To Be Managed by Hotel Equities
ATLANTA, GA - September 4, 2014 - Hotel Development Partners (HDP) announced the acquisition of a prime hotel site on Ashford Dunwoody Road near Perimeter Mall for the development of the 132-room Hampton Inn & Suites, which will be the latest urban prototype for this Hilton hotel brand.
The reuse of the 3.6 acre former parking field at the Sterling Pointe office complex will create a desirable urban setting for the hotel and 25,600 SF of restaurants and retail. Corner Bakery marks the first of two restaurants to be included in the project that provides a unique destination and experience for the Perimeter Center market.
Hotel Equities will manage the Hampton Inn & Suites Dunwoody/Perimeter Center. The project's initial construction phase will begin immediately.
"We will deliver a dominant hotel brand and highly marketable outparcels to Atlanta's most active market," said Allen O'Brien, CEO of Hotel Development Partners, LLC.
