CAMILLUS — Construction continues on a four-story, 92-room Tru by Hilton hotel, next to Costco in the Township 5 shopping center in Camillus.
The $8.5 million, nearly 43,000-square-foot hotel is expected to open in mid-July, according to John Cheney, CFO at the Cameron Group, the developer of Township 5. Construction site work began last June.
Tru by Hilton is a mid-scale hotel brand that Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT) first unveiled as a concept at the end of 2015. The first Tru by Hilton opened in 2017 and nearly 20 of the hotels are open as of now, according to the hotel brand’s website.
Tru by Hilton bills itself as a “brand-new hotel experience from Hilton that’s vibrant, affordable and young-at-heart.” It is trying to appeal to millennials, genXers, and baby boomers — unlike other brands that are targeting millennials — through features such as a large, open lobby and bright colors.
The hotel under construction in Camillus is located on the far east side of Township 5, just off Hinsdale Road.
Kevin Hughes Construction is the project’s general contractor, Dunn and Sgromo Engineers is the project engineer, Lan-Co Companies completed the site-development work, and Gerri Kielhofner is the project architect, according to Cheney.
Between 85 and 100 construction workers are working on building the hotel, he adds.
Township 5 is a $75 million retail, office, and residential complex. In addition to Costco, it is home to Movie Tavern, Buffalo Wild Wings, Petco, and Red Robin.
