The construction of a Marriott extended-stay hotel on Marks Church Road is pegged to begin next month, according to project developers.
With an anticipated starting time in mid-February, the work on the 124-room Residence Inn by Marriott is scheduled to be finished in a year and ready in time for the 2015 Masters Tournament, said Bipin Hira, of PeachState Hospitality, the developer and managing company.
“That’s our goal,” Hira said. “That’s the reason we’re rushing it, too.”
The four-story building is planned at 1116 Marks Church Road near the Bobby Jones Expressway interchange and Wheeler Road. The location, between Augusta Mall and Augusta Exchange shopping center, is ideal for its visibility and proximity to Fort Gordon and area nuclear facilities, Hira said.
