Path Construction Breaks Ground on Marriott's First StudioRes Hotel in Fort Myers

Path Construction, a leading construction company, recently celebrated a significant milestone: the groundbreaking ceremony for Marriott International's first StudioRes brand hotel in Fort Myers, Florida.

StudioRes: A New Brand for Extended Stays

The StudioRes brand represents Marriott's new venture into the affordable midscale extended-stay market for the U.S. and Canadian markets. This brand caters to guests seeking comfortable yet economical accommodations for longer stays. The Fort Myers hotel will be a 124-key, 54,000-square-foot property and will be known for its cost-efficient construction approach, making it Marriott's most affordable project on a per-key basis.

Industry Leaders Celebrate Collaboration

The groundbreaking ceremony brought together key figures from Path Construction, Marriott International, Concord Hospitality (the developer), and Whitman Peterson.

Noah Silverman, Global Development Officer for Marriott International in the U.S. and Canada, expressed his excitement about this milestone. He emphasized the importance of expanding Marriott's offerings to cater to diverse guest needs and highlighted the rapid progress made in bringing the StudioRes brand to life, going from announcement to groundbreaking within just six months.
