Winegardner & Hammons to Manage Laura Trio Marriott
Following an extensive review process, SouthEast Group has selected its exclusive hospitality manager for the new Marriott flagged hotel to be part of the redeveloped Laura Street Trio in downtown Jacksonville.
We’re pleased to play a key role in Jacksonville’s downtown growth,” said Mike Conway, President, Winegardner & Hammons, Inc., “and we’re proud to be a part of this historic development effort with SouthEast Group.” The Courtyard by Marriott Jacksonville Downtown is part of an adaptive reuse of three historical buildings known as the Laura Street Trio. The hotel will feature 131 rooms, a rooftop bar, and two new restaurants.
The buildings are being renovated to maintain the detail of the original structures that were built in the early 1900’s, with appropriate updates through contemporary construction and design. The Trio is on the National Register of Historic Places, the official listing of historically significant sites and properties throughout the country.
“We have looked at all the options within the hospitality industry and Marriott’s appeal to us was very strong with this type of product,” said developer Steve Atkins, principal and managing director of SouthEast Group. “We know Winegardner & Hammons will provide the full-service hospitality and progressive management we need for the Courtyard by Marriott in the Laura Trio." Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2015.
