Mesa city officials and hotel VIPs broke ground Monday on the four-story, 180-room Sheraton Hotel Mesa, the first component of the Wrigleyville commercial area within the Chicago Cubs complex.
Wrigleyville area is the last piece of the 140-acre complex on Rio Salado Parkway near Dobson, which already boasts a 15,000-seat baseball stadium and Riverview Park.
The Mesa City Council had approved the sale of 8.4 acres valued at $2.7 million to East Valley hotelier Bob Yost in December.
