Proposed resort would be Guam's tallest building

The Taiwanese developers of the Honhui Guam Resort, which is at the site of the former Royal Palm Hotel in Tumon, plan to build the tallest building on island, with 913 hotel rooms, according to project architect Brent Wiese.

Wiese, senior vice president and principal architect with RIM Architects, provided the first public details about the massive hotel and condominium project during Thursday’s meeting of the Rotary Club of Guam. Rotarians met at Three Squares restaurant in Tamuning.

As currently designed, the resort building will have two connected towers, built close to the shoreline near Matapang Beach, with a new waterpark on the south side of the building, according to Wiese.

The taller north tower will have 37 floors and stand 492 feet high, according to Wiese. The south tower will have 31 floors and stand 420 feet high.

I am speechless. I spent my childhood on Guam. That "overgrown" stretch of beach was once one of the most pristine beautiful places to snorkel, surf and play in the sand.
