Marriott Vacations Worldwide Headquarters

Marriott Vacations Worldwide Headquarters | Orlando, Florida

This project consists of the build-out of a 300,000-sq.-ft. building to create a new standalone corporate headquarters for Marriott Vacations Worldwide. The nine-floor facility has a seating capacity for 1,200 employees with a variety of meeting and conference spaces such as high-capacity training rooms, multi-purpose and multiple sized conference rooms, quiet rooms, breakout spaces, collaboration areas and huddle rooms to provide a one-to-one ratio of seated workstations to meeting areas.

Project Details

The build-to-suit headquarters also features an executive boardroom suite with an adjacent catering room and green room, an onsite security suite, a broadcast and recording studio, an onsite IT suite for help, repairs, and imaging, and a fully redundant IT distribution system with high-performing Wi-Fi, remote access tv screens, and LED walls at both entrances. Amenities include a specialty food service kitchen, café, fitness center with locker rooms and showers, and additional breakrooms per floor.

Innovative Solutions

As DPR purchased the project in 2022, there were extreme problems with material shortages and price escalation problems. To avoid a 20% price increase or lack of availability, DPR coordinated with the owner before being under contract to buy the project exceptionally quickly. DPR suggested that subcontractors buy materials for the entire project and store them offsite until installation.

In a typical scenario, material is bought closer to installation, but this was done to increase the project's effective productivity and avoid delays related to material shortages or other fabrication/delivery issues. DPR worked with the base building contractor to place all expedited material onsite months before the walls were built and enclosed.

We think you'll like this, too.
