Let’s move on to commercial real estate in San Francisco. We are going to share with you something novel and interesting having to do with the hotel industry.

The Bay Area is having its first modular hotel being built. It’s location is 550 Gateway Blvd, in South San Francisco. It will be a 144 room Home2 Suites by Hilton. Southern Hospitality Services is developing the hotel, and Akshar Development is building it. There is the expectation that the hotel will be completed by Spring of 2019.

This hotel is going to be a test case in how hotels can be built quicker. Also, building modular hotels in North American is Marriott International.

Some benefits of modular hotel construction:
1. The construction is of high quality.
2. It can cut the time of construction in as little as a half compared to a traditional build.
3. The return on investment for owners is quicker.

The modular units are being built in Boise, Idaho and being transported to the Home2 Suites by Hilton at the San Francisco Airport North.

There are separate sleeping and living areas, as well as in-room kitchens.

The hospitality industry of the Bay Area is behind in fulfilling the need for hotels, and using modular construction is a more expedient way to catch up.

Can you imagine that crews have the expectation put on them to be able to have 8 to 10 units installed each day? And crews are to complete common spaces, corridors, and exteriors after the crane install process is done.
