Another permit has been filed that appears it could be related to "Project H". Permit 20180221880 has been filed with the Orange County Comptroller for the General Improvement of "1005W Building - Foundation, Steel Structure, Core & Shell".
The location for the construction is on Cypress Drive, which is the backstage road above S. Studio Drive in the "Project H" permits (shown below). While this location does not appear to line-up directly with the construction site defined in the "Project H" permits; its proximity could be the "transition" or related to how Guests will privately access Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

Based on the proximity of the 9.5 acre project site just south of the future Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land, it is anticipated that "Project H" is the yet-to-be-named Star Wars Hotel.
