The transformation of the former Comfort Inn into the Holiday Inn Express Indianapolis Airport Area North exemplifies G Con Construction’s expertise in hotel repositioning and brand conversion. This project required not just renovation, but a complete re-envisioning of the property—from infrastructure to aesthetics—to meet the elevated standards of the IHG brand. Through strategic planning, efficient execution, and close collaboration with ownership and brand representatives, G Con successfully delivered a modern, high-performance hotel ready to serve today’s travelers with comfort and reliability.
The repositioning included a full redesign of guestrooms, public areas, and the exterior façade to align with the contemporary Holiday Inn Express prototype. Inside, every detail was refreshed—from updated furniture and lighting to new finishes and fixtures—enhancing both style and function. Mechanical and structural systems were upgraded to improve energy efficiency and operational dependability, while exterior enhancements modernized curb appeal and reinforced the property’s visibility within the competitive airport corridor.
With this conversion, G Con Construction transformed an aging asset into a vibrant, brand-compliant hotel positioned for long-term success. The result is a property that not only reflects IHG’s “Smart Stay” philosophy but also strengthens the hospitality landscape along the busy west-side airport market of Indianapolis.





The successful repositioning of the Holiday Inn Express Indianapolis Airport Area North highlights G Con Construction’s ability to transform existing properties into renewed, high-value assets. By blending creative vision with technical precision, G Con delivered a complete rebrand that revitalized the property and elevated its market standing. This project underscores G Con’s ongoing commitment to redefining hospitality through quality, efficiency, and forward-thinking construction.
