The Langham Chicago

TGRWA provided structural engineering services for the conversion of about a quarter of the existing historic office tower into a luxury hotel along the riverfront in the trendy River North neighborhood. The 350,000 sq. ft., 11-story space, 316 guestroom hotel is a Langham Hotel brand created within the existing approximate 1,500,000 sq. ft., 52-story building. The existing steel framed structure was renovated with new steel framing. Renovations included interior redevelopment of each floor, a 2-story lobby, a 2-story ballroom, a restaurant, a swimming pool, new elevators, and a new entrance canopy. The 2-story spaces were created by demolition portions of the intermediate floor.
