the Rio Grande Plaza Hotel since 1998. He has secured a full service marketing communications firm with offices in Laredo and San Antonio. Aggressive marketing details for the hotel - condo property will soon be disclosed.Laredo city records indicate that the original hotel structure was built over 30 years ago and hosted many celebrities and officials as their guests. Some of those guests included Actor, Kirk Douglas ; the family of Pancho Villa ; Mexican singer, Juan Gabriel ; Latin Pop Group, Menudo ; International singer, El Puma Jose Luis Rodriguez ; Tejano Artist, Emilio Navaira, former Spurs Basketball Star, Avery Johnson and many others that also include wrestling sensation, Stone Cold Steve Austin.Additional information on the Rio Grande Plaza Hotel, its services or upcoming events, can be obtained by logging onto to www.venturastreet.com.
