StayApt Suites
Lafayette

The Project

StayApt Suites is a growing national extended-stay hotel brand built for guests who need a place that functions like an apartment, not a hotel room. Their Lafayette, Louisiana location is a four-story, full-service property with a distinctive exterior: dark brick base, blue and white panel accents, and a multi-story curtainwall entry tower that defines the brand's street presence.

This project represents ACG operating outside Florida — a national GC, a national hospitality brand, and a glazing scope that required the same precision and coordination ACG delivers on every project regardless of geography. Rycon Construction brought ACG to Lafayette because they needed a glazing sub they could trust. ACG delivered.

The Scope

ACG executed the complete glazing package for the building: the multi-story curtainwall system on the main entry tower — the signature architectural feature visible from the parking lot and the road — the commercial storefront at the lobby entry, and the window units on all four floors across both wings.

The twilight photo captures what a well-executed curtainwall looks like when the building is occupied and lit from within. Every mullion aligned, every glass unit seated correctly, the lobby glowing behind the glass exactly as the architect intended. That's what ACG brings to every project it takes on — in Florida or anywhere else.

The glazing package on StayAPT Suites Lafayette included hotel storefront and window package. ACG specified, supplied, and installed ESWindows — manufactured by ACG's six approved partner lines: ESWindows, Euro-Wall, PGT, Allegion, TGP, and Slimpact.

The scope was sequenced to Rycon Construction's field schedule, with weekly coordination meetings, RFI turn-around inside 24 hours, and submittals tracked against the construction critical path. ACG's three-office Florida footprint (West Palm Beach HQ, Naples, Tampa) keeps a project supervisor within driving distance of every active job site, and the Lafayette location pulled supervision out of our Tampa office.

Why this matters for the Lafayette market. StayAPT Suites Lafayette is not just another envelope. Out-of-state hotel project (Lafayette, LA). Subcontractors who deliver here build a body of evidence GCs and developers can verify — first-pass inspection clearance, on-time turnover, accurate submittals, no callback claims. Those four metrics are how a glazing sub gets called back, and they are the entire reason ACG was selected for this scope.

For developers and GCs evaluating subcontractors for similar work in Lafayette or surrounding Lafayette LA County, StayAPT Suites Lafayette is on our portfolio precisely because it represents the standard of execution we hold across every project, regardless of size.
