Tampa Developers building $20M Orlando hotel

Tampa-based CJP Columbia Properties LLC plans to build a $20 million Hampton Inns & Suites hotel on the campus of Orlando Health near Orlando's city core.

Construction of the hotel is expected to start by mid-2013 with a planned opening in mid-2014. No contactor has been chosen yet for the project.

The 2.3-acre hotel site is the first phase of a larger complex spanning nearly four acres that also includes plans for a 100,000-square-foot medial office building that also will be built by CJP, says Project Manager Brian Funk.
