RICHARDSON, TX—At full build-out, CityLine, the 186-acre transit-oriented development, will contain 5 million square feet of office space, 3,925 multifamily residential units, more than 50 dining and service retail options, two hotels, and two parks with access to regional hike and bike trails. Approximately 30,000 people are expected to live and work at CityLine.
Signaling further development there, The Aloft Richardson has officially opened. Located at 1160 E. State St., the 148 guest rooms feature 9-foot-high ceilings, 50-inch LCD TVs and walk-in showers.
“With close proximity to major airports, Aloft Richardson is not only great for a quick getaway or staycation, but for global business travelers as well,” Justin Newton, general manager, Aloft Richardson, tells GlobeSt.com. “We have nearly 3,000 square feet of flexible meeting space available to our guests, all equipped with the latest high-tech features to meet specific needs.”
The pet-friendly hotel in the heart of CityLine includes amenities such as free Wi-Fi and parking, Re:fuel for 24/7 grab-and-go light meals and snacks, Re:charge gym, pool, outdoor patio, and an app-based system used for check-in and room access.
Aloft Richardson will include the WXYZ Lounge, which will offer a full menu of drinks, bites and a social scene. A weekly live music performance series, Live at the Aloft, will launch later this year.
“The addition of Aloft's WXYZ Lounge will be a great fit for the CityLine crowd and we're excited to complement our many dining neighbors within the development,” said Newton. “It's the perfect place to grab a drink and appetizer before dinner, or as your last stop of the evening for dessert.”
CityLine features a dense mix of office buildings, apartments, restaurants, entertainment options and open space, with access to two major highways and the DART light rail system. CityLine's current development phase includes more than 25 dining options with Whole Foods Market as a retail anchor, seven office buildings home to State Farm and Raytheon, and a wellness office building anchored by Texas Health Resources and Children's Medical Center.
