TownPlace Suites
PROCON Architect and CM
Chelsea, MA – The owners and staff of the new 140-key TownePlace Suites by Marriott hotel officially opened the doors and welcomed their first overnight guests on March 6, 2015. The TownePlace Suites hotel, located at 30 Eastern Avenue in Chelsea, was developed by XSS Hotels.
PROCON of Manchester, N.H. was the architect and construction manager for the $13.4 million development. The property is being managed by Colwen Hotels of Portsmouth, N.H.
PROCON designed the 82,000sf TownePlace Suites hotel to achieve LEED Silver. The hotel used regional and recycled materials in construction and incorporated environmentally friendly design elements such as a white roof, oversized windows, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and LED lighting throughout the hotel’s common area and parking lot.
The five-story hotel offers king studio and one-bedroom suites with living areas. All the rooms include a microwave oven, refrigerator, cook top, dishwasher, disposal, and coffee maker.
The hotel’s exterior design features a porte-cochere leading from the parking area to the hotel entrance and an oversized, curved storefront window at the corner of the building. The exterior finishes feature brick veneer, insulated metal paneling, and cast stone.

The hotel site includes 82 street level parking spaces. The building’s first floor houses the lobby and common rooms, with ground level parking. Floors 2 thru 5 house the hotel’s guest rooms.
The hotel amenities include a business center, indoor pool and fitness room, complimentary breakfast buffet and a full bar with limited food service during the evening hours.
The TownePlace Suites is one of three hotel projects PROCON has recently designed and built for XSS Hotels in Chelsea. The 128-key Chelsea Residence Inn by Marriott was completed in 2012 and site work recently began on a new 152-key Homewood Suites by Hilton directly across the street from the Residence Inn.
