The Westin Hotel Expansion
New 34-story hotel and residential tower
In 2006, Odeh Engineers was engaged by the Procaccianti Group, one of the largest hotel owners in the United States, to develop a new flagship property in the heart of downtown Providence. The Westin Hotel and Residences is attached to the Rhode Island Convention Center. The tower includes ground level lobby and restaurants, a six-level parking garage, ten levels of luxury hotel rooms, and 15 levels of high-end residential units topped with a three-story penthouse.
The Odeh team designed a cost-effective, flat-plate reinforced concrete system with jump-formed concrete shear towers to allow for a fast-track construction schedule. Completed in 2008, the building is one of the tallest cast-in-place concrete structures in New England.
