The City of Westerville today announced an agreement with Concord Hospitality to build a full-service Marriott Renaissance hotel and conference center at Westar Place, the site formerly known as ALTAIR Business Park. Continental Realty/Continental Real Estate was also announced as the City’s development consultant and brokerage team for the site, a tract of 62 acres of land acquired by the City for commercial development in Westar, the growing regional epicenter of commerce located east of Interstate 71 along Polaris Parkway in Westerville.
Since its purchase in May, the City has been working closely with planners, developers and economic advisors to plan for office and retail development, as well as hotel and conference space along underdeveloped portions of the Westar area.
The land is situated between Cleveland Avenue and Africa Road south of Polaris Parkway, a desirable location for commercial and office development, and is already home to corporate headquarters and businesses in the health care, technology and financial services sectors. Expected to attract more than 3,000 jobs to the Westerville community, these announcements formalize plans for this premier commercial space to add up to one million square feet of additional Class A office space in Westerville, meeting space demands for business attraction and retention efforts.
