The team + timeline of Embassy Suites Gulf Shores

This massive project is being developed by DD Partners, LLC (based in Birmingham and Marietta), Peachtree Group (based in Atlanta) and Woodbine Development Corporation (based in Dallas). PVFS is the architect of record and Birmingham-based Robins & Morton is the general contractor.

Construction is now underway at the Embassy Suites Gulf Shores, and the resort is set to be complete by summer 2025, as reported by Business Wire.

“We are excited to have Embassy Suites breaking ground here in Gulf Shores. This is the type of transformative project we envisioned for our beach area when we adopted Vision 2025.

Having a high-end, full-service hotel with significant conference space in the heart of our beach district will boost our shoulder seasons, support local businesses year-round and be a catalyst for higher quality redevelopment in this area.”
