These materials are also sustainable and durable, ensuring the design is built to last.

The site is located at 18 Trenton Ave., constructed on a floodplain above a creek. The topography slopes downward into a semivalley in this area. An existing retaining wall on the north side of the building helps prevent water from flooding onto the site.
Upon arrival at the Heritage Hotel, guests are warmly greeted by valet staff who assist with their luggage, directing them to the baggage claim office.
Stepping through the front doors, they are welcomed into a lobby that features a lively bar and lounge area. At the check-in desk, guests receive their room and bike locker keys and make their way up to their accommodations for a delightful stay.
