Well over two years after the developer introduced the project, Museum Square received a unanimous green light from the Scottsdale City Council, setting the stage for the developer to break ground as early as next summer.
“This has been a long road,” developer Rob Macdonald told the City Council, noting the project began back in early 2017.
Macdonald’s development corporation is one of the entities backing ARC Scottsdale Holdings, which is under agreement to purchase city land, to build Museum Square.
The City Council voted 7-0 Oct. 16, to approve zoning amendments and a development deal for Museum Square, which at full build-out will include a 190-room hotel and public plaza. The project will also include three condo buildings and an apartment building totaling 346 rooms.
