Tishman Construction Corp. of Mass. (TCCMA) is serving as construction manager for the $14 million renovation of the Copley Sq. Hotel for its owner, CapStar Copley, LLC.

Interior features will include new lobby décor, decorative silver light fixtures, candle niches, and metallic-sheen window treatments and redesigned guestrooms.
