01
The finding
A hotel owner/operator was developing a new hotel and believed its development company had General Liability coverage for its role as general contractor. During diligence, Virtus identified a Real Estate Development Activities Exclusion that excluded the ground-up construction operations.
02
The review
Our AI-assisted Review Policies tool supported the policy deep dive and helped identify the gap. The Virtus team reviewed the findings against the client’s operations and explained the mismatch between the work being performed and the policy’s coverage.
03
The solution
Virtus separated the hospitality and construction exposures, placing the hotel operations with hospitality-focused carriers and the general contractor operations with a specialized construction liability program designed for ground-up development. The development company obtained dedicated liability coverage for its construction operations.
