Skanska, in partnership with SG Contracting, has accomplished a milestone with the construction of the luxury hotel, Signia by Hilton Atlanta.

The hotel is a $331 million construction project, serving as the headquarters for the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA).

Situated on the northwest corner of the GWCCA campus, the 116,129-m² (1.25-million-sf) building stands tall at 42 stories and 976 guest rooms, overlooking the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The hotel features contemporary designs, state-of-the-art technology, and a lobby with locally inspired architecture. Boasting more than 9290-m² (100,000-sf) of flexible meeting space, the property touts the largest hotel ballroom in Georgia and includes an outdoor event deck and an outdoor event lawn, as well as three boardrooms. Boston-based Drew Company is the developer for the property with Gensler as the architect.

The 976-room Signia by Hilton Atlanta, built on the repurposed foundation of the Georgia Dome, is the city’s largest downtown ground-up hotel development project in 40 years.

“In the midst of the global challenges presented by the pandemic, navigating the complexities of this project demanded a strong commitment to safety, adaptability, and collaboration,” says Mark Pasciuto, Skanska project executive. “The team worked more than two million hours to deliver this incredible project, ensuring that the construction of the Signia by Hilton Atlanta not only met but exceeded expectations.”
