Placemakr, a tech enabled hospitality and multi-use operating company, has debuted a destination in Huntsville, which marks the company’s first property in Alabama. Launching in partnership with developers RCP Companies and capital partners Revolution Capital, Placemakr Huntsville at Anthem House is a newly constructed, luxury apartment building within MidCity District.
Located in the $2.2 billion mixed-use Huntsville MidCity District, Placemakr Huntsville at Anthem House has 330 studio, studio plus and one-bedroom units designed for both multi-family living and short-term stays. Upon completion, MidCity will include 1,865 residential units and 925 hotel rooms.
"This property represents an incredible opportunity to bring our unique experience to an exciting and growing community," said Jason Fudin, CEO and co-founder of Placemakr, in a statement. "The rich heritage of Huntsville mixed with the modern investment in business and entertainment makes this a perfect fit with where Placemakr sees opportunities to meet demand for our products."
Commonly known as "Rocket City,” Huntsville is home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Cummings Research Park—the second largest research park in the U.S.—making it a hub for the aerospace industry. Huntsville also has thriving arts districts like Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment, historic neighborhoods like Twickenham, and attractions like the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. With its proximity to Cummings Research Park and Redstone Arsenal, guests at Placemakr Huntsville—whether they are government agency workers based in D.C., including those from NASA or the Department of Defense, or families traveling for leisure—will find home-like comfort across any length of stay, according to the company.
"We're excited to partner with Placemakr to be the first to provide this type of offering with all the corporate travelers and contract work that comes through Huntsville," said Max Grelier, co-founder of RCP Companies, the master developers of MidCity District. "This district is prime for this type of experience, where guests can enjoy a home-like experience whether they're here for a weekend, six months, or longer."
