Swinerton to construct $30M hotel in Georgia

Swinerton has been chosen as the general contractor for the construction of the Chambray Hotel, a five-story property in Roswell, GA. The hotel, which will be part of the JdV by Hyatt soft brand, is being developed by a joint venture between DSM Real Estate Partners and Garage Cap.

“Our team of hospitality builders has ample experience in complex environments like the Chambray Hotel that requires well-timed logistics, especially with tight site conditions as the site is surrounded on all four sides by streets or occupied buildings,” said Roya Vermillion, preconstruction executive, Swinerton’s Atlanta Division.

The Chambray Hotel will feature 125 rooms. The structure is slated to be steel and masonry with hollow core precast floor decks. The construction team plans to utilize OpenSpace, a 3D modeling technology that collects data via helmet devices during walk-throughs to deliver exact models of the space for documentation, reference and planning purposes. Vermillion explained, “This tool is vital to our success on this project by establishing efficiencies and maximizing precision.”

In addition to luxury guestrooms, the hotel will feature multiple dining options including a ground-floor restaurant and a rooftop eatery. Additional amenities will include 1,300 sq. ft. of flexible meeting space, a fitness center and a 24-hour market. Located in the city’s Historic District, the design draws inspiration from the area’s mill vernacular while incorporating contemporary details, all complemented by artwork from local artists and artisans, according to Swinerton.

“This development also allows us to expand our self-perform offerings to a new area, which will inevitably result in cost and time savings for the client,” said Derek Mosiman, VP/division manager, Swinerton’s Atlanta Division. “We are thrilled to be involved in such a pivotal project that brings much-needed hospitality amenities to the popular Downtown Roswell neighborhood.”
