A four-story hotel is headed to West Central Florida. HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof Inn @ Sitka Street will comprise 36,600-square-feet of new construction, resting on a 4.95-acre build site.
Prior to construction commencing in October 2022, the build site was undeveloped––save for some natural Florida wilderness. Upon completion, the multi-million-dollar venture will feature 124 rooms in varying sizes and with various amenities.
The venture will comprise more than 36,000 square feet.
BLDUP notes that in addition to the 124 rooms, the four-story venture will also serve as the headquarters of DHRUV Development. The New Port Richey-based firm is also the developer. This is also the developer’s first new-build project, as it generally converts older hotels into more contemporary models.
If the new hotel’s amenities are anything like the 70+ HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof Inn locations, they’ll include a swimming pool, fitness center, and meeting areas. Our sources list Woolpert, Inc. ––Cincinnati as the architect. Renderings show a low-rise building with a dark façade and white trim.

As a general rule of thumb, Tampa and Hillsborough county are located in west central Florida and not southwest Florida which includes Naples and Ft. Myers. Those points are a 2.5 to 3 hour drive south of Tampa.
