Sharbell Nexton LLC is bringing an A.C. Hotel by Marriott, developed by Baywood Hotels, a Columbia, Md.-based company, to the planned community of Nexton in Summerville in 2024.

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, according to a Sharbell Nexton news release. Plans for the hotel include an outdoor pool and courtyard, indoor kitchen and open lounge area, fitness room and meeting space.

In June 2021, Sharbell Development Corp. broke ground on downtown Nexton, an urban-inspired mixed-use development serving the growing number of residents in Nexton and the surrounding region, according to a post on its website.

Situated on nearly 100 acres between Sigma Drive and Brighton Park Boulevard, downtown Nexton will provide retail, dining, hospitality, residential, service, office and commercial options within walking distance of many of Nexton’s residential neighborhoods, according to the post.

Work began on a new phase of the community in January 2022, which is expected to add apartments for rent, hotel, office space and 150,000 square feet of shopping and dining space when it is completely built out over the next five to seven years.

One Nexton is consistent with the mixed-use development philosophy of the larger Nexton community, which sits between Interstate 26 and U.S. Highway 176 and was named the “Master-Planned Community of the Year” in 2021 by the National Association of Homebuilders.

Located at the northeast corner of Brighton Park Boulevard and Nexton Parkway, the first phase of One Nexton is expected to be complete in the fall of 2024.
