The exterior and architectural elements went through an extensive renovation to meet the brand requirements for Formula Blue.

The 6-story hotel was renovated in 2 months with various teams working collectively for a fast turnaround. All rooms, hallways and public areas were renovated and upgraded from the previous interior designs. Along with the hotel, the parking lot went through an overlay.

Holiday Inn Express is undergoing a major renovation estimated cost $2.5M to convert the property to New Formula Blue theme. 

This is a unique property as it was not built as a Holiday Inn there is a lot of modifications that will need to be made in Rooms & Public area. 

We have completed the 1st phase, the 2nd phase is in the initiation process. There will be 3-4 phases and expected to be completed by End of March 2019.  

Numbers/Budgeted & Variances: Phase 1- Exterior Paint, Landscaping & parking Lot completed 10-12% under budget & under scheduled time by well-synchronized planning.

Time frames:  Completed before the anticipated time.

Room Revenue being impacted: NO room revenue been Impacted.

Challenges:  We had to complete the exterior phase before October Balloon Fiesta Which is the busiest week for the area. Our team did a great job by completing 1 week prior and leaves plenty of time for New Parking lot to cure for heavy traffic.
