GROUNDBREAKING SET FOR CANDLEWOOD SUITES

THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS — Groundbreaking is set to occur this summer for a 91-room Candlewood Suites hotel within The Woodlands, a 28,000-acre master-planned community located 27 miles north of Houston. The project is being developed by Odom Woodlands Hotel LLC, an affiliate of Scott T. Odom Land Development Co. The site, located at the corner of Interstate 45 and St. Luke’s Way, was purchased by Odom from The Woodland Development Company, a limited partnership between Morgan Stanley and General Growth Properties. The extended-stay hotel features studio and one-bedroom suites with fully equipped kitchens, executive desks and flat-screen televisions. The hotel also will feature a convenience store, a fitness center and complimentary guest laundry.
