CitizenM, a Netherlands-based chain of affordable luxury hotels has opened its second Boston location at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Boylston and Newbury streets as part of the planned development of Parcel 12. More than half of the project is located over the Massachusetts Turnpike, one of the busiest highways in the country, with the buildings sitting atop an elevated podium.
Walters was responsible for complex design support and fabrication of tree nodes and tree columns, engineering connections, detailing, fabrication and erection of steel grating and steel deck.
Our scope included supplying an interesting 3-legged inverted tripod system that holds up one end of the hotel. Approximately 230 Tons of steel required us to hold extremely tight fabrication tolerances. The installation was completed in September 2022.
