Naman Hotels project expected to be complete by year end
Charlotte, N.C. — A planned Hilton Garden Inn hotel at the 90-acre Waverly development in south Charlotte has reached its halfway point of construction.
The 141-room hotel celebrated its topping out earlier this month. The Hilton Garden Inn will be located across from a public plaza called The Terrace that will be a center of activity at Waverly, which is being developed by Crosland Southeast, Childress Klein and the Frank B. Matthews II family.
Developed by Naman Hotels, the Hilton Garden Inn will feature a rooftop pool overlooking The Terrace, 3,000 square feet of meeting space and upscale yet affordable rooms for travelers. It is expected to open by the end of this year and will be Naman Hotels’ third hotel in the greater Charlotte market.
“The Hilton Garden Inn at Waverly will bring a much-needed hotel option to this area and will be surrounded by an impressive mix of walkable restaurants and retailers that our guests will enjoy,” said Nick Patel, chief financial officer at Naman Hotels.
The Hilton Garden Inn will join The Hub, a six-story office building expected to deliver in May, as well as a variety of residential and retail offerings at Waverly, which will combine a light, contemporary architecture with traditional placemaking in south Charlotte.
“As the first hotel developed at this interchange, the Hilton Garden Inn will be a valuable addition to the community and an important amenity for our residents and future office tenants at Waverly,” said Peter B. Pappas, managing partner of Crosland Southeast.
Forty retail shops and restaurants have signed at Waverly. A 40,000-square-foot Whole Foods, Waverly’s retail anchor, will open late spring, and 22,000-square-foot medical office anchor Novant Health opened last fall. Several retailers have recently opened at Waverly, including Chick-fil-A, Chuy’s, CVS, Firehouse Subs, Mattress Firm, Panera Bread, The Porter’s House and ULTA Beauty.
