Solution

Catalyst Construction, as general contractor, delivered a four-story Homewood Suites designed to Hilton brand specs, including:

• 107 suites with kitchens and living areas
• Meeting space and business center
• Indoor pool and fitness center
• Lobby lounge and dining/breakfast area
• Outdoor patio and grilling space for long-stay guests

Coordinated site improvements as part of the larger Drexel Town Square North development, which also included a Water Street Brewery and office buildings. Utilities, stormwater, and traffic flow had to serve multiple simultaneous builds. Managed Hilton’s strict brand QA/QC process: FF&E procurement, fire/life-safety systems, ADA compliance, and energy standards. Sequenced work around supply chain challenges during 2020-2021, maintaining schedule through proactive subcontractor management and phased deliveries.

• Positioned Oak Creek to attract business travel, relocations, and long-stay visitors, driving economic growth and hotel tax revenue.
• Reinforced Catalyst’s expertise in hospitality construction, balancing brand compliance with local developer goals.
• Delivered during a challenging construction climate (pandemic era), showing Catalyst’s reliability under pressure.
