A Fully Integrated Approach

A key differentiator of A&R Group’s model is its fully integrated structure, bringing development, design, construction, and hospitality operations together under one roof. This approach enables streamlined communication, increased efficiency, and alignment across all phases of each project.

“One of the things that really drew me to A&R Group is our fully integrated approach,” said Avila. “With development, design, construction, and operations all working together in-house, we’re able to stay aligned, move quickly, and ensure everyone understands what’s happening across the portfolio.”

“It’s important to us that our teams feel connected and take pride in their properties. When you have strong communication and engaged teams, it directly impacts both performance and the guest experience.”
