At Campbell Lodging we are always looking for new, innovative development opportunities. We continue to watch market trends and look for opportunities that can be both rewarding and profitable for our owners. As we have done with our own portfolio over the years, we manage our development growth cautiously and we develop in strong performing segments and locations.
It can usually take years to research, design, submit and obtain for permits, build and finally open a new hotel development. For these reasons our team takes the time necessary to evaluate each project individually and spends countless hours on research and feasibility analysis before ever presenting a new development for consideration. We realize that each market is different and not every market can justify a new hotel.
The recent economy has presented many new and exciting opportunities as existing properties have come to market. The need to continue pursuing property acquisitions in addition to new development is an area that we watch closely and act upon when the right opportunities present themselves.
Deciding on the right brand is something that requires experience and an understanding of individual markets. We evaluate multiple brands for each location and select only a brand that is best suited for that market. If the brands we select are not available we will simply move on.
Campbell Lodging has partnered with West-Cal Construction for over 40 years with the building of all of our hotel developments. Together we have built well over 100 hotels in the Western half of the United States. Tried and true methods have been learned, modified and repeated when appropriate to maximize the owners experience. As a result of our experience, we have cut construction times down to a minimum. These efficiencies allow for less time owing money to the lending institutions and more time earning money for our owners.
Experience: Nearly 30 years experience and over 100 hotels built ranging from budget ( Motel 6, Super 8, etc.) to Select Service (Hilton Garden Inn, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, etc.) and all in between ( Fairfield Inn & Suites and TownePlace Suites by Marriott, Hampon Inn & Suites, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, etc.)
Quality Control- Order inspections, walk the property with the franchisor, negotiate PIP or renovation scope, obtain bids, oversee work, accurate administrative processes.
Completed on Time: Estimate cost and prepare timeline, schedule work (seasonal & event planning), oversee work to completion.
Cost Control: 35 years experience creating synergies for dependable and affordable sub-contractors, industry best pricing, work-scope knowledge for improved design producing more efficient results.
Value Engineering Options: Our experience has fostered choices from luxury and stylistic choices to more economical and practical options.
Types of Construction Services Offered:
“Turnkey Completion” where we build the hotel, order and place the FF&E package and deliver a ready to operate property to the Operations team to take over and operate. We coordinate areas and periods for the Opt Team to come in and “get ready” to open the property.
“Shell Ready” where we build the hotel for you and hand it oer for you to furnish the FF&E and the owner provides their own management team.
“Build to Suit” where we take your plans, site location and loan program and build the hotel exactly as you desire. This is the best way to save significant dollars on the cost of a hotel. We only draw a minor fee (typically added on to the construction fee) while we oversee the entire entitlement and construction process for you.
“Spec Build” where we use our own funds and loans to build the hotel. This is the best way to minimize your risk prior to actually opening the hotel and is required by some larger institutional owners (such as REIT’s).
