July 21, 2006 New Carrollton site to sing a whole new $75M tune
(By Joe Coombs Senior Staff Reporter) WASHINGTON BUSINESS JOURNAL
Elvis slept here in 1971. And, just like that famous guest, the owners of a hotel in New Carrollton are all shook up over a new love: the site's $75 million redevelopment.
Work should start in September on an overhaul of the New Carrollton Hotel on Route 450 just inside the Beltway. It will become a Sheraton Four Points surrounded by new retail, office condominiums and about 100 residential units. Legend has it that The King stayed there when he did a show at the former Capital Centre in Landover, says Parvez Ahmed, vice president and chief operating officer of America Hospitality Management, the hotel's owner. "We heard he reserved the whole 10th floor," Ahmed says. "He punched a hole in the wall in one of the rooms. Obviously, it's been fixed up since then." Ahmed and his company ( www.americahospitalitymanagement.com ), which bought the hotel in 2004 when it was under the Ramada flag, want to return some star quality to the site. They have crafted a vision that includes coffee shops, restaurants, office condos and luxury townhouses that will top out at 4,000 square feet. The hotel conversion about 75,000 square feet if retail and office condo space should be finished by next spring, Ahmed says. A path will connect the hotel/retail site with about 100 townhouse-style condos expected to be finished by the fall of 2008. No retail leases have been signed yet, but Ahmed's company has a letter of intent from a day and fitness spa that would occupy about 18,000 square feet at what will be called New Carrollton Town Center. The hotel's upgrades will include a Stonefish Grill restaurant in part of the Ramada's old ballroom. America Hospitality will consolidate its offices and have a new headquarters at the development. The Route 450 corridor in Prince George's County should see other changes in the near future. A Wal-Mart is under construction at the Capital Plaza complex in Landover Hills, a Commerce Bank and CVS are planned for Carrollton, and several developers are expressing interesting in rehabbing their properties, says Wanda Brooks, president of the Annapolis Road/450 Inner Beltway Alliance ( www.ariba450.org ). Brooks' group was formed two years ago in response to a county planning stucy on Route 450's development potential. The alliance is focusing on properties along Route 450 between the Baltimore- Washington Parkway and the Beltway. The group still has a plenty of work to do, Brooks says. "We still have no sit-down restaurants and too many pawn shops." Ahmed and his associates at American Hospitality hope to be the catalyst for the redevelopment effort. He and Arun Luthra, the company's president and CEO, grew up locally, attended the University of Maryland and worked for founding American Hospitality two years ago. Says Ahmed: “We know the area well, and it needs revitalization.” “We still have no sit-down restaurants and too many pawn shops.” Wand Brooks, President Annapolis Road/450 Inner Beltway Alliance
October 2005 LaToyra Hayes, her fiance Everett Duronsilet and their two sons, 3-year-old Nije and 2-year-old Elijah, have called a double room at New Carrollton's Ramada Inn home for the past month. "It's frustrating at times, but we can't complain because we have somewhere to sleep," Hayes said. The family is one of between 22 and 30 that have been staying at the Ramada since County Executive Jack B. Johnson requested a response from hotels, said Parvez Ahmed, the Ramada's general manager. Helping out like this is especially important for Ahmed, a native of Bangladesh, a country near India and Burma prone to flooding. Read Full Story January 2005 AHM managed property wins bid to be the site of the 2005 "Out-of-Country-Voting" program for Iraqi citizens living in America. The polls opened this morning in the Washington area and across the globe for overseas Iraqis casting absentee ballots in their country's election to choose a national assembly. The voting place at the Ramada Inn in New Carrollton, which opened at 7 a.m., is one of five in the United States open in advance of the election in Iraq Sunday. March 2005 AHM finalized the purchase and management contract of the Ramada Inn and Conference Center, New Carrollton. MD. This full service hotel has 244 rooms/suites, and over 33,000 square feet of banquet and meeting space. Immediate installation of hardwired High Speed Internet is in the plans within the next two weeks. Upgrades to rooms (including FF&E) and public area is planned to begin within this week. Located off of Interstate-95 of the Capital Beltway in a suburban area of Metropolitan Washington, DC, this hotel has a huge potential to succeed with group, transient, corporate and government business.
