Downtown Jacksonville’s skyline is now adorned with a new landmark as Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Downtown proudly opens its doors in the vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood. This marks the inaugural venture into the hospitality sector for Corner Lot with industry veteran, Kelco Management & Development, Inc., representing a significant milestone for both the company and the community.
Strategically located on Park St. next to I-95, the Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Downtown, part of Hilton’s (NYSE: HLT) All Suites portfolio, is poised to become a beacon of comfort and convenience for travelers seeking a distinctive experience.
Designed with unique customizations, tech-savvy enhancements and plenty of space to call their own, travelers and their pets can enjoy comfortable, stylish suites with the flexibility of separate bedrooms and living spaces.
“This new property offers flexibility, customization and the essentials to help our business and leisure guests feel at home regardless of their length of stay,” said Bob Pierce, general manager. “We are excited to welcome guests and their furry friends to our all-suite accommodations and amenities that focus on sustainability, community and comfort.”
Owned by Kelco CL Park, LLC (a partnership between Corner Lot and Kelco Management & Development, Inc.) and managed by Kelco Management & Development, Inc., Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Downtown offers all-suite accommodations, including spacious studio and one-bedroom suites designed with a streamlined approach to storage and stylish innovations, including a “working wall,” which incorporates a full kitchen and a flexible working/media space.
Each suite features modular furniture, providing guests the flexibility to customize their space to their style and preference. The hotel also features complimentary daily breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and multifunctional community space and amenities such as a 24-hour enhanced fitness center with Peloton cycle and Hydrow rowing machines, a self-service laundry room, and Home2 MKT for grab-and-go items. The property also has an outdoor patio and fire pit, 650 square feet of private meeting space, and a local full-service restaurant, Players Grille, coming soon!
Located at 600 Park Street, Jacksonville, FL 32204 near the junction of I-95 and I-10, Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Downtown offers guests convenient access to EverBank Stadium as well as local shopping and dining in the Riverside, Five Points, and Brooklyn neighborhoods.
The economic impact of this landmark project extends far beyond the hospitality sector, contributing significantly to the growth and development of the Downtown Jacksonville area. According to recent statistics, the construction phase alone generated over 200 job opportunities, while ongoing operations are expected to create numerous employment
opportunities for local residents.
“We are immensely proud to unveil the Home2 Suites by Hilton in Downtown Jacksonville, marking a significant milestone in our journey,” said Andy Allen, CEO of Corner Lot. “This project represents our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation and we are thrilled to contribute to the economic vitality of the Brooklyn neighborhood.”
The successful realization of this project would not have been possible without the invaluable support of various stakeholders. Corner Lot, Kelco Management & Development, Inc. and Home2 Suites by Hilton extend their heartfelt gratitude to the Downtown Investment Authority, Jacksonville City Council, Downtown Development Review Board, Kasper Architects and Associates, Driver-McAfee, Players Grille, and Avant Construction Group for their unwavering support and collaboration throughout the journey.
