The Houston Marriott Marquis Hotel opened on Dec. 26, 2016, just before Super Bowl LI festivities began. Amenities at the $350-million, 1.2-million-sq-ft hotel include two restaurants and a sixth-floor amenity deck overlooking Discovery Green Park and the hotel’s Texas-shaped lazy river.

Crews installed more than 20,000 individual lighting fixtures, including grand ballroom chandeliers. To help offset traffic congestion in and around the tight jobsite located in an urban setting, the team developed a delivery schedule to coordinate incoming shipments of materials and a “hold schedule” of non-critical shipments that kept some items off site until evening hours for later installation.
