Major Hotel Renovations at 555 Canal St.
First up, let’s talk about the impressive nonstructural renovations happening at 555 Canal St..

The property will feature well-known brands like Marriott, along with a Burger Bar and a FedEx Office.

With a budget of just under $7.5 million, this renovation is set to enhance both functionality and accessibility for everyone.
