Hilton Homewood Suites rendering
Boston – The official ground breaking ceremony was held recently for Claremont Companies’ Hilton Homewood Suites in Brookline.
Group One Partners, Inc., the hotel architect, interior designer, and purchasing agent, is working with Tocci Building Companies, R.W. Sullivan Engineering, and Goldstein Milano on the Claremont Companies’ property. The 97,775sf, 130-room extended stay hotel will occupy the space of the former Red Cab site that has been vacant for more than 20 years.
“This is an interesting project as the hotel is located on Route 9, a major east-west highway in the state,” says Harry Wheeler AIA, LEED, NCARB, principal of Group One. “To meet Brookline’s Sky Plane zoning requirements, our design allows for five stories on the Route 9 side of the building while gradually decreasing to two stories on the back side. This provides an urban street-side profile while being respectful of neighboring housing and residents.”
A Building Information Model (BIM) of the Brookline Homewood Suites will be developed to coordinate project systems, streamline the construction process, and communicate its mitigation plan to the project team and community.
The upscale all-suite hotel will set a new standard in the Brookline area, offering guests convenient like-home comforts and quality bundled services in a transit-friendly environment.
The hotel is set to open in December 2015.
