Hampton Inn - Norwood, MA
The Norwood Hampton Inn was developed through the gut (total) renovation of a functionally obsolete hotel facility. Located on the well known "Auto Mile" in Norwood, Massachusetts the property is centrally located to service a trade area that encompasses the Route 128 / Route 1 corridor. While a technically difficult renovation program, this state of the art 139 room hotel was created through a fast track 10 month design build construction program. In addition to the complete demolition of all interior space, a new exterior wall, pushing out the structure by two feet, was placed on one-half of the building.
Development of the Norwood Hampton Inn benefited from the close collaboration with the hotel's management team. The goal was to create a product that would quickly garner market acceptance upon its reopening, leading to the construction of features such as an interior two story atrium lobby, the hotel received Hilton Hotels 2006 Conversion of the Year Award. As the right product for the right location, the hotel enjoyed immediate success upon opening in September of 2006.
