Frampton Construction part of team delivering on dual-branded Hilton-Homewood Suites and Lowcountry Conference Center in Summerville

Charleston, S.C. – Frampton Construction Company, LLC, a regional full-service construction firm providing planning and design support, preconstruction, and construction services, has completed work on the Hilton Garden Inn-Homewood Suites/Summerville and Lowcountry Conference Center. The property, developed by Lowcountry Hotels, is located at the corner of Sigma Drive and Edge Street in Nexton, a 5,000-acre master-planned community in the heart of Charleston’s I-26 growth corridor in Summerville. The new facility opened to guests in March.

“The highly anticipated opening of this hotel and conference center is the culmination of years of hard work. We are incredibly thankful and excited to celebrate this achievement with the community and our project partners,” said Frampton Construction CEO Chad Frampton.

The dual-branded hotel features 250 rooms, resort amenities, and direct access to the connected Lowcountry Conference Center, which serves as the largest event space in the Summerville area. The space is designed to accommodate weddings, corporate events, conventions and more.

“We chose to build this property in Nexton because of its proximity to the region’s largest employers, such as Volvo Cars and Mercedes-Benz, and its walkability to nearby shopping and dining destinations like Nexton Square,” said Scott Fennell, president of Lowcountry Hotels.

In addition to a 7,000-square foot ballroom, the conference center offers two large meeting areas, which can each be divided into three rooms for breakout sessions or smaller events for a total of 14,000 square feet of meeting and event space. The expansive grand ballroom additionally features a unique rear entryway suited for automobile access to serve the area’s growing manufacturing facilities.

“The hotel and conference center were thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of Berkeley County’s residents and visitors and to support the business community’s efforts to foster the region’s growing job corridor,” said Brent Gibadlo, vice president and general manager of Nexton.

The dual-brand hotel concept caters to traditional and extended-stay guests by pairing two brands under one roof to consolidate amenity spaces and back-of-house-operations for maximum efficiency. Rooms range from standard business rooms to family sized suites. Guests can enjoy premier amenities including a full-service restaurant, bar and lounge, resort-style pool with cabana, several outdoor green spaces, workout facility, and business center.

Design services were provided by Memphis-based Bounds, Gillespie, Killebrew, Tushek Architects, PLLC.
