The contract was awarded by Port Madison Enterprises, operator of the casino resort and economic agent of the Suquamish Tribe, owner of the gaming destination, which sits a ferry ride across Puget Sound from Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Suquamish Clearwater&#8217;s growth spurt will include a three-story, 74,000 square-foot addition to the casino, as well as the development of a 770-car parking facility and a hotel that will add 100 guestrooms to the existing pool of 87 guestrooms. The five-story hotel may be just the thing to lure more players.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[At casino across the country], the decision usually for adding a hotel is how big of a hotel do you need to meet peak demand on weekends for customers that are more than, say, a two-hour drive away,&#8221; Brent Pirosch, director of gaming consulting with commercial real estate services firm Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, told\u00a0<em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. &#8220;When they&#8217;ve been playing and drinking, the drive home is too far away to be convenient. And it tends to be that people who are staying in a hotel have higher gaming revenue than someone who&#8217;s staying for a few hours. So how much is it going to cost you to build that hotel and how much incremental gaming revenue can you get from having those people stay overnight&#8211;that should be the thought process behind adding a hotel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hill will also manage the tenfold augmentation of the property&#8217;s meeting and entertainment space, which will assist PME in realizing its goal of transforming Suquamish Clearwater into the largest convention center in the West Sound region. &#8220;We look forward to helping the Resort successfully achieve its ambitious expansion plans,&#8221; William B. Grubich, Hill&#8217;s vice president in charge of Native American projects, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>Net gaming receipts for tribal casinos in Washington have been on a consistent upswing for more than a decade, growing from approximately $272.6 million in fiscal year 2000 to $2.1 billion in 2012, according to the Washington State Gambling Commission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An expansion is in the works for the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort in Clearwater, Wash., and Hill International has won the contract to provide construction management services for the project. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004068036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21751,21783,21742,21785],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004068035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hotel","category-investment","category-latest","category-property-management"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
