Sage Hospitality Group, together with Norwood Development Group, have submitted a preliminary proposal to build a new Catbird Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs.
The proposal envisions a new full-service, independent, extended-stay hotel, that will include 180-rooms, dining and meeting spaces. The hotel is the second in the Catbird brand, joining Catbird Hotel, Denver, which opened in 2021 in the RiNo neighborhood. The hotel will join the group of independent lifestyle hotels in Sage’s portfolio, including The Crawford Hotel, The Oxford Hotel, The Maven and The Rally in Denver as well as others across the country.
Groundbreaking is expected in Spring 2025 and completion is scheduled for Fall 2027. Sage will manage and operate the hotel and dining outlets.
Catbird Hotel, Colorado Springs represents the latest addition to the New South End, a “vibrant and eclectic” neighborhood known for its recent revitalization efforts. The area has seen a rise in new restaurants, art spaces and contemporary developments, transforming it into a cultural and social hub that includes the Trolley Block, Coati, Denver Biscuit Co., and Norwood’s luxury apartment building, The Mae on Cascade, according to the company.
Sage Studio, the in-house strategy and creative team at Sage Hospitality Group, will oversee the concept, brand and design of the hotel. The creative team for the project includes:
- DLR Group, the integrated design firm that delivered the guestroom prototypes for Catbird, Denver, will lead design of the guestroom interiors, guestroom corridors and elevator lobbies.
- The interior design of the public spaces, as well as additional branding, will be led by Portland-based OMFGCo, who developed the original brand design for Catbird, Denver.
- Architectural design will be provided by Denver-based JNS Architecture + Interior Design.
“Catbird is an innovative extended-stay brand that is poised for growth nationally, through conversion and new construction projects,” said Daniel del Olmo, president, Sage Hospitality Group. “We see tremendous potential in Colorado Springs as a dynamic destination that is welcoming business and leisure travelers. Partnering with Norwood Development Group, with their deep local expertise and visionary approach, gives us great confidence that this hotel will be a transformative project for the city, and a valuable addition to our portfolio.”
“Sage is a world-class hospitality organization,” said Chris Jenkins, CEO, Norwood. “We view Catbird as the start of a new wave of hospitality projects brought to Colorado Springs through the exciting collaboration between Norwood and Sage.”
