IRVING, Texas—An affiliate of Huntington Hotel Group purchased 3.21 acres of land near San Jose Airport and will break ground next month on two new Marriott-branded hotels that will operate within a single building. Huntington Hotel Group along with affiliate San Jose HHG Hotel Development LP will develop a 175-room Residence Inn and a 146-room SpringHill Suites.
The extended-stay and select-service Residence Inn by Marriott and the SpringHill Suites by Marriott will be enclosed in one seven-story building with guestrooms on levels two through seven. The hotels will share a pool, health club, gift shop, three-story parking garage, as well as back-of-house areas.
“We recognized the need for additional extended stay lodging in the area due to the success of Silicon Valley technology companies and new/expanding companies driving employment growth,” states Kevin Keefer, principal of Huntington Hotel Group. “We were pleased to hear about several state-of-the-art corporate headquarters being developed in the surrounding area.”
Barry Swenson Builder has been selected for construction of this project. The firm has been a partner in the growth of Silicon Valley since 1961. “Our long standing history building well-located branded hotels make us a perfect fit to build the duel-branded Marriott at Skyport and North First. Working in tandem for the past year and completing the working drawings, we are ready for this large construction project to break ground in May,” according to Michael Black, senior development manager at Barry Swenson Builder. “This deal is exciting for all parties involved—Huntington Hotel, Barry Swenson Builder—and the surrounding community.”
