Yap to design $1-billion Appleton Estate Rum Tour project
“The $1-billion investment not only demonstrates the confidence which J Wray & Nephew and its parent company Gruppo Campari has in Jamaica, but will be solidly looked at as money well spent,” he said.
“My relationship with Appleton began in the late 1980s when they called me in to discuss the renovation of a space in their factory compound where they had been accommodating tourists who were going there by train to tour the factory,” Yap explained.
The current work, he said, includes the renovation of the existing property and surrounding landscape, the addition of modern rooms to facilitate the tasting of rum, an expansive retail store, and a restaurant and lounge offering Appleton-infused Jamaican cuisine.
