Modular building techniques are revolutionizing how projects are approached, completed, and experienced. A standout example of this innovative approach can be seen in the recent project completed by Homeway Commercial, a modular building company based in Deer Creek, Illinois. Their latest venture, a Holiday Inn Express and Suites Hotel showcasing the efficiency, quality, and potential of modular construction will soon begin to welcome guests.
.
Located in Boulder, Colorado, this new hotel will rise three stories above a basement parking garage and offers a spacious stay for its guests, all encapsulated within 79,415 square feet of meticulously designed space. What sets this project apart is not just its impressive scale but the way in which it was brought to life: through the use of 81 modular units.
.
Each of these units was crafted with precision and care at Homeway Commercial’s factory in Deer Creek, Illinois, before making the journey to Boulder. This process highlights the core advantages of modular construction: significant reductions in build time, minimized on-site disruption, and a level of quality control that traditional construction methods struggle to match.
.
The hotel boasts 135 guest rooms, each one a showcase of the innovative techniques employed by Homeway Commercial. From the moment guests step into their rooms, they’re greeted with fully installed furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), all integrated during the manufacturing process. This means that every room was guest-ready the moment it arrived on site, streamlining the final stages of the project and ensuring a level of finish that is both high-quality and consistent.

Behind this successful project stand Lamont Companies, the client who envisioned this modular masterpiece, and Base4 Architects, whose designs brought it to life. Their collaboration with Homeway Commercial is a prime example of how modular construction can meet and exceed the demands of modern hospitality projects, delivering efficiency without sacrificing design or comfort.
.
The Holiday Inn Express and Suites Hotel in Boulder is more than just a place for travelers to rest; it’s the future of construction. With each module pieced together like a giant puzzle, the project will exemplify how innovation, when applied to traditional industries, can produce extraordinary results. As guests enjoy their stay, they might not realize the groundbreaking techniques that made their comfortable and stylish rooms possible, but behind the scenes, Homeway Commercial and its partners are paving the way for a new era in construction—one modular unit at a time.
