The Arizona Grand Resort in southeast Phoenix is working on plans for a major expansion that could add apartment units, additional hotel rooms and new conference space to the resort’s sprawling grounds.
The resort’s owners submitted plans to Phoenix to develop some of the vacant portions of the resort, potentially adding residential rentals to the mix of uses on the site.
The Arizona Grand property is about 60 acres total, on the south side of Baseline Road west of Interstate 10. The property includes several large, vacant pieces and parking lots around the perimeter of the resort, including one piece that is in Tempe, along Baseline, north of the hotel.
“It is now time to develop portions of the site that are effectively infill sites because they have never been developed and update other portions of the property/facilities to ensure Arizona Grand Resort can continue to provide modern amenities for the area’s residents and visitors,” the resort’s leadership team wrote in a proposal to Phoenix to begin the approval process for the project.
