NGC Tops Out at Hyatt Place Hotel in colorado SPrings

NGC would like to acknowledge a Top Out Event achievement! A wonderful warm thank you goes out to all the trades and crews at Hyatt Place Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs for completing its structural steel milestone. The red, NGC-logoed beam was adorned with over 100 signatures, an NGC flag and the US flag. The final beam ascended seven stories to be commemoratively placed atop the building’s frame via NGC’s crane on a chilly December 3rd day. NGC hosted a Top Out celebration on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 with a Chick-fil-A hot box luncheon for crews and local officials from the city and key team members from the Hyatt Place Hotel.

The Hyatt Place construction is unique in its precision workspace lot lines; NGC is building the hotel within inches of its maximum site perimeter, and due to the tight configuration, ingenious methods to manage material deliveries and lay-down logistics is very imperative. The teams will continue to finish framing, with MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing), HVAC and FF&E slated to begin now and finish by Fall. View the KOAA News5 video here.
