A Hilton Garden Inn (rendering below) planned for an outparcel on the southeast corner of S.R. 56 and Silver Maple Pkwy. is currently wrapping up the permitting process and could break ground by the end of August, according to Justin Floyd, the president of R.E. Floyd Construction Corporation.
The new hotel, which will have 123 rooms, making it the largest in Wesley Chapel other than the 540-room Saddlebrook Resort, will be constructed next to the existing BB&T Bank, which is on the same side of S.R. 56 as Texas Roadhouse.
Floyd heads up the construction firm handling the project for a local ownership group based out of New York. He says the ownership group has 27 years of experience in the hotel business and made the decision to expand into the Florida market and the Wesley Chapel area because, “they saw the tremendous amount of growth potential.”
The Hilton Garden Inn will be six stories, and will feature a full restaurant with outdoor seating, a pool and spa with outdoor patio and fire pit, a conference/meeting facility as well as business and fitness centers.
Floyd says he hopes to complete the project and open the hotel during the summer of 2017.
The Hilton Garden Inn is one of three hotels expected to be built along roughly a three-mile stretch of S.R. 56.
Almost directly across S.R. 56, near what will soon become Florida Hospital Center Ice, a Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites is expected to open at 2775 Cypress Ridge Blvd. in March 2017. Owned by Global Hotel Group and Gillym Investments, the Holiday Inn Express will have 80 rooms.
And further down S.R. 56, east of the Shops at Wiregrass mall, the 54,500-sq.ft. Fairfield Inn & Suites Wiregrass — which will have 92 rooms — is going through permitting. We’ll keep you posted.
