Uruguay – Cipriani Ocean Resort forced to change design with a phased opening
By Φιλ - 19 Ιανουαρίου 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.
Το έργο, το οποίο επιβλέπεται από τον αρχιτέκτονα της Νέας Υόρκης Rafael Viñoly, θα δημιουργήσει ένα νέο ξενοδοχείο San Rafael με 70 δωμάτια ξενοδοχείου, 75 ιδιωτικά διαμερίσματα και το καζίνο στην πρώτη του φάση.
It will later include a spa, gym, hair salon, retail, convention centre, theatre, two underground garages, residences and restaurants.
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.
Το ξενοδοχείο San Rafael στην Punta del Este, ήταν κλειστό από το 2011, αλλά εξαγοράστηκε από τον όμιλο Cipriani για περισσότερα από 40 εκατομμύρια δολάρια ΗΠΑ τον Φεβρουάριο του 2018, μετά την υπογραφή συμφωνίας από τον Giuseppe Cipriani.
