These fees encompass costs related to architectural and engineering services, civil, interior, and landscape design, survey and environmental assessments, and fees for other consultants involved in the design and construction of the Resort. The fees also cover other design-related expenses.
The FDD specifies that the amount of these professional services fees fluctuates based on the complexity, location, and design of the Camp Margaritaville Resort, as well as the characteristics of the premises where the Resort is situated.
