Momentum continues on the future Hyatt Place Phoenix Downtown hotel as developers, Mortenson and Pacific Hospitality Group, took a substantial step in the construction process for the hotel, and recently celebrated the topping out of the building. The 238-room, eight-story hotel broke ground in March 2020, and construction continues to be on schedule, with plans to open September 2021.
Located at the corner of Adams St. and 2nd Ave., the urban hotel’s concrete structure was topped out, completing the placement of 4,664 yards of concrete over the last four months. Mortenson and their concrete trade partner, Suntec Concrete, in addition to other trade partners, celebrated the achievement with a safety lunch in October. Having worked 50,232 hours since groundbreaking, without a single injury, workers were recognized for their commitment to a safe project site.
Additionally, in conjunction with achieving the topping out milestone, Mortenson and Pacific Hospitality Group also completed the full build of the model room. In executing the full-size model room this early in construction, it allows all stakeholders involved to vet out potential construction conflicts before they arise, prevents rework and ensures expectations from the designer, builder, developer and Hyatt are all in alignment.
