Re: Marriott Marquis - Renovation Project
Last week our neighbor, the largest hotel in Atlanta, the Marriott Marquis, announced Phase Two of an approximate $100 million revolutionary renovation.. The project has already begun and will last for approximately 18 months. This renovation project will impact Peachtree Center to a great degree but in the long run, a very positive one Colonnade Properties will be routinely meeting with the Marriott Marquis management staff for any updates that will affect Peachtree Center and we will notify all tenants of the progress.
Below is some preliminary information that everyone needs to be aware of:
Basic Exterior Information:
• Construction hours are from 9:00am through 6:00pm, Monday through Friday.
• Harris Street between Peachtree Center Avenue and Courtland Street will be closed to through traffic starting on August 14, 2006 and will not be reopened until January 15, 2007,
• Foot traffic will not be allowed along the north side of Harris Street..
• Deliveries to Marquis One loading dock WILL NOT be restricted. However, delivery trucks exiting from the loading dock will have to exit right onto Harris and back to Peachtree Center Avenue.
• Reserved parkers for Marquis One & Two will be required to exit at Baker Street. Temporary signage will be added to direct traffic to the Baker Street exit.
• A fence will be erected on the patio of Marquis One on Monday, August 14, 2006. A portion of the patio will still be available for use by tenants.
• Please do not cross into any area that has been blocked of by barricades or fences as these areas are deemed dangerous.
Basic Interior Information:
• Renovation of the rotunda walkway on the Garden Level between Marquis One & Two will be a two phase process. A wall will be erected on the east side of the rotunda that will allow for that area to be renovated first and when it is complete the west half will be renovated. This will not impede foot traffic between the buildings at all however, access to the Marriott Marquis will only be available via the motor lobby..
• There will be a tremendous amount of noise from cranes and jack hammers once the demolition starts however, the Marriott Marquis, general contractor and City Of Atlanta will be monitoring the noise levels.
• Security for the property will remain the same.
• Updated information will be distributed as necessary.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to serve you better here at Peachtree Center.
