The architect of record for the project is PFVS, and the contractor is Robins & Morton, an Alabama based construction firm.

A $3.5 million letter of credit issued by the developers of the Embassy Suites in Gulf Shores to the city “as a security against the project being completed and coming operational” is being allowed to expire per the agreement on June 30.
