The 97-room hotel is also notable because it marks the debut of Homewood Suites&#8217; new Generation 9 design prototype, a concept that is expected to have great appeal to developers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The brand developed the Gen9 prototype mindful of specific industry, economic and strategic objectives that make Homewood Suites a top choice for new extended-stay projects,&#8221; Bill Duncan, global head of brand management for Homewood Suites, told <em>CPE<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes bigger is not always better. The new design allows for a smaller footprint that requires 20 percent less land area than traditional Homewood Suites properties, which opens the door to a greater number of potential sites. Additionally, the physical downsizing decreases construction cost by 10 to 15 percent. The reduction translates to owner savings of approximately 4 to 6 percent per key. &#8220;[The prototype] makes expansion in urban locations and locations reaching complete build-out more attainable.<\/p>\n<p>Joplin Hospitality, the owner of the new Homewood Suites hotel, chose to erect the four-story lodging destination at 2642 East 32 St., placing it within close proximity of one of Joplin&#8217;s most active commercial centers. The recovering City of Joplin is already benefiting from the debut of the hotel, which is being managed by McHugh Hospitality Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 97-room hotel marks the debut of Homewood Suites&#8217; new Generation 9 design prototype.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004535613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21751,13,21742,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004045489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-hotel","category-midwest","category-latest","category-regions"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
