Courtyard by Marriott in Glassboro, New Jersey

The 129-room Hotel and Conference Center is Scheduled to Open in Fall 2013

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., December 5, 2012 --Shaner Hotels will operate the new Marriott Courtyard Hotel and Conference Center in the Rowan Boulevard revitalization project in Glassboro, New Jersey.

Rowan Boulevard encompasses over $300 million in public and private investment and is the direct result of the unique partnership that evolved among the borough of Glassboro, New Jersey, Rowan University and the developer, Kinsley Equities.

The completed project will be a mixed-use, walkable community that encompasses 27 acres in Glassboro. The boulevard will include a new town square designed for live concerts and community events while showcasing retail spaces for restaurants, fashion boutiques, office space, wellness and personal care centers, parking garages, grocery store, public park, and residential space for students, seniors and families in the Glassboro community for the ultimate in smart growth living.

“The Courtyard by Marriott will complement our other Rowan Boulevard developments,” said Bob Kinsley, Managing Member of Kinsley Equities. “It will directly link Rowan University with the borough’s downtown retail district to create the quintessential college town.”
