Tampa developers are preparing to break ground on a dual-flag Marriott International hotel in downtown Tampa's Channel district.

McKibbon Hospitality is behind the 13-story, 310-key AC-Moxy Hotel at 111 N. Meridian Ave. A new construction permit was filed with the city of Tampa for the 28,244-square-foot hotel on Jan. 26. Plans were filed with the Southwest Water Management District on Thursday for a minor modification to increase approximately 920 square feet of new paved surfaces, which is needed before the developer can break ground.
