Updated Plans Presented for Hotel on Somerville/Cambridge Line
Updated plans have been filed for the planned hotel at 1 McGrath Highway on the Cambridge/Somerville Line. Previous plans, approved in 2019, called for a 6-story, 135-room hotel. Since the approval, the project has evolved based on several factors. A larger project can now be supported based on the Somerville Zoning Ordinance approved in December 2019 and this larger project will support the current cost of complete environmental remediation of the site. A more elevated and contemporary lodging concept can will also now be appropriate for the evolving neighborhood. The new concept calls for a 199-room upscale dual-branded hotel, collaboratively developed with Marriott International, Inc. combining an AC Hotel, with a Moxy, a stylish casual brand with a playful atmosphere.
