Sharbell Nexton LLC closes on new A.C. Hotels by Marriott property in Downtown Nexton

January 24, 2024

Sharbell Nexton, LLC (Sharbell) announced that Columbia, MD-based developer Baywood Hotels recently closed on a parcel designated for an A.C. Hotel by Marriott in Downtown Nexton, an urban-inspired, mixed-use community that will feature retail, dining, service, office and hospitality providers.

Initially announced in 2022, the boutique hotel will be situated on 2.5 acres on the corner of Sigma Drive and Session Street and will include 117 guest rooms on four floors.

“The closing on the A.C. Hotel by Marriott marks a significant step in the development of Downtown Nexton,” says Thomas Troy, President of Sharbell Nexton LLC. “Bringing an A.C. Hotel to the area further reinforces the mixed-use nature of Downtown Nexton, while expanding the services and lifestyle options available to all residents and visitors of the greater Nexton/Summerville area. A.C. Hotels is a brand well known for delivering a combination of quality, modern design, convenience and authenticity, which aligns with the vision for this community.”

Plans for the hotel include an outdoor pool and courtyard, indoor kitchen and open lounge area, fitness room and meeting space. The project will be the second A.C.-flagged property in South Carolina, with the other located in Greenville.

The hotel is estimated to break ground in Q3 2024 with an anticipated 18-month completion time.

In addition to the A.C. Hotel by Marriott, previously announced plans in Downtown Nexton include The Ames and The Radler multifamily communities and Atelier office campus. Additionally, construction on the Lofts mixed-use/multifamily community is well underway.
