Construction underway on new $7.5 million TownePlace Suites hotel on Woodbine Road
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — One of multiple large-scale hotel projects is underway on North Woodbine Road in the form of a new four-story TownePlace Suites Hotel.
Construction is now moving forward in the early stages of a $7.5 million TownePlace Suites Hotel at 1401 N. Woodbine Road, a 129-room hotel located on a 4.7-acre plot of land north of Stoney Creek Hotel.
Planning and Community Development Director Nathan Pare confirmed foundation and underground utility work has already been finished, with framing work next in line. The hotel is scheduled to be complete in 2026.
The project comes after city councilmembers approved a measure in April to accept funds from the developer for building plan review services. The property is owned by Altira St. Joe Hotel LLC.
TownePlace Suites has more than 500 locations across the United States and Canada, including several in Kansas City. The St. Joseph hotel is expected to have a breakfast area, fitness area, an indoor pool and an outdoor patio.
The Woodbine hotel is one of three hotel projects ongoing or planned across St. Joseph, including a nearby $60 million plan on Frederick Avenue for two large hotels and a new conference center -- which is already under construction -- adding close to 250 new rooms.
Additionally, a $5.1 million 90-room WoodSpring Suites hotel and conference center is also in the works for South Belt Highway by San Jose Steakhouse.
