HGP – WhyHotel is bringing a pop-up location to Maryland’s Merriweather District

NoMa-based WhyHotel is expanding its alternative lodging services to an apartment complex in downtown Columbia, Maryland.
Launched in 2018, the RealLIST Startups 2019 company is launching a pop-up hotel at Juniper, the first apartment complex in Maryland’s Merriweather District. WhyHotel will temporarily manage 70 units at Juniper, a property owned by The Howard Hughes Corporation, beginning in April.
“Partnering with the Howard Hughes Corporation was a natural fit for us,” WhyHotel cofounder and CEO Jason Fudin told Technical.ly. “We’re now able to offer both business and leisure travelers in the area a unique ‘home away from home’ experience, as well as a ‘try before you buy’ experience for potential residents.”
Juniper is the second tenant in the up-and-coming Merriweather District neighborhood located at 6000 Merriweather Drive in Columbia, Maryland. The first building slated to open in the new area is cybersecurity company Tenable’s new headquarters, which will be a 12-story tower. Merriweather District is part of a 391 acre redevelopment project of downtown Columbia, which will encompass two more neighborhoods with retail, public parks, bike trails, office space, residential options and more.
