In addition to a 17 story hotel, the resort project includes two restaurants, a new parking garage, swimming pool, tiki bar, cabanas, marina and a seaplane. The resort will extend from Johnson Street to Michigan Streets and from the beach to the Intracoastal Waterway.

Construction is set to begin in March 2012.
