Officials provide construction update on TownePlace Suites Hotel
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Construction is in its early stages on the new Marriott TownePlace Suites Hotel on 1401 N. Woodbine Road.
According to City of St. Joseph Plans Review Coordinator Dale Reuter, the four-story, 129-room hotel, proposed in June of 2024, has a market value of $10 million, plus.
Construction officially began sometime in late October 2025.
The building will include a breakfast area, a fitness area, an indoor pool area and an outdoor pool.
"St. Joe is a great place to come and build, and we do need more of the hotels in our area for our interstate people and people traveling through," said Reuter.
According to Reuter, construction crews have poured the foundations. Now, underground plumbing and electricity are just being put in for the building.
Reuter said early conversations have indicated that the plans for the building to be finished are hopefully by June of this year, as Kansas City prepares for the FIFA World Cup.
