Construction has topped out for the U-shaped five-story Element Hotel by Marriott, confirmed by a recent site visit to the property at 1130 Champions Drive in Newhall, San Jose. The new building will span 115,000 square feet, producing 175 guest rooms immediately opposite the San Jose Earthquakes soccer stadium and the city’s international airport. The project, led by Nexus Development, is part of a much larger mixed-use plan, the Coleman Highline.

The 60-foot structure at 1130 Champions Drive offers 175 guest rooms along with a series of amenities. In their project description, the contractor Huff Construction Co. writes, “The Element Hotel brand has redefined the longer-stay experience with an outdoor-inspired design philosophy that is clean, modern, and bright.” This includes the open-air pool connected with a lounge area. Residents will also have access to a fitness center, meeting room, bar, and bicycles to borrow. The hotel will be a participant in the Marriott International brand and Marriott Bonvoy Program.
