Hotels into Homes.

Extended-stay hotels, older full-service properties, and select-service hotels are typically the strongest candidates. Properties with interior corridors, existing kitchen infrastructure (or plumbing rough-ins), and adequate square footage per room convert most efficiently. We evaluate structural layout, ceiling heights, plumbing stacks, and zoning compatibility during our feasibility assessment.

Most conversions range from 12-18 months depending on scope and unit count. Our vertically integrated model—with in-house electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, and painting crews—eliminates the subcontractor scheduling delays that plague traditional GCs. This typically shaves 20-30% off the timeline compared to competitors.

Hotel conversions typically cost 40-60% less than equivalent ground-up multifamily construction. You're leveraging an existing structure, foundation, parking, and often core MEP infrastructure. The savings are even greater when you factor in the reduced entitlement timeline—conversion projects often avoid the lengthy permitting process required for new construction.

This is where our vertical integration creates the biggest advantage. Hotel MEP systems are designed for transient occupancy, not permanent residential use. Our in-house electrical team upgrades panel capacity and wiring for residential loads (full kitchens, in-unit laundry). Our plumbing crews retrofit bathrooms and install complete kitchens. HVAC teams convert or replace systems for individual unit comfort control. Because these trades are all ITDG employees, coordination is seamless.

Yes. Adaptive reuse involves navigating complex building code requirements—change of occupancy classifications, fire and life-safety upgrades, ADA compliance, and local zoning approvals. Our preconstruction team manages the complete permitting process, working with local jurisdictions to identify requirements early and avoid surprises during construction.

We've delivered a full range of amenities across our conversion projects: renovated pool areas, fitness centers, community centers, recreation rooms, on-site laundry facilities, business centers, and outdoor gathering spaces. Former hotel banquet halls and conference rooms are excellent candidates for conversion into high-value community amenities that drive premium rents.
