Kelly Wearstler, one of the most highly lauded interior designers in the world, will handle the interiors of the new Austin Proper Hotel — a distinct new hospitality brand that will be part of the redevelopment of the Green Water Treatment Plant downtown.

Adam Nims, principal of Trammell Crow in Austin, confirmed that California development and real estate company The Kor Group will build the 35-story hotel — which will include private residences — in an exclusive interview with the Austin Business Journal.

Austin Proper Hotel is in schematic design, the developers said. Construction is projected to begin late this year.

In addition to the 250 rooms, there will be 120 condominiums for sale. The size and price range have yet to be determined. Right now, Green said, a list of interested buyers is being compiled.

The hotel will have a 12,000-square-foot ballroom, retail spaces, a restaurant, a spa and other amenities.
