Spark GHC and J ROC Development have initiated a joint venture (JV) to construct a dual-branded select-service hotel at the SouthPark Mall site in Strongsville, Ohio, US.
The initiative, referred to as Project Mustang, will occupy a plot pre-approved for hospitality purposes, complementing SouthPark Mall’s strategy to transform less-used areas for enhanced community benefit.

Following the recent execution of a purchase and sales agreement with the current landowner, both companies are proceeding with an equal stake in the JV.
The planned hotel aims to cater to the needs of both business travellers and vacationers.
Spark GHC principal Amit Patel said: “Our intent is to bring something best-in-class to the city, not just another hotel, but a thoughtfully integrated piece of the community.”
The chosen location makes it convenient for guests involved in local sporting events or business activities within Strongsville’s industrial sectors.
