RexCorp Plans $40M Capital Improvement for Hotel

[IMGCAP(1)]UNIONDALE, NY-RexCorp Realty LLC is planning a $40-million capital improvement plan for its Long Island Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. The Long Island Marriott, which is adjacent to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum here, will receive extensive upgrades in order to prepare for integration into the Lighthouse at Long Island, which is the basis for the hotel project, according to RexCorp.

“A commitment of this magnitude is an important first step in creating a first-class hotel and convention venue for Long Island,” notes Scott Rechler, chairman and CEO of RexCorp, who, along with Charles Wang, is developing the Lighthouse Project, as GlobeSt.com previously reported. “This Marriott, in connection with the anticipated five-star hotel and convention center planned as part of the Lighthouse project, will attract events and jobs to a community in need of, and eagerly anticipating, economic growth.” RexCorp’s in-house design and construction team is leading a group including Leo A Daly Interior Design, SF Design Group and Marriott Architecture and Construction, to transform the Long Island Marriott into a fully amenitized, full-service hotel.
