This 16-story, 70-year-old office building was transformed into a rehabilitated Hyatt Hotel. Hyatt Place is a historical conversion and structural steel redevelopment of the mid-century AT&T Building into a contemporary all-suite Hyatt Place Hotel. Located in Downtown Houston, all sixteen floors were demo-ed while the exterior of the building remained the same. The interior features remodeling and buildout of 150-rooms with separate workspaces, an engaging lobby, meeting spaces, a business center and media center, conference rooms, dining areas, a pool and fitness center — each floor is 6,000-SF. The exterior façade returned to its former glory with a historically correct facelift for its mid-century design and includes extensive structural steel modifications. This historic building is part of downtown Houston's continuing revitalization, rehabilitation, and preservation conversion; and was built by Houston developer Jesse H. Jones in 1950. Our team replaced the old generator with a new — lifting the 15,000 lb. generator over the 16-story building with a crane which was longer than one city block (see video adjacent).
