Dual-Branded Hotel Going Up Near Love Field

Construction recently started on a 215-room dual-branded Courtyard by Marriott and Residence Inn by Marriott at 1807 W. Mockingbird Lane. The hotel is targeted toward visitors at the nearby Parkland and UT Southwestern hospitals as well as travelers flying into Love Field.

Dreamliner Global is developing the project, and Type Six Design and Development, a design and engineering firm, is the project designer. Soma Construction of Coppell is listed as the contractor. Site work on the vacant lot has started, and construction is planned to take about 18 months.

The Dallas Business Journal reports Dreamliner acquired the property in November and took out a $33.2 million loan from an entity connected with Atlanta-based investment firm Peachtree Group.

The hotel will have about twice as many rooms as a single Courtyard or Residence Inn but with shared back-of-house spaces and amenities.
