Uruguay – Cipriani Ocean Resort forced to change design with a phased opening
By Phil - 19 Ocak 2021
The Cipriani group, who was awarded the tender for a casino project, transforming the San Rafael hotel in the city of Punta del Este, has been forced to change its original blueprint and delay the construction of two of the three proposed buildings.
The mayor of Maldonado, Enrique Antía, recently held a meeting with the investment group behind the Cipriani Ocean Resort and Club Residences Punta del Este project, along with the architects and their partners.
Whilst the level of investment remains the same at US$450m, construction will now be phased with the hotel hosting the casino being built first. The other two buildings will be built once that stage has been completed.
New Yorklu mimar Rafael Viñoly tarafından denetlenen proje, ilk aşamasında 70 otel odası, 75 özel daire ve kumarhaneden oluşan yeni bir San Rafael Oteli olacak.
Daha sonra bu alanda bir spa, spor salonu, kuaför, alışveriş merkezi, kongre merkezi, tiyatro, iki yer altı garajı, rezidanslar ve restoranlar yer alacak.
The Mayor said: “Work continues, and there was a risk of losing it because the investment group has seen six or seven of its hotels closed. The previous project, which looked like a rattle, was very expensive to start with. The good news is that they are moving forward, and that they plan to start it this winter.”
The investor group must now present the project to the Maldonado Municipality, who will need to evaluate it and send it to the Departmental Board, who will need to approve it.
Punta del Este'deki San Rafael oteli 2011'den beri kapalıydı, ancak Giuseppe Cipriani tarafından imzalanan bir anlaşmanın ardından Şubat 40'de Cipriani Grubu tarafından 2018 milyon ABD Dolarından fazla bir bedel karşılığında satın alındı.
