Upcoming Hawaiian Wyndham Will Be 'Grand'

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts has announced that the brand's first new build project in Hawaii, a 322-unit luxury resort on Poipu Beach on the south shore of Kauai, will be the first to fly the Wyndham Grand flag.

Koloa Landing at Poipu Beach Wyndham Grand Resort is owned by Poipu Beach Villas LLC, a Salt Lake City-based consortium, and is being developed in multiple phases. The general contractor is Layton Construction, also known locally as Resort Construction Managers, which has worked with commercial construction customers for nearly six decades. Azul Hospitality Group of San Diego, a hospitality management company specializing in full-service hotels and upscale resorts, will manage the property.

Construction began in June 2008. The project ultimately will include one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom luxury residences. Construction is expected to be completed on Phase One during the third quarter of this year, which the resort will celebrate with a grand opening. Phase One will include 85 luxury resort residences, two lagoon pools, fitness center and a dining and shopping marketplace.
