Boston Zoning Approves Final Phase of Three-Hotel Campus

DGH Hotel Partners JV, LLC, a joint venture between Global Hospitality Investment Group and a global investment management firm, has won approval from the Boston Zoning Commission for a new hotel on Anchor Street, across from the Thomas M. Menino Convention and Exhibition Center. It will join the existing Aloft and Element Boston Seaport hotels as the newest component of a 968-key hotel and retail campus owned by the JV under a long-term land lease with the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.

When completed, the final phase of the three-hotel development, initiated in 2016, will add 438 guest rooms across 160,000 square feet. The project will feature a new landscaped entry plaza on Anchor Street, an indoor/outdoor lobby bar and a rooftop amenity space.

“We’re thrilled to bring a new hotel to the heart of Boston’s Seaport District, across from the Convention Center,” said Kevin Colket, founder & CEO of Global Hospitality Investment Group. “We look forward to growing our presence in Boston by expanding our footprint next to the Aloft and Element Hotels and completing the vision of delivering a mixed-use campus with a collection of hotel brands and active retail that supports the Convention Center and enhances the vibrancy of D Street.”
