Glatting Jackson Celebrates Soft Opening of the
Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate
.
October 20, 2004 - In spite of three hurricanes, the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate soft opening was held on time.  Hosted by Omni Hotels of Dallas and RIDA Development, LLC of Houston, the event was well attended by members of the Osceola County Commission and members of the project design team. 

Glatting Jackson, the project landscape architects were particularly gratified with the on time opening because the majority of the hurricane damage was to the exterior landscaping.  Over one hundred trees and palms were repeatedly blown over in all three hurricanes and the pools and water features were filled with sand, palm trees and other debris.  On opening day, the massive damage was repaired and barely discernable by the guests.  The first convention group checks in on Sunday, October 10th with the grand opening ceremonies to be held in early December in conjunction with the Father & Son Golf Tournament held annually at ChampionsGate
