Réginald Boulos, the President of Société immobilière et financier S.A. (SIF), owner of El Rancho Hotel, has signed a $16.5 million contract with Manuel Genao, Vice President of the Dominican firm Estrella, for the construction of the largest Convention Center in Haiti as part of the Villa Creole master plan.

The Center, designed by the U.S. architectural firm OBM International, with a capacity of more than 1,300 people (in theater mode), will be modular and can be transformed as needed into smaller rooms from 100 to 500 places. It will also have a covered parking of 400 places.

Fully Haitian financing of this future convention center will be provided by shareholders of the CIF and financial institutions. The work should begin in February and last 18 months.
