Walk by the historic Gulfstream Hotel these days, and it’s impossible to miss the sights and sounds of progress.

Workers in window openings install new glass in hurricane-proof frames. Rooms are being framed with new drywall. A rooftop swimming pool has been poured.

It’s all part of a $134 million renovation and expansion of the historic 6-story hotel, shuttered since 2005, at 1 Lake Ave. on the east end of downtown Lake Worth Beach.

The highly-anticipated first phase, a renovated 1925 hotel with 90 rooms and a Marriott Bonvoy brand, is supposed to open next year. Exactly when will depend on the pace of contractors, suppliers and permitting agencies like the Florida Department of Transportation.
