Staybridge Suites Structural Steel Staggered Truss Hotel

Staybridge Suites Rendering
LaSalle & W. Huron
Chicago, IL
|
Nearly 5 years ago, AISC's Steel Solutions Center completed a conceptual study for a structural steel staggered truss hotel, and today the project is under construction! This is the FIRST Staggered Truss project in Chicago.
Staybridge Suites recently broke ground on its first downtown Chicago hotel, which will feature the city's first staggered truss structural steel system.
Shown in the rendering at the right, the Hotel is a joint venture of Dellisart Lodging, LLC, Atlanta, and Miglin Properties, LLC, Chicago. The 17-story luxury hotel consists of a structural steel system built on top of a poured-in-place concrete parking garage. The finished structure will include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites—209 in all. It is scheduled to open mid-2008.
Members of the Project Team Include:
• Owner/Developer - Miglin Properties, LLC, Chicago, IL
• Owner/Developer - Dellisart Lodging, LLC, Atlanta, GA
• Structural Engineer – Structural Affiliates International, Nashville, TN
• Architect – Valerio Dewalt Train, Chicago, IL
• General Contractor – Walsh Construction, Chicago, IL

What is the Staggered Truss Framing System?
Staggered truss structural steel framing is a story-high truss system that spans the entire width of the building with the trusses staggered from floor-to-floor. The system works in harmony with precast concrete plank, which is a light, dry, all-weather system. The benefits of staggered truss include more column-free space for design freedom, semi-finished floor and ceiling in one operation, lower foundation costs and seismic loads, as well as quicker erection and completion. For more information on the staggered truss structural framing system, please go to www.aisc.org/residential or contact The AISC Steel Solutions Center at 1-866-ASK-AISC or solutions@aisc.org.
