Project Update: TRU by Hilton, Augusta

TRU by Hilton in Augusta, GA

Our team recently completed the design for the TRU by Hilton hotel in Augusta, Georgia. This project is being developed and constructed by Paragon Hotel Company. The design is a prototypical representation of the TRU by Hilton product, a sub-brand of Hilton Worldwide designed to compete with other select service models in the area. The design of TRU by Hilton was intended to be scalable so properties could fit in any location, no matter the unique parameters. 

COR3 is no stranger to the TRU by Hilton design, as we have designed several of the same brand in locations across the southeast.
