Developer West77 Partners plans to build a four-story, 126-room extended stay hotel at the SEC of 91st Avenue and Interstate 10 in Tolleson.
The Tolleson City Council approved the site plan request with stipulations for drainage, retention, water lines, screening, landscaping and similar items in its July 9 meeting.
The LivAway Suites hotel will be situated adjacent to a recently constructed McDonald’s and Starbucks.
The C-2 commercial zoning for the property has been in place for approximately 40 years, according to City officials, and a hotel use is permitted by right.
West77 Partners Chief Development Officer Paul Duncan presented the project to Council and explained LivAway is a sister company/spinoff brand from West77, which has traditionally focused on multifamily development. He explained West77 had previously developed Woodsprings Suites hotels for the Choice Hotels brand but decided to branch off on its own to develop lodging facilities according to its own vision.
