April 2008 Restaurant & Lobby Building Update - The Phoenix Resort in Belize

The Phoenix Restaurant & Lobby Building - April 2008
Here is the site of The Phoenix's Restaurant and Lobby Building prior to the start of construction.	In addition to housing our resort's restaurant and lobby, this building will also feature a spa, health and fitness center, business center, multiple bathrooms, and an upstairs outdoor bar.
The first major step of construction was to excavate the building site.	Simultaneously our crew began tying the steel used in the footing of the foundation.
Here is the building's footing after being poured. The steel and concrete footing was built atop a 10' by 10' grid of pilings that sits on bedrock.	The building is being built in the southwest corner of The Phoenix property. The enclosed area on the second floor will be set back from the first floor, creating a large outdoor deck on the second floor.
Next our crew began construction of the walls of the foundation.	The finished foundation height will be six and a half feet above sea level.
Here is the foundation after the concrete block walls were completed.	Here is the foundation of the Restaurant and Lobby Building in the forefront and Buildings A, B, and C in the background.
Where our construction materials are being kept will eventually become an outdoor patio for the resort's restaurant.	Renderings of what the Restaurant and Lobby Building will look like when complete can be found in our View The Phoenix section of the website.
