| Fort
Myers, FL – July 2010 – Jamaica’s first luxury beachfront condo hotel and
casino, The Palmyra Resort & Spa, has recently retained Robb &
Stucky Interiors to handle a major portion of the design and creation of
custom furnishings for 288 condominiums and a nearly 30,000 square foot
signature spa and clubhouse.
The
planned $2 billion high-end property is set against 16 oceanfront acres
on the grounds of a former Jamaican plantation within the elite enclave
of historic Rose Hall in Montego Bay. Development of three 12-story condominium
buildings and amenities began in late 2005. The first tower (Sable Palm)
is completed with the second tower (Silver Palm) finished in May of this
year. Completion of the Sentry Palm Tower and a private village of 11 condominium
villas linked by garden rooms and plazas are expected by the end of this
year. Villas will range from $450,000 to $3.5 million.
According
to developer Robert Trotta, “We believe The Palmyra is leading the island’s
renaissance and will soon become a major destination resort. Because our
customers are seasoned travelers and vacationers who expect the highest
in quality surroundings, we knew Robb & Stucky Interiors would be the
ideal firm to help create our desired level of luxury ambiance. Within
just two weeks of being selected, they had completed design boards, unit
renderings and special furnishings were already being manufactured. We
are confident we chose the proper design partner to transform our dreams
into reality.”

Interiors, www.RobbStucky.com,
“It has been an exciting opportunity for us to provide our unique design
services to The Palmyra by transforming existing furnishings and creating
a new line of custom manufactured interiors specifically for this property
and its luxurious Clubhouse and residential penthouses. Our talented and
experienced team of designers will also coordinate every facet of the design,
manufacturing, shipping, and installation process.”
Robb
& Stucky Senior Designer Nancy Woodhouse, IDS, is leading the design
team for the project, along with April Campbell, ASID and the entire staff.
Added Nancy, “The architecture and design of this property is incredibly
beautiful, showing a major attention to detail in the exquisite quality
of the flooring, staircases, surfaces, and various fixtures. I believe,
upon completion, this will be the nicest property on the island. Part of
our initial scope is to replace some upholstered items in their existing
furnished units with fresh fabric styles and prints, ensuring a high upgrade
quality. We will also provide model units for the large penthouses in the
Silver and Sabal Palm Towers and for the beachfront and spa villas. Our
team’s design scope includes new furnishings, window treatments, and area
rugs. Our island-inspired color palette reflects Jamaica’s exotic culture
and vibrant landscape to create warm, inviting luxury condominiums.”
At
Palmyra, residents and guests will enjoy unparalleled indulgence in a quaint
village setting, stretching along a half mile of pristine Caribbean ocean.
Guests will experience island-style luxury living, privileged access to
three internationally-acclaimed golf courses and five-star amenities, including
Jamaica’s first branded ESPA destination spa, two pools overlooking the
sea, and two on-site restaurants. Initial construction of the 23,000 square
foot destination ESPA is underway. Nearing completion is the nearly 30,000
square foot Clubhouse. It will contain restaurants, conference facilities,
offices, and guest registration. Robb & Stucky is expected to provide
the interior design for this major facility.
