PCL Construction has reached the substantial completion of renovation and expansion of the Naples Ritz-Carlton, a project started in 2021.
PCL’s contract included construction of a new tower and extensive renovations across the entire resort. The Vanderbilt Tower, features a new lounge and more than 70 club-level guestrooms while the hotel sports a renovated lobby, multiple new restaurants, pools, bungalows and cabanas, remodeled guestrooms and suites.
“After facing several challenges and delays following Hurricane Ian, the project team has worked incredibly hard to reach this achievement of The Ritz-Carlton Naples welcoming guests back to its resort,” said Rick Goldman, PCL Construction’s vice president and district manager of the Orlando division.
Initially scheduled to be complete in December 2022, Mother Nature had different plans after Hurricane Ian made landfall in late September 2022. The PCL project team responded quickly to the hurricane, implementing restoration and recovery efforts, while continuing to renovate and expand the resort as quickly and efficiently as possible.
“I’m incredibly proud of the project team for persevering during a time where there were several unknowns. They responded well and worked tirelessly to get the resort in the position it’s in today,” said Goldman.
