LOVELAND, COLO. — May 4, 2017 — McWHINNEY and Stonebridge Companies announce a new Courtyard by Marriott slated to be built at Centerra, an award-winning master-planned community located in the heart of Northern Colorado in Loveland. The new hotel will break ground in June of 2017 proximate to the highly operated I-25 and US 34 intersection, which provides direct access to strong corporate and leisure demand including Rocky Mountain National Park.

The four-story, 101-room hotel plans to include a bistro and lounge, more than 1,200 square feet of meeting space, fitness center, a market, pool, hot tub, and guest laundry. The Courtyard by Marriott will be located off Sky Pond Drive and Centerra Parkway, just south of The Promenade Shops at Centerra. The hotel will incorporate local artwork and will immediately connect with surrounding community amenities, including Chapungu Sculpture Park, and be within walking distance of nearby shopping and dining experiences. “At the heart of Northern Colorado, Centerra is the perfect location for a new hotel and we are excited to welcome Courtyard by Marriott to Centerra,” said David Crowder, McWHINNEY Vice President of Community Development/GM of Centerra. “The area is growing at a rapid pace and with that growth we also expect more visitors. The new Courtyard by Marriott will provide companies in the area with a convenient location for guests and will give visitors a place to call home.”

“We are thrilled to work with McWHINNEY on Centerra’s fourth and latest hotel project,” said Navin Dimond, President and CEO of Stonebridge Companies. “The hotel was designed under our “Distinguished Hospitality™” brand in order to ensure the best experience possible, as well as provide a true, local ambiance for guests.”
