SAN DIEGO—Developers of the Pendry hotel project expect to break ground today in the Gaslamp Quarter.

Pendry San Diego, a 317-room, $100 million-plus upscale hotel, will be built on the block bounded by Fifth, Sixth and Island avenues and J Street. The 12-story hotel, located three blocks north of the San Diego Convention Center, is expected to open in the summer of 2016, according to a report at the news website UT San Diego.

The property will include 36 suites of studio, one- and two-bedroom configurations and several restaurants and bars. An outdoor pool, spa, grill and fitness area will be located on a third floor deck. The 8,600-square-foot ballroom and various meeting rooms will cater to local and out-of-town group meeting planners.

The average room rate has not been set but is expected to range from $250 to $300, UT said.

The developers are the Robert Green Company and Montage Hotels and Resorts. The architect is Awbrey Cook Rogers McGill, which slightly modified the previously approved design for a Renaissance Marriott Hotel originally planned for the site. Davis Reed Construction is the general contractor.

Montage chose the San Diego location as the first location for it's Pendry boutique brand. It operates five other Montage hotels.
