What this means for a rebuilding company: a full-service hotel inside an existing urban fabric. Work starts with excavation and shoring on a constrained, built-up site, moves through the concrete frame, façades and hospitality-grade fit-out, and ends with the mechanical and electrical package — central HVAC, lifts, fire protection, pool water treatment and commercial kitchen installations. The scale creates room for structural contractors, finishing and hotel-equipment suppliers, and interior design practices.
