Cape hotel nearing completion

Construction is 75 percent complete on The Resort at MarinaVillage at Tarpon Point Marina, announced Grosse Pointe Development Company President Jim Crumbie.

BBL Construction of Florida has broken ground on the retail component of the project, the Shops at MarinaVillage and the adjacent six-story parking structure. This area of MarinaVillage will be a commercial, residential and retail center within Tarpon Point Marina that will be open to the public. Pavilions situated along a waterfront promenade will offer boutiques and retail outlets, a day spa and fitness center. Restaurant plans include two casual restaurants with indoor and outdoor dining. Both will feature marina views, a full bar and award-winning cuisine.

Interior work on The Resort at MarinaVillage includes the near completion of drywall and the 50 percent completion of the installation of cabinets, trim and tile.

"The construction of the resort and retail components are currently on schedule and will be completed in the next eight months," said Mr. Crumbie." This will give us a few months to finish the interiors, furnishing, and landscaping in time for our opening in November 2009."

The Resort at MarinaVillage is Cape Coral's first condo/hotel and will feature fully furnished, two- and three-bedroom condo/hotel residences ranging in size from 1,235 to 2,195 square feet, featuring master suites, grand rooms and guest suites and private dining terraces.
