Developed by a joint venture between Ensemble Real Estate Investments and AECOM Capital Partners, the hotel is scheduled to open in late 2017. Cuningham Group Architecture of Minneapolis has been selected as the architect of record, while New York-based McCartan Interior Design will provide interior design services.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AECOM Capital and Ensemble Real Estate Investments are pleased to step forward with Bohannon Development on this iconic project,&#8221; Brian Ehrlich, chief investment officer at Ensemble Real Estate Investments, said in prepared remarks. &#8220;The Autograph Collection hotel creates a bold signature for Menlo Gateway, complementing Menlo Park&#8217;s revitalization initiatives with an exciting original project that confirms the area&#8217;s preeminence in innovation and forward thinking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The second phase of the Menlo Gateway project will include two additional office buildings, a caf\u00e9\/restaurant, as well as neighborhood retail and community facilities, all totaling roughly 500,000 square feet of space.<\/p>\n<p>The project was originally approved by the City Council in June 2010. Since that vote, revisions were made to the project as late as last year, with groundbreaking now finally set for Menlo Gateway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following years of planning and revisions, the master-planned office and hospitality project is finally underway in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":1004139992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21743,21782,21751,21752,21742,21747,1609,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004139991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-deals","category-development","category-hotel","category-mixed-use","category-latest","category-office","category-san-francisco","category-west"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
