Style Weekly has the details on plans for the Freedom Center @ 14th and Cary Streets:

Plans call for an exhibit space and a curved monument facing the corner. Literature for the project says the facility will bring together “two Marriott brand hotels,” but officials with the nonprofit wouldn’t offer details. Sources say it’s likely one of the hotels would be an extended-stay facility, typically designed for business travelers.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2009, with the hotels opening in late 2010. First Freedom is finalizing an agreement with Apple REIT Cos., a local real estate investment trust, which is developing the hotels, says Sharon Durham, the center’s chief financial officer.
