A landmark redevelopment project is poised to reshape downtown Prescott’s skyline, as plans advance to reinvent the historic Old City Hall site into a sophisticated mixed-use development. The ambitious proposal, unveiled at a November 14th City Council meeting by Territory Holdings’ managing partner Steven D. Shumway, envisions transforming the 1.3-acre property at 201 S. Cortez Street into a modern urban destination.
The 2.2 million dollar property purchase by Stroh Architecture, will replace the 1962-era structure with a 75,000-square-foot complex featuring a boutique hotel. The development plans call for 70-75 rooms, complemented by restaurant facilities, meeting spaces, and retail areas. A modest parking structure providing 114 spaces will support the venue’s operations.
Architectural sensitivity remains paramount in the design approach. The structure’s height will be capped at 48 feet—maintaining a respectful profile below the neighboring Courthouse’s 67-foot stature. Traditional materials like brick and stone will be incorporated throughout, creating a visual dialogue with the surrounding historic district.
