Level 3 Construction wins Marriott Tribute Portfolio conversion in San Diego

By AI, Created 9:51 PM UTC, June 04, 2026, /AGP/ – Level 3 Construction has been selected to lead the rebrand and conversion of the Four Points San Diego into a Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel. The late-2027 project will add redesigned rooms, new dining and event spaces, and a broader resort-style refresh in Kearny Mesa.

Why it matters: - The Four Points San Diego conversion will create one of only three Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotels in San Diego County. - The project is designed to reposition the 20-acre property as a more distinctive hospitality destination in Kearny Mesa. - The work comes as hotel owners continue to use conversions and rebrands to improve asset value without starting from scratch.

What happened: - Level 3 Construction, Inc. was selected by Alps Group of Hotels to lead the rebrand and conversion of Four Points San Diego. - The hotel is being transformed into a Marriott Tribute Portfolio property. - Completion is expected in late spring 2027. - Construction will continue while the hotel remains open at reduced capacity.

The details: - The project includes upgrades to guest rooms, public spaces, food and beverage venues, and building systems. - The finished hotel will feature 223 redesigned guest rooms. - Planned amenities include new dining and lounge concepts, including an outdoor speakeasy-style bar. - The design also calls for integrated indoor-outdoor gathering areas, an expanded pool deck with cabanas, a manicured lawn for events, an indoor golf simulator, and outdoor pickleball courts. - The property’s existing hangar-style event space and fitness center will be updated with new programming. - The hotel sits at 8110 Aero Drive on a 20-acre site adjacent to Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport. - The property includes a 9-hole golf course, a disc golf course, and a detached 8,500-square-foot event space used for events ranging from weddings to MMA competitions. - Alps Group of Hotels acquired the hotel in 2023 and first made guest experience enhancements before moving ahead with the full conversion. - Level 3 Construction has already completed strategic pre-construction planning and constructability review and is now building two full-scale model rooms. - Once the model rooms are approved, renovation of guest rooms and corridors will move forward. - Upgraded interiors will include new finishes, fixtures, and furnishings while keeping existing room layouts. - The project team includes Starck Architecture + Planning, Atwater Inc. Studio, McCullough Landscape Architecture, and Grizzly.

Between the lines: - Alps Group of Hotels is betting that a resort-style repositioning can make the site stand out in a market that is not known for many Tribute Portfolio options. - The model-room phase signals that ownership and brand representatives are tightly involved before the full rollout begins. - Keeping the hotel operating during construction suggests the owner wants to preserve revenue while the renovation unfolds.

What’s next: - Model rooms will be reviewed and approved before the wider guest-room and corridor renovation begins. - Later phases will focus on public areas, amenities, and event spaces. - The hotel will continue operating at reduced capacity throughout construction. - Level 3 Construction will oversee the full conversion and rebranding through completion. - The property will reopen as a Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel after the work wraps in 2027.

The bottom line: - Level 3 Construction is turning a longtime hotel asset into a higher-end, experience-driven destination with a clear brand reset and a broader amenity mix.
