The Rhythm City Hotel is a seven-story structure comprised of post-tension concrete decks along with concrete columns and shear walls. This structure is built on auger cast piles as the foundation under all slabs on grade and basement structure. McCarthy Improvement was responsible for the structural build-out. The decks were poured in two sections; an east and a west half with a pour strip in the middle. McCarthy finished its portion of the project with a crew of crafts including operators, finishers, carpenters, ironworkers, and teamsters.
The finished structure was left ready for the finishing touches of interior decorating by others. This project was part of a new casino/events center with an attached hotel near Interstate 74 & 80 in Davenport, Iowa. The total project covered 285,000 sq. ft. consisting of the hotel, gaming floor, events center, and other related facilities.
