Description:

The Element Hotel by Westin in San Jose is a five-story, 175-room extended-stay hotel totaling 115,000 square feet. Built with sustainability in mind and designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, the hotel is located in the Coleman Highline development—directly across the street from San Jose International Airport and adjacent to PayPal Park.

Project documentation included construction progress photography, aerial drone photography, and a timelapse video of the concrete podium slab pour. Due to the property's proximity to Class C airspace, aerial operations required advanced coordination with the FAA and adherence to controlled airspace protocols.

Upon completion, a final architectural photo set and marketing video were produced, showcasing the hotel’s contemporary design, black and white metal panel cladding, corten steel accents, and standout amenities including an open-air pool, fitness center, and fully equipped guest rooms.
