The Pearl Brewery opened in the last 1800s and ceased beer production in 2001.

Hotel Emma is being called the heart of Pearl. The 146-room hotel is being built inside the former brewery complex and, once completed, will include a bar, restaurant, market and library.

Though the hotel's designers, Roman and Williams, will incorporate the history of the brewery into the hotel, the feel will be a combination of the building's industrial grit and a warm South Texas aesthetic, planners say.

Hotel Emma is set to open in the spring of 2015. However, Silver Ventures, Pearl's developers, aren't done building out projects at the former industrial space. We have created a slideshow of several of the renderings and photographs of projects that will fill out the rest of Pearl's campus.

The slideshow coincides with the San Antonio Business Journal's cover story, "The Heart of Pearl to Beat Again," which appears in the Friday, Dec. 5 issue.
