Ground preparations begin soon for two new Strand Hospitality development projects in North Carolina. The Home2 Suites by Hilton in Belmont, NC is scheduled to break ground in mid-to-late August. Due to this hotel’s unique location and association with Belmont Abbey College, the project will include custom features and upgrades similar to those found at the Hampton Inn Charlotte-Belmont at Montcross, which is under the same ownership.

A little farther north near the intersection of I-77 and I-40 groundbreaking is expected sometime in October for the Fairfield Inn & Suites Statesville, NC. Both properties are projected to open in late 2020.
