A 6,694 m² site in the city of Palmyra, carrying a destroyed building that requires demolition and designated for the construction of a five-star hotel. Palmyra holds a distinguished tourist and archaeological standing across the central region and is a major visitor destination, and the size of the plot allows recreational and sports facilities serving the surrounding district.
What this means for a rebuilding company: the work begins with what is almost a separate contract before the hotel itself — a structural survey of the destroyed building, then controlled demolition with debris sorting and removal, then an assessment of whether the existing foundations are fit for replacement or reuse. Only after that does the new-build cycle start to five-star hospitality specification: thermal and waterproofing systems, air conditioning and air handling, kitchens, laundries and generators, and finishes matching the rating. A site inside an archaeological city also calls for extra care at the excavation stage and coordination with the responsible authorities before any work below ground level.
