KMI was the Program Manager for Marriott Vacation Club International/ Ritz-Carlton® Club and Ritz-Carlton® Hotels for the exclusive design and construction management of the multiple project program. The overall program included the renovation of the existing Ritz-Carlton® Hotels (152 hotel units with four suites), the expansion of two new hotel buildings with 24 units each, and a new Ritz-Carlton® Resort. The four new buildings were made up of 80 fractional ownership suites ranging up to 2,000 SF in area. Site amenities included the construction of a new Spa Facility, a Members Club, pools and a new Pool Bar & Grill.

The project is situated on the northeastern shore of St. Thomas. The property is referred to as Bluebeards Beach and is bordered by Great Bay to the east and Mueller Bay to the north. The total beach frontage on Great Bay is approximately 1,300 feet and on Mueller Bay approximately 1,000 feet. There are significant topographical variations on the site, which provided challenges for development. The elevations vary from approximately 5 feet at the beach to 55 feet in the hilly area.

The Project Program was built in phases. Phase 1 included the Ritz-Carlton® Hotel renovation and expansion, the first Ritz-Carlton® Club building, the major infrastructure systems, the clubhouse and the Spa. Phases 2, 3 and 4 will each include a Ritz-Carlton® Club building.
