Atlanta hotel developers are working double time to ensure they get their projects done before the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, which are just 15 months away. A Moxy by Marriott is nearing a construction milestone after finishing prepping the lot just six months ago. Urbanize Atlanta reports that as of this week, the 329 Marietta St. Moxy project has about two more stories to rise before topping out. When completed, the hotel will be 10 stories tall. 

Nexera Capital and Emerge Hospitality Group are part of the hotel’s development team, which is being built by Winter Construction. The 183-room hotel will stand next to Hyatt Place Atlanta hotel in a location easily walkable to Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, Georgia World Congress Center, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, among other attractions.

Designs call for a rooftop lounge, a bar at street level, a speakeasy, and several other gathering spaces around the property. It’s the towns second Moxy by Marriott.

Vision Hospitality has purchased a quarter-acre lot in Raleigh’s Glenwood South in order to build a Moxy hotel. The Triangle Business Journal reports Vision paid $4.6 million for the parcel. Turnbridge Equities was the seller. Turnbridge paid $3.7 million for the piece in 2020. The parcel is part of a larger assemblage by Turnbridge, including the historic Creamery building where Turnbridge has plans to build two mixed-use towers – one rising 36 stories and one 21 stories.

Vision has filed plans to build a 9-story, 169-key hotel under the Moxy name. The brand is owned by Marriott International and is known for its boutique-style atmosphere at a competitive price.

The Moxy hotel site is currently a surface parking lot. Site plans for the Raleigh hotel show a flex meeting room, a kitchen, a bar, a food truck space, a lounge and patios.

ODA Architecture is listed as the project’s architect, and O’Kane & Associates is listed as the civil engineer.
