Springwoods Village's third hotel flag revealed
Quote:
A 337-room Marriott hotel will rise in Springwoods Village in late 2018, according to a release from Dallas-based Woodbine Development Corp. The hotel broke ground on March 29, per the release, and is expected to open in November 2018.
It'll be branded as a Marriott CityPlace, as it will open in the eastern end of CityPlace, a 60-acre mixed-use district within Springwoods Village. An exact street address wasn't provided.
“This Marriott will not only grow the area’s room count, it will also diversify the mix of accommodations and event space available here, allowing this thriving community to better serve business and leisure travelers,” said King Scovell, Woodbine's managing partner and chief development officer, in the release.
Woodbine is developing the hotel in partnership with CDC Houston and USAA Real Estate Co., per the release. Woodbine is also the hotel's asset manager. San Francisco-based Gensler designed the hotel, and Austin Commercial is the general contractor. Financials of the deal weren't disclosed.
Upon its completion, the hotel will stand at 10 stories and include 33,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor multipurpose space, which includes a grand ballroom, a smaller ballroom, five meeting rooms, a pool bar event space, a boardroom and an outdoor event space, per the release. It'll be the area's first full-service hotel.
The hotel's design will be inspired in-part by the area's natural assets – its nature trails, creeks and the surrounding forest. Designers are seeking LEED certification, the release states.
