Project Type
TACK Builders, Inc staff provided general contracting for this 14-story, 1966 office building conversion into a 15-story 250,000 SF, 401-room hotel* located near LAX Airport.Â
The building conversion required extensive seismic retrofitting and structural modifications to the waffle-decked non-ductile concrete frame that included carbon fiber column strengthening, and installation of five shear walls extending from the basement level up through the roof.
The rooftop features a swimming pool and restaurant penthouse level. This was possible with the addition of six feet above the existing roof, creation of two- 14’ x 10’ light wells cut into the building core from the second floor thru the roof, the underpinning of an (E) interior column to allow taller elevators plus two sub-grade air intake wells.
The elevators were modernized and/or replaced with the elevator shafts being extended to serve the new penthouse and better serve the basement. All MEP and fire protection systems were replaced. A 40,000 gallon fire water storage vessel and a 30,000 gallon SUSMP vessel were added. Finally, two kitchens and two bars were also added.
*This project reflects the experience of TACK Builders, Inc. team members and Kajima USA affiliated companies.
