Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa, Sausalito – Midstate Construction contracted with Oly Casa Madrona and Olympus Real Estate to remodel the Village Fair retail shops in Sausalito into thirty one luxury guest rooms. This expansion to the existing Casa Madrona hotel created a world class destination resort in the Bay Area.

The original building, erected in 1924, was known as the Mason Building and was used primarily as a parking facility for travelers using the ferry to and from San Francisco. The building space was used for everything from bootlegging to warehouse space until its conversion in 1964 to the Village Fair retail shops and café.

A newly constructed bridge connects the spacious suites and spa treatment rooms to the main hotel. The guest room expansion occupies the top two floors, with a red brick courtyard linking the top story master suites with Avanyu Spa. The spa includes eight treatment and steam rooms, a frosted glass walled relaxation room, and other rooms designated for specialty purposes. Guests are treated to elegant, Mediterranean décor with spectacular views of the Bay, Tiburon and Belvedere in a tranquil and relaxing environment.

Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, Sonoma - Midstate Construction has recently completed the historic Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. The renovation consisted of exterior improvements as well as a complete mechanical and aesethetic remodel of 99 rooms, lobby and office in three phases. The schedule and work environment were very tight but the team worked in unison to succesfully meet the owners occupancy needs. One of the stringent requirements of this remodel was the hotel’s historical landmark classification. Certain requirements were placed upon the aesthetics, architecture and modernization which required an extra step of construction management. To ensure continued guest comfort and energy conservation the mechanical refurnishings included an overhaul of the climate control per room; each room is now equipped with an unobtrusive heat pump and A/C unit on the roof. New energy efficient double paned windows were installed, utilizing internal mechanisms designed to avoid depreciating or otherwise changing the aesthetic of the hotel. After the main reopening of the lobby and rooms in the first phase, construction continued on the second and third phases. This included the completion of the remaining rooms and office. Each phase had an independent opening.

The most visible change to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is the approach and valet station at the main guest entry. Three obtrusive eucalyptus trees were removed and a circular display was built around a large centered Elm tree. The circular arrangement is enhanced by the newly built valet station which provides a pleasing symmetrical view of the exterior elevation. The new guest entry is complementary to the beauty of this historical landmark building.
