Company officials are calling the project "a reinvention" of the property. "It's being completed in conjunction with Sheraton's global effort to revitalize their brand with a comprehensive new design of lobbies and guest rooms," says Buccini/Pollin president Dave Pollin. "Our plans are extensive."

Plans call for a redo of the hotel's lobby and other common areas, as well as a remodeling of all 276 guest rooms. The hotel's 15,000 sf of meeting space, including two ballrooms, will get a similar treatment.

The affiliate BPGS Construction is handling that aspect of the project. And another Buccini/Pollin affiliate, PM Hospitality Strategies Inc., manages the property and is overseeing the renovation.

"Since we began managing the Sheraton Edison in November of 2007, we have been in constant contact with the hotel's clientele," says PMHS president Greg Miller. "From focus groups to demand-based research, the hotel will be a product of that research."

The hotel is located at 125 Raritan Center Pkwy., within Raritan Center, said to be the largest business park east of the Mississippi River. The location is near the confluence of the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Pkwy., Route 440 and I-287 in Middlesex County. The hotel is also adjacent to the New Jersey Convention and Exhibition Center.
