Construction of Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg is on schedule, with the resort expected to open in March 2012.

According to Prem Devadas, president of Salamander Hospitality, the exterior of the project is near completion and should be finished by the end of this month.
“Things are moving along according to schedule,” he said. “It really is exciting. Everyone can absolutely envision what the final product is going to be like from looking at that exterior.”

Devadas said the February snowstorms slowed progress slightly but were not a major disruption.

Upon completion, Salamander will contain a resort and spa with 168 rooms (ranging from $200 to $600 a night), 12 homes and 30,000 square feet of office space.
