For months, there has been no construction on the grounds of the former headquarters of the Panamanian Association of Business Executives (APEDE). However the $60 million Nikki Beach Hotel project is still being developed.
The hospitality center is to be built on the former headquarters site of APEDE. It will no longer have 156 rooms, but rather 300. Its opening is planned for 2012.
We did architecture and engineering redesigns, because when the project was launched in November 2008 we had 156 rooms in mind, but in November 2008 that changed to 300 rooms. These redesigns took over six months.” said Maruquel Gálvez representing RG Realty, the development team of this hotel on Avenida Balboa and also owner of Nikki Beach Playa Blanca, Casa Grande and Playa Blanca Hotel Bambito.
The change is due to the interest in including a casino in the complex and complying with the necessary room requirements.
The architectural and engineering firms involved in this work are TSYA and BMA. Destiny Real Estate is responsible for sales and marketing of the project.
“Now we have a more robust, lower and wider tower and, despite changes in the original schedule, the date of opening of the hotel is maintained for 2012 and it’s in pre-sales phase,” said Galvez.
RG says that the redesign and new structural plans have been approved by City Engineering.
