On February 11, 2020, the City Council conditionally approved the proposed project, located at 2 Meta Way (formerly 300 Constitution Drive), accepting the Planning Commission recommendation from their January 13, 2020, meeting to approve the proposal by citizenM for a conditional development permit (CDP) amendment to increase the approved number of hotel rooms from 200 to 240 rooms and decrease the number of onsite parking spaces from 245 to 118 parking spaces. The approval allowed citizenM to move forward with its current construction of the hotel at the Meta (formerly Facebook) West Campus. The hotel use was previously approved as part of the conditional development permit for the Facebook Campus Expansion Project. The approximately 79,413-square-foot, five-story hotel includes 240 hotel rooms, a restaurant, and hotel amenities. The hotel design includes modular construction.

Current status

Subsequent to the approval of the CDP amendment by the City Council, the Planning Commission reviewed and took the following actions on the project:

  • April 11, 2022: Major modification to the Third Amended and Restated CDP for interior and exterior changes to the previously approved hotel building and changes to the landscaping and on-site circulation.
  • May 15, 2023: Sign review for two new wall-mounted signs and one freestanding monument sign that would feature bright colors (specifically red), as well as lettering greater than 24 inches in size for the two wall-mounted signs.
  • June 5, 2023: Review of the location and size of the artwork installation. The design of any exterior lighting for the artwork would be subject to future Planning Commission review.
  • August 12, 2024: Review of the exterior lighting of the artwork installation.

The citizenM Hotel completed final occupancy in Fall 2024. The hotel, including its lobby bar/restaurant, is currently open. A separate restaurant space is not currently occupied.
