Hello, and welcome to our newly relaunched website! You\u2019ll no doubt notice a number of new visual flourishes and layout changes, but one of the most exciting new things we\u2019re introducing is \u201cCollectively Speaking,\u201d our on-going blog series dedicated to the needs of hotel owners, developers and others seeking solutions for their hotel design and building needs. Each week, we\u2019ll address a new issue that directly impacts the hotel industry. This week let\u2019s talk about our new positioning and why we\u2019ve decided to move in this direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of you whom we have worked with during our nearly 30 year history will know us as Cornerstone Design, an award-winning interior design firm focused on the hospitality, commercial, multi-family, mixed-use and high-end residential markets. While interior design will remain our keystone, we are pivoting in a new direction to meet the realities of a post-pandemic world as we work with our partners to accelerate and simplify the hotel development process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The far reaching impact of the Covid-19 virus has changed the hotel business dramatically in terms of how some investors will approach development and design in the future. Over the coming years, a substantial number of hotels will change hands and go through repositioning. Development also will step up in response to an economic rebound. Speed and coordination will be key elements in how investors will generate the highest returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have fielded an increasing number of calls from developers and investors seeking a full-service, holistic approach rather than having to search and vet a full team from architecture to design, purchasing to landscaping. To meet this growing demand, we have assembled the full array of highly qualified experts experienced in repositioning and development that developers\/investors can source as a \u201cone-stop shop.\u201d This approach provides interested parties with an array of choices to quickly build a highly qualified team that can get underway immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time is money in hotel development. The quicker you get the project underway and completed, the faster you reduce costs and increase returns. We will provide owners with a choice of proven experts in each aspect of hotel development. We can help coordinate and accelerate the entire process to get an approved project underway and save as much as six months compared to a piecemeal approach. We also can reduce and speed the coordination of the intricacies of getting a project completed on time and on budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For these reasons, we believe now is the perfect time to head in this new direction. Collectively speaking, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
