Envoy Hotel - 70 Sleeper Street - Boston, MA

Boston, MA Maiuri Electrical Corp. has completed comprehensive electrical construction of the new Envoy Hotel at 70 Sleeper St. in the Seaport District. The six-story, 88,000 s/f, 136-room Envoy Hotel, complete with its rooftop Lookout Bar and function area, overlooks Fort Point Channel and Rowes Wharf. 

Maiuri’s multifaceted scope entailed installation of the hotel’s primary power system, bringing a 1600A - 480/277V electrical service to the building, as well as installing the facility’s 250KW rooftop emergency generator.  For life safety, the Envoy is equipped with a new, addressable Simplex Grinnell fire alarm system.  The boutique hotel’s custom interior lighting package is controlled via an advanced Lutron Dimming System in the lobby and also on the rooftop deck bar and restaurant. The NECA contractor also installed exterior lighting, including facade lighting and city of Boston lighting poles. In addition, an emergency phone/egress system in elevator lobbies, were installed by Maiuri.

Maiuri’s electrical crew, comprised of ten IBEW Local 103 electricians, was headed by project manager Thomas Buckley and foreman John Downing.

The Envoy’s tight 20,000 s/f site, which serves as the gateway to Seaport Sq., presented logistical challenges adeptly met by Maiuri and the entire construction team. Located across from the Moakley Federal Courthouse, the project faced ongoing road closures which impacted daily material deliveries, and despite these challenges the NECA Boston contractor completed construction of the 18-month project as scheduled.  Mauiri was an integral member of general contractor Lee Kennedy Company’s team, employing LEAN construction practices throughout to ensure the cost-effective quality construction and project delivery. The project team included ADD Inc, R.G. Vanderweil Engineers and owner Norwich Partners.

Maiuri Electrical also provided fit-out of the hotel’s new ground level 4,000 s/f restaurant, Outlook Kitchen + Bar.  

The Envoy Hotel is a Marriott Signature Series property.

“The Lee Kennedy project team, headed by senior project manager Dan Lebiedz and project manager Marc Buchan, provided a great, cooperative working environment, which was critical to Mauiri Electric’s ability to meet the many logistical challenges and was key to the project’s success,” said Buckley.
