Winter Park Construction (WPC), one of Central Florida's largest and most respected general contractors, has recently been selected to direct a $16.6 million refurbishment at the 1,450-acre, Kissimmee-based Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort as well as two of their other Holiday Inn Club Vacations resorts in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
The yearlong project will include the total interior renovation and upgrade of 224 two-bedroom golf villas and the soft-goods renovation of 408 one-, two- and three-bedroom units at the popular vacation ownership properties.
In announcing the new contract, Jeff Forrest, President of WPC, added that Charlie Cecil has been named to direct the Holliday Inn Club Vacations project. A 25-year veteran in the construction industry including 14 years with Winter Park Construction, Cecil is Manager of the company's Renovation/Special Projects Division.
The new assignment will be completed in three phases, beginning in January 2010 and finalized in December. During the renovation project, Winter Park Construction will remove all furnishings, complete interior paint and millwork detail, replace carpeting and ceramic flooring, add new granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and install plumbing and lighting fixtures, all new soft-goods, case-goods window treatments, artwork and accessories.
Added Forrest, "We are proud of Winter Park Construction's 29-year relationship with Orange Lake Resort, having built virtually every structure on this property. In 2009, we launched our Renovations/Special Projects Division that specializes in multi-unit renovations and are currently completing a 108-unit soft-goods renovation at Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort."
Tammy Oliver, Sr. Director - Warehouse Services for Orange Lake, commented, "I look forward to working with Winter Park Construction in the coming year. They are unsurpassed in their experience within our industry and truly understand what it takes to create a home-away-from-home for our owners and guests."
