GK Engineers provided design-build mechanical engineering support to Comfort Systems USA on this 14-story, dual-brand Hyatt Place and Hyatt House in the Texas Medical Center. The two hotels share one tower with 298 rooms. GK’s scope was mechanical only; electrical and plumbing were by others.

Working for the mechanical contractor, GK reviewed the HVAC design, redesigned it where needed, and sealed it for City of Houston permit. Dedicated outdoor air risers serve every guest room floor, with vertical terminal units in the guest rooms and mini-splits in support and back-of-house spaces. Hyatt brand-standard slot diffusers carry through the first-floor public spaces, and the commercial laundry exhaust was designed around three dryers and an ironer.

The hotels opened in 2023. Comfort Systems brought GK back in 2024 for follow-up on the laundry exhaust.
