More than $800,000 in contracts have been awarded as part of a bid to transform a failed affordable housing development into a hotel and condominium complex.

A notice in the Official Gazettesaid the Bermuda Housing Corporation had paid Brunel Ltd $500,000 for “project management, engineering and architectural services” for 1 Atlantic Crescent and 2 Atlantic Close in Warwick.

The two buildings are part of the Bermudiana Beach Resort – built as the Grand Atlantic housing development.

The contract had a start date of September 14 last year and is scheduled to end on September 13.

The Asmayda Furniture Group was awarded a $315,058 contract for the same two buildings.

The notice said the project involved “public areas, reception, pool and office area furniture, fabrics and fixtures, TV wall panels, reception area bathroom fixtures and fittings, inclusive of lights and flooring”.

The contract started on October 15, 2021 with a completion date of June 30.

The Government said last summer that it hoped the resort would welcome guests in April this year after delays caused by financing problems.

Curtis Dickinson, the Minister of Finance, announced a $10 million government guarantee for the project in the last Budget, with the redevelopment highlighted as an example of “targeted stimulus” to bolster the economy.
