96-Room Hotel To Join Mixed-Use Development

JACKSONVILLE, FL-Locally based Joyce Development Group will be constructing a 96-room Hotel Indigo as part of mixed-use Tapestry Park. The project rising on Deer Lake Drive west adjacent to the Merrill Lynch office campus.

Construction of the hotel, which will be owned and operated by Zieg Hospitality of Jacksonville, Inc., is expected to begin in February, Joyce Development Group president John Joyce tells GlobeSt.com. “Having Hotel Indigo as part of the project is important,” Joyce says. “The hotel element is a key piece to the mixed-use project.”

Site work on the first phase of Tapestry Park began in September. In addition to the hotel, the first phase of the project includes 52 townhomes, which are being developed by Birmingham, AL-based Arlington Properties. Tapestry Park also will include 41,000 sf of retail space, 16,000 sf of office condominium space and a lakeside restaurant, all of which are being developed by Joyce Development Group. “We’re hoping to have all the components of Phase 1 completed by late summer 2007,” Joyce says.
