Exclusive: Dutch developer to break ground on 195-room Union Square hotel

Another San Francisco hotel is breaking ground with the construction of a 195-room Union Square development.
Amsterdam-based citizenM will begin work Thursday on its 12-story property at 72 Ellis St., the operator's first of three proposed developments in California.
The hotel should be delivered sometime in the first quarter of 2021. The developer is also working on another hotel in SoMa at 816 Folsom St . . . .
In addition to its newness factor, the citizenM Union Square will include a public rooftop space, high-tech amenities and standard features such as a fitness center, meeting rooms and up to 6,100 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Lee said the retail space was designed to accommodate soft goods or food and beverage uses . . . .
"We don’t want to be just another building. We want to become part of the neighborhood’s fabric while showing San Francisco’s visitors a different side of the city," said Chadha . . . .
For citizenM, that will mean rooms with wall-to-wall mattresses, a library of on-demand movies and an iPad that controls everything from the blinds and television to lights. The hotel, which was designed by Gensler, is being built by Webcor . . . .
“Our site selection process is fairly simple," he said. The company finds "prime sites (that) allow our guests to not only walk to destinations such as the Moscone Center, but just as easily the Orpheum theater or the American Conservatory Theater. We hope to integrate ourselves into the neighborhood, and through jobs, tax revenue and the arts, offer back as much as we take in from this incredible city.”
