Dimeo Construction Company begins New Hotel & Luxury Residential Suites at Ocean House Hotel

Watch Hill, RI - Dimeo Construction has been awarded the Ocean House Hotel project. Originally built in 1868, with reconstruction after a devastating fire in the 1970s, the grand Victorian facade of Ocean House, with its columned porches, multi-paned windows and architectural trimmings, has served as an icon for Watch Hill for more than a century.

Significant site preparation and demolition were necessary before Dimeo could begin rebuilding this historic hotel with added condominiums and underground parking. The hotel is located directly on the water with a private beach adjacent to Misquamicut Beach. The 142,000 sf structure includes an additional 30,000 sf of porches and roof terraces. The new facility will incorporate 17 luxury residences with 51 hotel rooms and an enclosed 42-car garage. There will also be a spa within the hotel. In addition to the hotel site, Dimeo will also be constructing an eighty car surface lot across the street.
