The hotel will be built off Sky Pond Drive and Centerra Parkway, just south of The Promenade Shops at Centerra. The hotel will incorporate local artwork and will connect with surrounding community amenities, including Chapungu Sculpture Park, and be within walking distance of nearby shopping and dining experiences.

David Crowder, McWhinney’s vice president of of community development and general manager of Centerra, said the area is growing at a rapid pace.

“With that growth we also expect more visitors,” Crowder said in a prepared statement. “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.”
