1st Phase of $58M Marriott Restoration in Puerto Rico Complete

Atlanta, GA, January 16, 2019 – JLL’s project and development services division announced today the team has completed the first phase of renovations to the Marriott San Juan Stellaris in Puerto Rico. The popular resort is in the midst of a major re-build project following significant damage from Hurricane Maria in September 2017.

Led by JLL’s Vice President Steve Schrope and Senior Project Manager Aaron Anderson, the hospitality-focused team of experts is utilizing strategic hurricane relief strategies to repair and restore one of the city’s most notable resorts. The team has managed restoration projects across the globe including projects in Key Largo, Duck Key, and Miami, FL.

The first phase of renovations to the 454,200-square-foot hotel includes: a complete remodel of 123 cabana rooms, reconstruction of the in-house restaurant and enhancements to the pool deck and ballroom space. This year, JLL’s team will focus on managing the re-build of the remaining 405 keys, bringing the hotel to a total of 528 renovated keys in phase two.

“JLL’s project and development services division is recognized globally as an innovative and effective leader in project management. We’re fortunate to have a highly skilled team equipped to implement effective hurricane restoration strategies,” said Schrope. “With Marriott San Juan Stellaris’ first phase now complete, our team is honored to have the opportunity to play a role in rebuilding the future of Puerto Rico.”
