Hyatt Place at the Markham

Hotel Markham was built and opened in 1927. After being ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the structure sat empty for 14 years until developers began renovations in 2019. It re-opened soon thereafter under the Hyatt Place hotel brand.  Because of its location on the Gulf of Mexico, Impact-rated windows were a must in accordance with Mississippi Building Codes. The ownership group also wanted to use vinyl windows. Quaker had the solution:  The V700 Series.

•  Quaker’s V700 Series is a rare vinyl window that meets stringent ASTM 1886 (Large Missile Impact – Level D) testing requirements.
• Nail fin anchorage system met Impact requirements.
• CW-50 FGIA test rating gave developers a vinyl window that could securely go past 4 stories.
• Fixed units were used throughout. However, all were made with a faux horizontal meeting rail to simulate a single hung window appearance.
• White uPVC viny matched the Markham’s facade.

With nearly 180 windows installed, and all refurbishments complete, the hotel is once again a player in Gulfport’s vibrant downtown district.
