A six-story Hilton Garden Inn has been proposed in Homestead.
Homestead Hospitality, an affiliate of Greensboro, North Carolina-based CN Hotels, wants to build a 130-room hotel at 2601 N.E. 9th Court, which is on the west side of Florida’s Turnpike near the Southwest 312th Street exit. According to an application with the city, Homestead Hospitality has the 2.6-acre site under contract from DDR Homestead, a subsidiary of Ohio-based DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR), the owner of the neighboring Homestead Pavilion shopping center.
Holland & Knight attorney Tracy Slavens, who represents Homestead Hospitality, said the city’s Planning and Zoning Board approved the application July 12 and it’s scheduled for a City Council vote June 26.
The application estimates the cost of developing the Hilton Garden Inn at $9 million, with a timeline of 14 months.
Designed by DLW Architects, the hotel would total 76,632 square feet with two meeting rooms, a pool, a buffet and dining area, a lounge, a bar, a fitness center and public art. It would have 151 parking spaces.
The hotel would be reached from an access road to Northeast 10th Court/Kingman Road.
