Framing complete at Courtyard by Marriott
Edgewater NJ – Framing on the Courtyard by Marriott has been completed by PROCON of Manchester, N.H., the design-builder for the new hotel that XSS Hotels is developing, and Portsmouth-based Colwen Hotels will manage.
Construction on the five-story 93,000sf hotel designed to achieve LEED certification began in October, 2014 and is scheduled for completion in early 2016.
The first floor will feature common areas including a bar and lounge, meeting rooms, and an indoor pool and fitness area. Second through fifth floors will contain 156 guest rooms and suites. The traditional guest room concept is boosted by uniquely designed built-in storage spaces beneath the windows, with window treatments incorporated as part of the window casement.

The first-floor garage area masonry work is in progress with additional parking available adjacent to the site. Simultaneously, the fifth floor and roof are being constructed. The foundation for the hotel is based on a grade beam system, supported by 225 piles.
The second floor is concrete slab on deck, and the remaining three floors will be a wood-panelized structure.
With the framing complete and window installations under way, the plan is to have the Tyvek wrap and roofing installed, making the building weathertight in time for the fall-winter temperatures.
