Pro Con named archt/CM for $7.8m Residence Inn by Marriott

Construction is underway for a 100-room, Residence Inn by Marriott hotel located at 670 Turner St. Pro Con Inc. is the architect and construction manager for the $7.8 million design-build, which is being developed by Auburncourt, LLC. The hotel is located 6 miles from I-95 and is diagonally across from the Auburn Mall. The 4-story, 75,256 s/f hotel will offer studios, one and two bedroom suites with complete kitchens and separate sleeping and living room areas. The Gatehouse will feature a hearth room including a fireplace, breakfast buffet area, guest market, meeting room and study area. Plans call for a connected pool house with an indoor pool, spa, fitness room and guest laundry. The hotel will reflect a new generation of Residence Inn by Marriott with exterior stone veneer, gable windows and cathedral ceilings in the Gatehouse and pool areas. Pro Con began construction in March and has scheduled a March 2009 completion date. This is one of several hotel projects Pro Con has recently designed and built including a 97-unit Residence Inn by Marriott in Middleton, R.I. and a 59-unit Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Hooksett, N.H.
