Address: 7446 Palm Island Drive, Unit #1 – 4, Placida, FL
Before
The Palm Island 1 Deluxe is a villa that is located in Placida. It is close to the beach, and it allows bookings for people who are spending time in the area. The property allows the visitors to view the beautiful sceneries in the Boca Grande Beach and also the Englewood Beach. The property consists of several buildings that are located across the area and on the stretch along the beach. The current location is classified as a commercial zone. The business sits on a vast stretch of land that is adjacent to the beach and has a lot of empty spaces that can be put into better use.
The structures on the location are low buildings with a maximum of 2 stories and are spaced, leaving gaps of land that can be better utilized. The buildings are scattered all over the area, and they form a stretch, and the site is used as a villa and a hotel for people who are on vacation for bookings.
After
The property will be upgraded to become a guest house that will be storied. The upgrade will give space for the creation of recreation space for the visitors and places they can learn about the location. The upgrade will see the several buildings consolidated to become one building with several stories and modern, attractive design and inclusions to ensure the comfort of the visitors.
The zoning category after the upgrade will be in the hospitality zone. The upgrading will make the property be used as motels or guesthouse where it will host visitors and holiday goers. The zoning will allow for the building and development of better structures that are friendly to visitors, and that will better represent the culture and the way of life around the area, which will attract more customers into the villa (Kusminski & Scherer, 2018). The upgrade of the zone from a commercial one to a hospitality one will be possible as many other structures offer hospitality services in the area as tourists frequent it, and the hospitality business is booming because of the beach and the scenery, which attracts more visitors throughout the year.
The structures to be put up after the upgrade will be compact six storied buildings that will have towers that will have views placed at the top. The inclusion of the towers will make the building unique and attract more visitors who will need to view the scenery from the top of the building. Also, the construction will be modern with an inclusion of the cultural aspects of the area, which is a major attraction of the tourists into the area. Including the cultural perspective will encourage more visitors as they will have something to learn and is the basis of tourists, to learn about cultures. The buildings will also be modern, meaning they will have better amenities and services than the current buildings. This will make the users and the visitors more comfortable and excited at booking spaces in it. The proposed structure will have three buildings with six stories each, and the size of one building will be 4000 sf each and will have well-structured foundations and also support as the area is close to the beach, and they need to be strong.
The use of the proposed building will be a guest house as well as a hotel. The guest house will house visitors who wish to lounge in the area for their sightseeing. The hotel will serve their meals and also the meals of the locals who want to have their meals in the regions. It will also be lodging areas for the people visiting the location. The area that will be cleared of the scattered buildings will be created into a recreation park that will have the culture and the essential aspects in the area that will be interesting to the visitors. The reclamation of the land from buildings into a park will also benefit the visitors and the locals who will have somewhere to visit and learn about the cultures of the area while even relaxing after visiting the beach and the other sceneries in the area (Wang & Chong, 2015). By creating a recreation park, there will be an area where the children who visit the area can safely play without the monitoring of the parents or the guardians as it will be secure and without dangers as the ones with the current location. The location is frequented by tourists who love sightseeing, and the upgrade will be a welcome development. It will attract more visitors as the upgrade will also upgrade the treatment they get and also the security of their children and even an increase in the activities that they can take part in without the supervision of the parents. Also, the rise in the number of rooms and the accommodation conditions will make the visitors more comfortable and book it throughout the year.
The proposed use will be the best use of the property as there is a potential of attracting more customers into the area with the better services that will be available in the new property that is not being offered in the current situation. The new property will provide better and new services that will be matching the current standards in the industry while still preserving the culture and the environment in the area. The call and the dedication to creating a recreating park will help in better preservation of the environment while still making use of the area. The building and the condensation of the buildings into a few buildings will also help in reducing the expenditure in terms of the employees who will be needed to serve the visitors. Also, the security and the monitoring of the visitors, their children, and their luggage will be easier in the proposed structure than it is in the current one (Wang & Chong, 2015). Also, the proposed structure will have better amenities that are not available in the existing property. The creation of the view towers, for instance, will help in attracting more visitors who love seeing the scenery from the high locations. They will be able to view the scenes from the comfort of the hotel and without traveling and using more money for such chances.
The driving force behind the upgrade will be the demand for hospitality services in the area. The location receives many tourists, and they all need accommodation and hotel services. There are some developments and innovations in the building sector that will make the recommended property be in demand, and that will ensure the comfort and the security of the visitors. The area receives more than a million visitors each year, and they all need to be accommodated and offered hotel services (Wang & Chong, 2015). The visitors are attracted to the area by the culture and the scenery, and providing them a secure and easy location and housing will be a welcome idea for them. The buildings will have different kinds of houses that will be determined by the pricing, and this will determine the services offered in each. This means that the proposed property will be accessible to all people in all classes without limiting them by the cost.
The economic factors that will impact the property will be the regional demand for the services and investing in the area. The services will be controlled by the number of visitors who will be visiting the area and also the economic factors in their areas. The local economic factors that will control the property are the costs of the products in the market (Wang & Chong, 2015). The cost of the products will be the determining factor of the cost in the property, and this will lead to the prices and the preferences to change as there will be other hospitality properties that offer the same services and products at a lower price, which will lead to a lot of competition.
The property will be influenced by trends such as the offering of healthy and organic foods and drinks, which has become an attractive feature in the hospitality industry and is also becoming hard as many organizations in the industry do not have access to the organic and healthy products (Lee, 2017). Another trend that will influence the property will be the use of local and experienced individuals. The use of local experience will ensure the visitors are treated to the local culture, and they receive the best and direct information and recipes, which is an attractive aspect in the industry.
Factors critical in the market analysis were the current services being offered in the existing building and also the current number of visitors they serve as compared to other hospitality industries in the area. Also, it was necessary to note the needs and the views of the visitors and even the locals in the area on the way that the area can be improved to serve the visitors well. The trends in the building industry and also the hospitality industry were also important aspects of the study as they offered the basis of the decision to change the building and the structure and even the inclusion of newer services that are exciting and attractive to the visitors.
Being a hospitality industry is the highest and the best use of the site. The use allows the area to be exposed and to be utilized to its maximum while still using a small area and conserving a larger one and still serving the same purpose (Lee, 2017). The conversion from a villa to a guest house and a hotel will offer the area more use as there will be more activity and more visitors from all levels of life as the recommended property will be created in a way that it will accommodate all people as it will have different costs according to the one that each class of people can afford.
