Mortenson to build 259-room, dual-branded hotel in Tempe’s Novus Innovation Corridor

Mortenson to build 259-room, dual-branded hotel in Tempe’s Novus Innovation Corridor

TEMPE, Arizona (April 22, 2019) – With construction already underway on a number of new projects, master developer Catellus Development Corporation (Catellus) today announced it will bring a 259-room, dual-branded hotel to the Novus Innovation Corridor (Novus) in Tempe through a partnership with national developer and builder Mortenson.

The eight-story hotel, located just north of the northeast corner of the intersection of E. Veterans Way and E. 6th St. in Tempe, will be constructed on a .98-acre footprint within walking distance of Sun Devil Stadium, and is immediately adjacent to Wells Fargo Arena and the planned Multi-Purpose Arena. Amenities will be suited to visitors attending Arizona State University athletics games and events.

Infrastructure activity to prepare for the first hotel, multifamily residential, multi-tenant office and parking garage within the Novus property began in late 2018.

The Mortenson hotel project will be a part of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation under the Hyatt Place and Hyatt House flags.

“This hotel will provide guests a welcoming place to stay, gather and enjoy downtown Tempe with immediate access to ASU’s largest sporting venues and the Novus Place retail and hospitality amenities,” said George Forristall, director of real estate development at Mortenson. “It’s an ideal step in the transformative development of the Novus Innovation Corridor into a world-class, mixed-use urban community.”

The hotel is planned to be LEED certified, with rooftop amenities that include a pool, bar, outdoor gathering area and fitness center.

Hotel amenities will include an open lobby, shaded patio spaces and banquet, meeting, and outdoor event spaces. Guests will be able to relax and socialize in outdoor environments that also will include a ground-level guest kitchen, dining and lobby bar areas.

“ASU is proud of the diverse growth of the Tempe waterfront through the ongoing development of the Novus Innovation Corridor,” said John P. Creer, Assistant Vice President for Real Estate at Arizona State University.

“As a hub for the region’s higher education and business communities, hospitality developments like this are both complementary to the lifestyle experience we are creating and essential to the establishment of Novus as an innovation zone that will advance ASU’s mission and contributions to Arizona’s economic development,” Creer said.

Groundbreaking is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23, with completion expected in Summer 2020.

Known for its leading-edge construction technology and approach to sustainability, Mortenson is working with PK Architects, ESG Architects and Design Force Corporation to ensure that visitors experience the innovative vision of Novus firsthand.

“Each element of the project, including landscape enhancements, will be thoughtfully designed to bring about the overall vision of the Novus Innovation Corridor,” said Charley Freericks, Senior Vice President at Catellus.

“Novus Innovation Corridor is committed to attracting diverse, mixed-use development. Hospitality for university visitors and business people is a key component of the environment we’re building,” Freericks added.

The hotel will provide needed capacity for the growing number of visitors to Tempe, which reached 3.7 million in 2015, according to a report from the Tempe Tourism Office.

The Novus Innovation Corridor was enabled through legislation that was passed and signed into law in 2010. The legislation permits the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to work with ASU to establish a district in which all land is owned by the university and assessments are imposed on developments locating within the district, the proceeds from which then are used to construct and improve ASU intercollegiate athletic facilities, rather than from state revenues and taxpayers.

Located in the geographic center of metropolitan Phoenix, Novus Innovation Corridor is immediately adjacent to Metro Light Rail and the regional freeway system and less than two miles from Sky Harbor International Airport.

Novus will be a model for sustainable planning and development, and is being planned and developed as mixed-use project that will include university athletic and recreational facilities blended with lifestyle and workplace uses, exemplifying the future of creative urban neighborhood design.

For more information about Novus and its development opportunities, visit NovusASU.com, call (480) 566-9900 or email NovusASU@catellus.com.

 

About Novus Innovation Corridor

Novus Innovation Corridor (Novus) is a 350-acre, multi-phased development, which at completion will encompass approximately 10 million square feet of urban mixed-use opportunities, including the State Farm Insurance 2.1-million-square-foot regional hub in Marina Heights. Strategically integrated with the Arizona State University campus on Tempe Town Lake, Novus is a partnership with the nation’s “Most Innovative University.” ASU enables companies that locate within Novus to achieve synergies through all the resources a major research university offers, including access to world-class research and a highly educated and skilled workforce. Through a public-private partnership, ASU and master developer Catellus will oversee development of approximately 8 million square feet of additional new development including apartments, offices, retail businesses and hotels within Novus. At completion, Novus will integrate private, sustainable mixed-use development with new and renovated, best-in-class collegiate athletic venues paid. For information, visit NovusASU.com.

NAI Horizon negotiates $2M lease as Zipps Sports Grill joins retail lineup at Park Central

NAI Horizon negotiates $2M lease as Zipps Sports Grill joins retail lineup at Park Central

     PHOENIX, ARIZONA (April 3, 2019) – NAI Horizon’s retail team negotiated a long-term lease totaling $2 million on behalf of the tenant as Zipps Sports Grill joins the lineup of new businesses at iconic Park Central, which is undergoing major redevelopment in Midtown Phoenix.

The NAI Horizon Retail Properties team of Senior Vice Presidents Chris Gerow, Shelby Tworek, Gabe Ortega and Associate Patrick Anthon represented Zipps Park Central LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona.

Zipps, a popular restaurant and sports viewing venue across the Valley, will occupy 6,506 SF at Park Central, which totals 450,000 SF. It will join other eateries including Starbucks, First Watch, Jamba Juice, Fired Pie, Jimmy Johns, Pita Bistro, Kobalt Bar and Thai Basil at Park Central, 3110 N. Central Ave.

“The opportunity at Park Central represented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zipps to enter the downtown market,” Gerow said. “With a new student population from Creighton University and new residents filling the proposed apartments, it will serve as their local place to grab a bite to eat, watch a game or two and enjoy a beverage. It will be an ideal eatery to serve a new client base in Midtown Phoenix.”

One of the Valley’s original shopping destinations, Park Central Mall opened in 1957 and became the center of activity along Central Avenue. It has undergone a substantial facelift with nearly $60 million invested. All its original buildings still stand, and most have only cosmetic changes.

They are being repurposed into modern office and retail space. The mid-century-modern style of the past is evident in buildings that were constructed with some extraordinary architectural touches. All of these features will be at the center of the revitalized property.

The former low-rise mall is about to sprout a tower to house Creighton University’s $150 million medical school, a nine-story apartment building, new parking structure, an arts center to house 400, and outdoor shaded meeting spaces.

Plans also call for a 278-unit apartment complex that had been a parking lot. The owners of Park Central are also working with a potential developer to build a 200-room hotel on the premises. The phase will also include redevelopment of a 193,000 SF former department store into office and retail space.

To replace the parking lot, a community facilities district has been established to build a parking garage, which is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2020.

Brent Mallonee of Cushman & Wakefield represented the landlord, HPPC, LLC of Peoria, Arizona.
