Hotel Development Partners (HDP) announced the acquisition of a prime hotel site on Ashford Dunwoody Road near Perimeter Mall for the development of the 132-room Hampton Inn & Suites, which will be the latest urban prototype for this Hilton hotel brand.

The reuse of the 3.6 acre former parking field at the Sterling Pointe office complex will create a desirable urban setting for the hotel and 25,600 SF of restaurants and retail. Corner Bakery marks the first of two restaurants to be included in the project that provides a unique destination and experience for the Perimeter Center market.

Hotel Equities will manage the Hampton Inn & Suites Dunwoody/Perimeter Center. The project's initial construction phase will begin immediately.

"We are thrilled to move forward on the Sterling Pointe project, adjacent to our Hotel Equities' corporate headquarters," said Fred Cerrone, Chairman and CEO of HE and COO of HDP. "We expect many more exciting opportunities through the HDP strategic partnership in the near future."
