A ground-up concrete structure which includes a 101,000 s/f hotel Turner Construction Company completes Hyatt Place National Harbor ahead of schedule
N
Turner's senior leadership team comprised of Brown, senior project manager Therese Swanson , and gen- eral superintendent Mike Eggleston directly applied lessons learned from previ- ous hotel experience to make the National Harbor project a success. During project start-up, pre-installation meetings served as a forum for trade partners to build re- lationships with Turner and relevant inspectors, as well as identify constraints prior to the start of work. With the implementation of lean construction tools, including pull plan sessions, a six-week look ahead constraint board and a short interval planning schedule, the team was con-
“The apartment community is ideally located west of Inter- state 95, in very close proxim- ity to two of the most popular retail destinations in Prince William County, Potomac Mills and Stonebridge at Po- tomac Town Center, as well as several other neighborhood centers and dining and shop- ping options.” Goodman also notes that the asset, which was originally constructed in 2010, was well maintained under previous in- stitutional ownership, further driving its tremendous upside potential and presenting rela- tively low risk. “We were able to secure this like-new property based in part on a long-term re- lationship with the seller,” continues Goodman. “While this is Passco’s first purchase from Fairfield Residential, our teams are well acquainted, go- ing back 30 years. It has been a delight to work together on this transaction.” According to Goodman, an- other key component to closing this acquisition was Passco’s willingness to work within an aggressive timeline and put up non-refundable money to facilitate a quick close. MAREJ sistently engaged with trade partners on maintaining contractual durations. The strong safety program, built on active caring, worked to enhance the project schedule with a Recordable Incident rate of zero and Lost Time Incident rate of zero. “I could not be more proud to have been part of such a successful project delivery,” said Turner's Superinten- dent, Deirdre O’Hara. “On this project I learned that a safe jobsite is one that is hon- est, happy and hardworking.” The Hyatt Place at National Harbor is a ground-up con- crete structure which includes a 101,000 s/f hotel. The project is expected to achieve LEED v4 Certified. MAREJ

Passco adds 200-unit multifamily community in supply-constrained Northern VA submarket
WOODBRIDGE, VA — Passco Companies , a pri- vately held California-based commercial real estate com- pany has acquired The Pre- serve at Catons Crossing, a 200-unit, mid-rise apartment community in the Northern Virginia submarket of Wood- bridge, Virginia. Passco was attracted to The Preserve at Catons Crossing based on the asset’s strong track record and location in a submarket that has no mul- tifamily development in the pipeline, despite several de- mand drivers and strong po- sitioning for further growth, according to Gary Goodman , the firm’s senior vice president of acquisitions. “This opportunity to acquire this solid core asset in a stabi- lized, supply-constrained mar- ket is perfectly aligned with our multifamily investment strategy,” said Goodman. “With no competing properties under construction nor in lease-up, we anticipate healthy, sus- tained resident demand.” Goodman explains that the asset, which has maintained an occupancy rate of 95% and higher throughout the pan- demic, will benefit from a di -
