Business briefly

R.D. Olson Construction, specialists in building hotels, retail

outlets and business complexes, has completed the first phase of

Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas, part of Marriott Vacation Club

International.

The work, including four buildings, three pools, two spas,

landscaping, streets and a parking structure, marks the start of a

five-year building plan for the 77-acre, Mediterranean village-style

resort.

Irvine-based R.D. Olson provided complete general contracting services

for the first of several phases.

“We’ve built many Marriott projects, but this one is especially

upscale and sits upon one of Orange County’s most exquisite pieces of

land,” said Dennis Reyling, the company’s president.
