Many of our projects here at Bergman Construction are aimed at creating beautiful products that support our clients’ goals and positively impact their communities. The Holiday Inn Orlando Suites and Waterpark project is no different, as it reimagines a beloved family destination to enhance guest experience and extend the life of the resort’s popular attractions. Our objective for this project is to upgrade the existing waterpark and aquatic features in both the Oasis and Lagoon areas within the hotel’s central courtyard.

Our commitment to excellence began with assembling the right team, led by Director of Themed Entertainment David Bergman and Sr. Project Manager Sean Wisner, alongside key project leaders including Project Manager Mike Jordan, Superintendent Kevin Reed, and supported by Project Engineer Akshay Phatak—each bringing deep expertise in entertainment and hospitality construction.

This project is being completed in two phases, each including demolition and new construction. Phase one involves removing the existing pool area’s multi-use building, the concrete deck, hot tub, underground mechanical systems, and outdated infrastructure. New construction in this phase includes two aquatic features—a slide and Flowrider—along with supporting mechanical rooms, a new multi-use building, cabanas, fencing, lighting, and upgraded utilities.

Phase two begins with the demolition of the Multi-level Play structure, guest rooms, mini golf course, and associated underground systems. It will be followed by construction of a Multi-level plan structure, mechanical systems, a surge tank, restrooms, utility upgrades, and infrastructure enhancements.

Since the start of the year, the team has made steady progress, beginning with site preparation, permitting, and dewatering. Structural work advanced through the spring, including concrete foundations, runoff decks, and walls for key water features, as well as mechanical and plumbing installations for the new restroom building. By June, the exterior shell of the building neared completion, and underground utility work began across the site.

As construction continues, we’re proud to help revitalize a property that has brought joy to families for decades. The enhancements underway will elevate guests' experience

while supporting the long-term success of the resort. We look forward to completing this transformation and unveiling a waterpark that will be enjoyed for years to come.
