Western Red Cedar For Hotel

Highlighting the growing use of wood products in hotel construction, the $58 million, 300 room Le Meridien resort hotel has opened in the San Diego/Coronado, Ca.

In keeping with the elegant and picturesque Coronado community with its renowned 100 year old allwood Hotel Del Coronardo, the resort is clad in light stained western red cedar siding.

More than a quarter million linear feet of 1x8 inch select knotty western red cedar siding was used on the grouping of three story structures and the 28 unit villa complex.

The 425,000 sq. ft. project makes extensive use of western red cedar dimension materials in railing, stairs and landscaping. Heavy laminated wood arbors over the front entrance and the poolside dining area complement the design.

Yard Loses Land-Again

Mission City Lumber & Millwork has moved to San Jose, Ca., after the state acquired its Santa Clara, Ca., property through condemnation.

Mission City reportedly becomes the first firm to lose its property twice through condemnation, since a portion of the company's 46-year-old home was acquired in 1961 by the city of Santa Clara to build an overpass.

The firm has also revised its name to Mission City Millwork & Lumber Co. to emphasize its main business focus.
