When complete, the large-scale Park Central revitalization effort will transform a once-defunct shopping area into the city’s premier destination to work and play. Now, the addition of a new, state-of-the-art hotel will help ensure that it’s also a top place to stay for city travelers.
The brand-new, dual-branded Home2 Suites/Tru by Hilton hotel from Dallas, Texas-based Fayth Hospitality Group will add 207 total guest rooms to the Park Central property, spanning five stories and covering a total of 105,000 square feet of space. Construction is set to begin in late 2020, and, once complete, it will add numerous features — including a new rooftop pool, mini-marketplace and other amenities — to the local landscape.
“This is a natural next step for the Park Central property, and we’re eager to add a new option for travelers who come to the area for work or leisure,” says Sharon Harper, chairman and CEO of Plaza Companies, the company spearheading the Park Central revitalization effort alongside Holualoa Companies. The new, dual-branded hotel will combine features and perks from both brands. Home2 Suites, a pet-friendly, extended-stay hotel, offers free breakfast, in-suite kitchens and other extended-stay perks. Tru by Hilton, meanwhile, offers interactive, semi-private workspaces, game rooms, multimedia areas and a 24/7 market where guests can grab snacks, coffee and other beverages and light bites.
The new Park Central includes 450,000 square feet of Class A creative office and retail space available for lease with the ability to accommodate tenants ranging from 3,500 square feet to more than 100,000 square feet in size. It features exclusive tenant patios, on-site restaurants and amenities, a stunning mid-century modern design, 15- to 25-foot ceilings, convenient bike path and light rail access and ample parking.
