Construction has been completed on the now up and running Homewood Suites by Hilton Irvine/John Wayne Airport.

The project was Irvine-based R.D. Olson Construction’s first partnership with hotel management and development company DKN Hotels, also based in Irvine.

“When presented with the opportunity to partner on a project in our own backyard, we gladly accepted the job,” said Bill Wilhelm, president of R.D. Olson Construction in a statement. “Our deep-rooted experience in hospitality made this a perfect new endeavor with DKN Hotels, and we enjoyed working with them to deliver a top-notch product for our community.”

The Homewood Suites is a 161-room, four-story hotel. It has a business center, 1,500 square feet of meeting space and a food market.

R.D. Olson Construction also recently finished work on the Country Inns & Suites by Carlson, a 174-room hotel in the Anaheim Resort District and a 200-room Residence Inn by Marriott hotel in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii.

The company also is working on Lido House Hotel in Newport Beach, the Irvine Spectrum Marriott and the Residence Inn by Marriott Santa Barbara/Goleta.

Eleven hotels are scheduled to open this year, according to Irvine-based Atlas Hospitality Group.
