Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) announced the groundbreaking of the Everhome Suites in Nampa, Idaho. The construction milestone comes on the heels of another successful quarter of sustained segment growth for Choice Hotels, whose Everhome brand – which launched in 2020 as the industry's first new construction midscale extended stay offering in nearly a decade – now has more than 50 hotels in the pipeline.
"Everhome Suites continues to grow, fueled by increasing demand from savvy hoteliers looking for brands that perform in any operating environment, and thanks to Choice's proven record of success in the extended stay segment," said Ron Burgett, senior vice president, franchise development, extended stay, Choice Hotels. "We look forward to working with HighSide Companies, the developer of the Everhome Suites in Nampa, to execute our strategy of bringing high quality extended stay locations in key markets across the country. Whether new construction or conversion, our strategic investments in extended stay are designed to increase opportunities for sophisticated developers to tap into this rewarding segment, while benefiting from our proven, extended stay focused support model, and Everhome Suites is the latest example of this."
"As a longtime hospitality leader, no one understands how to curate products that truly stand the test of time – against evolving consumer trends and fluctuating market conditions – quite like Choice Hotels," said Justin Roberts, CEO, HighSide Companies, developer of the Nampa location. "With our partner Westmount Park Investments, we are excited to be a part of a brand that perfectly marries Choice's decades of midscale leadership with a proven extended stay operating model. Our organization is very focused on the extended stay segment, and with Everhome Suites, Choice has created a brand with strong returns and bottom-line performance that make it incredibly attractive. We cannot think of a more fitting brand to add to our growing portfolio or a better collaborator than Choice to help bring our first of many midscale extended stay hotels to life."
Expected to open in late 2023, the four-story, 122-room Everhome Suites is ideally situated in the growing Boise suburb of Nampa – Idaho's third largest city – at 16165 N.
