Plans for a new resort complex on the former Club Med site in St. George's have been submitted to Planning.

The Park Hyatt resort would feature 122 hotel beds spread between eight buildings; a further eight buildings would house 39 villas.

The main building would be located on the Fort Victoria site.

Also shown in the plans are 12 four-bedroom homes bordering Barry Road, and a condominium complex featuring more than 70 units.

The site will also have a fitness and activity centre, a beachside restaurant on Fort St. Catherine Beach and a spa and gardens inside Fort Albert.

The plans also show the newly redesigned 18-hole golf course, which can be played as either a 67 or 71-par course.

A desalinisation plant, a sewage facility and 90 living quarters for staff are also included.

The $90 million, 262-year lease on the property was signed in 2008 following the demolition of the former Club Med hotel.

According to a Bill passed in 2006, the hotel must be built by 2013, and is expected to cost around $294 million.

US-based developer Carl Bazarian announced in January that financing for the resort is in place. At that time he said work on the site could start by the end of this year.

The hotel is hoped to help lift the St. George's economy, which has been hard-hit by a decline in visiting cruise ships.
