How do you build a hotel and parking garage in the middle of a busy downtown without disrupting everything around it?
It starts with planning, teamwork, a safety-first mindset, and a lot of Baker grit.
Our team is helping bring the Tempo by Hilton Hotel & Garage to life in Virginia Beach, VA. The 116,000-square-foot, podium-style project includes five elevated slabs and more than 6,100 cubic yards of concrete, all on an aggressive schedule.
With the site surrounded by active streets, businesses, pedestrians, and vehicle traffic, every move matters. We have worked closely with Core 22, the City of Virginia Beach, suppliers, and neighboring businesses to coordinate road closures, sequence deliveries, and safely execute concrete placements while keeping the project moving forward.
One of the project's most unique features is the tower crane, erected within the building footprint itself and now a familiar part of the downtown skyline.
Projects like this are the reason why our co-workers choose to work with Baker. The work can be challenging, but they are building their legacy in communities across the U.S.
