Architecture firm AO and construction firm RD Olson Construction have begun construction on the Element Hotel by Marriott in Misson Valley. The ground up construction is on the former tennis courts of the hotel.

The base of the structure will be two stories of concrete construction with five stories of wood frame above.

The 9,104 m2 (98,000 sf) seven-story hotel tower will be situated next to the existing full-service Marriott Hotel Mission Valley and will be designed to share the pool amenity deck and restaurants with that facility, while maintaining its own entrance, lobby, lounge, and amenities such as a 492 m2 (5,300 sf) conference and ballroom space, fitness center, and meeting rooms.

The project will comply with Title 24 energy and water use criteria, which is approximate to LEED’s Silver level.

The project is expected to be completed by winter of 2026.
