US: Fashion retailer Urban Outfitters has released plans for a new town centre in Devon, Pennsylvania that will contain a boutique hotel.
It has leased the site of the former Waterloo Gardens and plans to partner with an as yet unnamed boutique hotel operator to open The Devon Inn. The hotel will be five storeys high in the main wing and three levels high in the adjoining wings. The property will feature 93 guest rooms, an event space, a wine boutique, and a luxury spa.
The Devon Yard development will also include a Terrain garden centre, an Anthropologie store, mid-level and fine dining restaurants, a multi-storey car park, shops, and high-end amenities.
Philadelphia-based Urban Outfitters is also partnering with the Devon Horse Show to improve the Horse Show’s parking lot and make other improvements in the area. A planning application for the project has been submitted and if all goes to plan the development will be completed by 2016.
