12-story full-service hotel with available meeting space and dining amenities connected to an existing health club and spa.
The Project
A $38 million, 12-story, full-service hotel with a 4,500 SF ballroom, meeting space, shell space for a full-service restaurant, and a connection to the existing health club and spa.
Structural Features
The building is post-tensioned concrete for the tower portion and conventionally-reinforced concrete for the parking levels. Challenges included tying into the existing adjacent parking garage and the connection to the existing health club and spa. Portions of the hotel were constructed above the existing two-level garage some which required the addition of a building expansion joint and installing new foundations within the existing building. The entire building is supported on drilled piers which had to be strategically placed to clear existing utilities and the existing garage foundations.
