This week marks the completion anniversary of our work on the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino expansion in Hollywood, Florida: the world’s first guitar-shaped hotel.
From a 450-foot tower to a 13.5-acre pool lagoon and a 7,000-seat concert venue, executing 13 projects within one mega-project required meticulous preconstruction planning and advanced VR technology from start to finish. Delivered on a non-negotiable deadline ahead of the 2020 Super Bowl, it remains an iconic structural landmark on the Florida skyline.

Yates' Atlanta and Biloxi divisions recently participated in the annual Heart Walk for their local American Heart Association chapters.
Our Biloxi Division raised more than **$150,000**, setting a new Mississippi record for the most funds raised by a single company for the American Heart Association! Their efforts helped the local Heart Walk surpass its $350,000 fundraising goal, bringing the event total over $433,000.
A special thank you to Yates' own Robert Ridgway, who served as Heart Walk Chairman, and to all our team members and supporters who contributed to the success of this year's Heart Walks!
