Amid the rapidly changing landscape and a recovering Arizona economy, Pacific Hospitality Group and Mortenson recently broke ground on a 238-room, 8-story Hyatt Place hotel in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Pacific Hospitality Group, in partnership with Mortenson, is developing the project. Mortenson is providing development services and is the design-builder with Allen+Philp Partners, the designer. Pacific Hospitality Group will own and manage the hotel.
“The construction of the Hyatt Place Hotel across the street from Phoenix City Hall is a testament to confidence in the resiliency of the Phoenix economy. This exciting development is needed to add rooms to the city’s hospitality inventory, and it’s a statement that Phoenix is a strong market,” said Christine Mackay, director, Phoenix Community and Economic Development. “It’s the rare economic developer who can look out her window and see rapidly-occurring changes in a downtown landscape. From my vantage point, I am able to see eight cranes working to add high-rise buildings to Downtown Phoenix. There are a half-dozen more I can’t see, but know are keeping construction workers busily employed.”
