True North Hotel Group, a Kansas-based hotel development and management company, has begun construction this fall on its second hotel in South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers.
True North executives were joined by Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano and partners at Robert Martin Co., the Elmsford-based owner of the park property, at a Thursday groundbreaking for a 154-room Courtyard by Marriott. The three-acre site is directly opposite True North”™s six-year-old, $31 million Residence Inn at 7 Executive Boulevard.
“The location permits efficiency of parking and operation of the two adjoining facilities, while catering to two different segments of hotel guests,” said Brad Weins, senior vice president at True North Hotel Group.
Expected to be completed by mid-2016, the $24.5 million project is creating about 250 construction jobs and will bring 50 full-time-equivalent permanent jobs to the city, according to Yonkers officials.
