A major construction milestone was recently celebrated with the ceremonial topping off of the 976-room Signia by Hilton Atlanta, located in Georgia. Owned by Georgia World Congress Center Authority and managed by Hilton Management Services, Signia by Hilton Atlanta is the city’s largest downtown ground-up hotel development project in 40 years.
The 453-foot-high hotel, built on the repurposed foundation of the Georgia Dome, will connect to the Georgia World Congress Center when it opens in January 2024. The publicly owned property has created nearly 1,000 new employment opportunities during its construction and will support nearly a thousand new jobs delivering millions in direct economic benefits and additional tax revenues to the state and the city during its operation.
Incorporating feedback from meeting professionals, guests, owners and developers, Signia by Hilton was created to solve for critical gaps in the industry and infuses sophisticated travel and premium experiences into every aspect of the stay for business and leisure guests.
Drew Company is the developer for the 1.25-million-square-foot property with Gensler as the architect and a joint venture between Skanska and SG Contracting as the general contractor. More than 1 million hours have been worked to date on a site that routinely sees 600-plus workers onsite at peak.
The 42-story hotel contains 5,000-plus truckloads of concrete and features 302,728 square feet of glass.
