CHULA VISTA, CALIF. — M.A. Mortenson and McCarthy Building Cos. have completed the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center, a $1.3 billion hospitality project located on the Chula Vista Bayfront, about seven miles from downtown San Diego. The nearly 2 million-square-foot development, construction of which began in August 2022, is the largest hotel project in the United States, according to the development team.
Spanning 36 acres, the development consists of a 22-story Marriott hotel with 1,600 guestrooms (including 89 suites) and an 800,000-square-foot convention center that has an open-floor exhibit hall with meeting rooms, elevated ballrooms and areas to host large-scale events. The property also features a 4.3-acre outdoor waterpark with a waterslide, lazy river, wave pool, poolside bars and private cabanas.
The development team, which includes HKS Architecture, the City of Chula Vista, the Port of San Diego and Marriott International, completed the project in 34 months, creating approximately 3,000 annual jobs during the construction phase. The team also estimates that the project will ultimately create an additional 3,900 permanent jobs both at the resort and in the surrounding city.

For about 12,000 BTC you can construct the largest hotel and recreation resort in the United States in a prime location like San Diego where the weather is fantastic. Maybe I should visit this place some day. Team got this massive complex built in 34 months. Absolutely amazing
