 When will construction on the Margaritaville Hotel in Flagler Beach begin? The construction of the eagerly awaited Margaritaville Hotel in downtown Flagler Beach is scheduled to kick off this September. The project, announced by officials, is expected to take 18 months, causing several changes in the area, including sidewalk and street closures.

Who are the developers of Margaritaville Hotel in Flagler Beach? The project is being spearheaded by Ormond Beach-based Elite Hospitality's developer and manager, Manoj Bhoola, and Jeremy Bain of Welbro Building Corp. They provided details of this most substantial construction venture in recent Flagler Beach history to a crowd of over 80 locals gathered at City Hall.

What is the expected impact of the Margaritaville Hotel project on local businesses in Flagler Beach? Concerns did arise regarding the project's impact on parking availability and the subsequent effects on neighboring businesses due to limited parking spaces. However, the majority of the audience expressed their appreciation for the initiative, lauding Elite for its well-established local roots.

What amenities will the Margaritaville Hotel in Flagler Beach offer? The Margaritaville Hotel, spanning 84,000 square feet over three stories, will feature 100 rooms, a restaurant, a meeting room, a fitness room, a pool with a tiki bar, a rooftop terrace, and retail outlets. Managed by Elite Hospitality, the restaurant is set to provide approximately 60 jobs, while the hotel will offer nearly 25 positions.

What parking provisions are being made for the Margaritaville Hotel in Flagler Beach? In response to concerns regarding parking and the beach area, officials clarified that the bulk of the hotel's land would be dedicated to providing 80 on-site parking spaces. The remaining necessary parking spaces will be on-street parking.

How will construction of the Margaritaville Hotel affect traffic in Flagler Beach? Construction activities will mainly occur Monday through Friday, potentially extending to Saturdays in the case of weather-related delays. South Central Avenue between SR 100 and South 2nd Street will be off-limits for vehicular traffic, but Veterans Park pathway will stay open. Parking and sidewalk access will also be removed on South Second Street for the duration of the construction.

What are the working hours for the Margaritaville Hotel construction? Work hours are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with dust control measures implemented to ensure the comfort of the local community. Night work is not planned due to the longer completion timeframe and the challenge of sourcing a workforce during these hours.

Welbro Building Corp, with its extensive experience in large-scale projects, is anticipated to transform downtown Flagler Beach, bringing the long-envisioned downtown to life.
