McKibbon Equities president J B McKibbon said: “Our team is thrilled to welcome this exciting new property to the portfolio.

“Asheville has solidified itself as a must-visit destination in the south and as we expand our footprint in North Carolina we couldn’t be prouder to share the beloved Moxy brand with this community and its visitors.”

The design and construction of the property were led by architect Winford Lindsey, with interior design by The Society, a Seattle-based hospitality design company.

McKibbon Places managed the project while Kellogg & Kimsey was the general contractor.

Asheville native Dexter Hazel oversees the day-to-day operations of Moxy and its sister property, Aloft Asheville Downtown, while Jamie Tudico is appointed as the market director of sales.
