Choice Hotels starts construction on Cambria hotel in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

Choice Hotels International, along with developers SpringBridge Development and Landmark Enterprises began construction of the Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant in Mount Pleasant, S.C. Located at 1472 Highway 17 North, the 112-room property is set to open in 2018.

The Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant is located minutes from the beaches of Sullivan’s Island and the historical sites of downtown Charleston, S.C. The property will benefit from the city's coastal scenery and cultural resources, in addition to a growing business community. The hotel is also surrounded by a mix of restaurants, bars, shops and outdoor activities.

“We’re thrilled to bring our first Cambria property to Charleston. The Charleston area is growing rapidly, making it a perfect match for a new upscale lodging option in order to meet the increased demand,” Janis Cannon, SVP, upscale brands at Choice Hotels, said in a statement. “We’re excited to team up with SpringBridge Development and Landmark Enterprises to build the Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant, and look forward to exceeding the needs of the modern traveler by providing an experience that will allow guests to treat themselves on the road.”

The Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant will include meeting space, a business center, lobby lounge and fitness center. The property will also have contemporary onsite dining, serving a menu comprised of local offerings, liquor, wine and local craft beers, as well as grab-and-go gourmet salads and sandwiches and a barista bar.

SpringBridge Development is currently focusing on hospitality and commercial construction, and has multiple projects under development across the state of South Carolina.

“We are honored to be opening another property in such a prominent market and we are even more excited to continue to expand our portfolio with Choice by opening such a unique and top notch brand,” Grey Raines, partner at SpringBridge Development, said in a statement.

Landmark Enterprises was founded in 1974 and is headquartered in Mount Pleasant. As a full-service commercial real estate development company, it focuses on the areas of real estate development, property management and brokerage.

“We are bullish on the Mount Pleasant market, and believe that the Cambria brand is a perfect fit for the needs of this community,” Jason Ward, president of Landmark Enterprises, said in a statement. “Landmark Enterprises is privileged to have the opportunity to co-own and develop another hotel project with SpringBridge Development and broaden our portfolio in our own home town.”
