July 24, 2010 -- Sunshine Construction Plc received a 4000sq.m. plot it requested a year ago from the Addis Ababa City Administration for a Marriott hotel project, according to news from the Ethiopian Reporter.

The company has almost finalized the construction work of what is projected to become a five-star executive apartment hotel project, Marriot Executive Apartment, built around Estifanos Church off Meskel Square.

Sunshine Construction PIC will invest over 250 million birr in the Marriot Executive Apartment when the project is completed while the investment layout for the Courtyard Marriott is projected to hit 200 million birr.

Representatives of Marriott International are scheduled to come to Addis Ababa next week to discuss the franchise agreement with Sunshine Construction PIC, according to Samuel Tesfyae, managing director of Sunshine.
