A move to Scottsdale could potentially increase attendance or per ticket sales prices, especially as more sports teams (such as phoenix rising) consider that area for their stadiums. It would be awesome to have a scottsdale sports/entertainment district other than Westgate on the west side of Phoenix. Just speculation on my part, but all could be drivers for a relocation plan.
Perhaps but you will have all these disparate entertainment districts MILES from each other. Proposed PHX Rising arena will be 10 miles away from Salt River Fields if DBacks decide to build near there.

Also, I don't buy the whole affluent demographic argument, higher attendance or that they can charge more per seat if they move to Scottsdale. For the Coyotes situation, a resounding yes. But for the DBacks? It's been proven that the DBacks can put 35K+ butts in seats for either a marquee opponent or a weekend series, even in the brutal summer. Couple that with putting a winning team on the field, and the fans will come. The problem is that it's too big. I think the real driver here is owning/building an entertainment district around the ballpark and u make additional revenue that way as well. Giving the DBacks ownership of Chase Field (maintenance, booking events) was a step in the right direction.

The affluent argument is less so than the physical location. I just think in Rush hour traffic, you can get more people to games in Scottsdale than downtown phoenix whom live in mesa, gilbert, chandler etc. Now that may change when the loop 202 is complete but I agree with your point that a more boutique stadium size that could potentially lead to selling out more games would be the best move. It just looks barren with the amount of empty seats when in reality most games do have a high attendance in terms of # of people.

Perhaps. But rush hour traffic in that area is already bad. A spring training game in that area on a weekend is twice as bad and that's just 11K fans. Imagine possibly triple that? At least in downtown, there is public transportation and the influx of thousands of residents over the next couple of years that will live nearby and can walk/light rail it up.

Exactly. Comparing Spring training attendance at 11k which includes a lot of out-of-towners, remnant snowbirds and retirees is a completely different scenario than a 35k+ season game during after-work rush hour and a much larger local attendance.

The affluent argument doesnt hold for baseball games, Dbacks draw as much west valley attendance as east valley attendance.

Now if we are talking Hokey, thats a sport that appeals to Scottsdale Demographics.

It seems strange that these sports teams invested time and money to locate downtown in the 1990's when it was shit, wish to leave now that its popular.

All that says to me is that the city isnt doing a good job selling.

Agree that the city is not a good salesman. However, getting voter approval could be part of that reason. I am not sure residents will go for new stadiums at this time. We are barely getting future LTR to stay afloat as it is.

However, with the strides that Downtown is now making, the last thing Phoenix will want is the Diamondback (and possibly Suns) pulling up stakes and going elsewhere. Granted, Downtown can probably sustain itself at this point, but why risk it? Phoenix will cave IMO if their hand is forced.

Yes! And now that Maricopa County is out of the picture, Phoenix can partner directly w/ the DBacks about their future in downtown. I really hope something materializes from Hines regarding their interest to purchase most of 3rd St down to Washington St. Private/public partnership for a new Suns arena and then do something about the DBacks to get them to stay (either reno or new land in downtown)

Scottsdale offices to be torn down to make way for new Kierland apartments

A couple office buildings going down for more residential in the Kierland area:

Quote:
Catherine Reagor, Arizona RepublicPublished 3:16 p.m. MT Dec. 5, 2018

Homebuilder Lennar Corp. has purchased two Scottsdale office buildings in Kierland that it plans to tear down to make way for new luxury apartments.

The company paid almost $18 million for the two buildings, located on about four acres, public estate records show.

The apartment project is planned for along 71st Street between Paradise and Tierra Buena lanes in the high-end shopping, office, resort and residential area that straddles the Phoenix/Scottsdale border.

“It is unusual for the sale of two high-quality office buildings to result in demolition,” said Greg Hopley, executive vice president of Colliers International in Phoenix, who brokered the sale. “This is indicative of the premium being placed on well-located multifamily sites during this very robust cycle of apartment development.”

Lennar plans to start construction on the apartment project next Fall. The complex could be as tall as six stories and may also include townhomes.

Developer DMB has been planning a hotel/condominium/retail high-rise in Kierland, but hasn’t received zoning approval.

There are four Optima Kierland apartment and condominium towers recently built or planned in the area.

Condo prices in Kierland now easily top $1 million. The area also has some of the Valley’s highest apartment rents, with two-bedroom rentals costing more than $1,800 a month in some complexes.

A vertical crane was installed today at the Ritz Carlton site in PV. This project is now moving very quickly! Parking garages (underground) and other structures are already finishing up.

They've been posting updates all along showing off construction on their FB page--here's one showing all of the progress so far.

Does anyone have access to this article? Looks like it could be a promising project. I don't think I have heard of this project before. Rendering on the article shows up to 12 floors?

After announcing plans for $500 million worth of Phoenix-area projects, Related Group has submitted plans for its first proposed development near Scottsdale and Thunderbird roads.

Miami-based Related Group submitted plans to the city of Phoenix proposing a 293-unit apartment complex, called Manor Scottsdale, at the site of an LA Fitness, which is soon to be vacant, according to city documents.

The two-story complex's lowest portion will be on the western side, which backs up to single-family homes. The buildings gradually increase in height as the project moves westward, reaching five stories on the side that will front Scottsdale Road. The development is proposed to include a five-story parking garage that will be “wrapped” by the residential units to hide it from view.

Last month, Jorge Pèrez, founder and CEO of the Related Group, said Phoenix was high on the company’s priority list for expansion. Related Group specializes in ground-up development, but also will acquire and renovate existing buildings if it finds the right fit, Pèrez said. The company wants to expand in the Southwest, and Pèrez said he believes it will bring an experience the Valley has never seen in multifamily living.

The company is interested in Tempe, Scottsdale and Phoenix's downtown Phoenix and the Deer Valley area, Pèrez said. The company develops multifamily projects ranging from affordable and workforce housing to luxury condominiums.

“The DNA of our company is one of creativity. We are design-driven,” he said in November. “We put more art inside and outside our developments than any other developer. We pay huge attention to beauty, design, architecture and art.”

This is interesting, Caesars is expanding into new hotel brands 1st of which will open at Fashion Square



https://azbigmedia.com/caesars-plans...in-scottsdale/

Quote:
Caesars Entertainment Corporation, the world’s most diversified casino-entertainment company today announced plans to open Caesars Republic Scottsdale, its first non-gaming hotel in the United States, as part of its plan to expand its brands and loyalty network through its licensing strategy.

Caesars Republic Scottsdale will be located adjacent to the region’s premier luxury retail destination, Scottsdale Fashion Square, and will be a four-star hotel developed by HCW Development and operated by Aimbridge Hospitality. Caesars Entertainment will license its brand, advise on design elements and integrate the industry’s leading loyalty network Total Rewards.

“Caesars Republic Scottsdale represents the introduction of a new world-class brand and further progress on our strategy to expand our non-gaming business into premier destinations,” said Caesars Entertainment President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Frissora. “This project will be our first non-gaming asset in the United States and demonstrates the global strength of the Caesars brand. We look forward to partnering with HCW Development and Aimbridge Hospitality to create a world-class experience in one of the nation’s most desirable communities.”

This modern 11 story glass structure with 266 rooms will be developed at the intersection of North Goldwater and East Highland Avenue. This high-profile location will allow the Caesars Republic Scottsdale guests the ability to walk to the state’s most elegant mall.
The interior décor will feature rich textures and strong architecture, juxtaposing soft curves and bold accents in a chic and classy lobby, with designs curated throughout the guest rooms. The first-floor bar will be the spot for an after-work cocktail or glass of wine after a day of shopping. The signature restaurant will feature a sophisticated, high-energy environment that will synergize with surrounding trade areas, catering to both locals and hotel guests alike. There will be an abundance of outdoor seating on the patio with fantastic views of Camelback Mountain. In addition, there will be a coffee shop, ideal for a casual business breakfast or as a grab-and-go option for those on the run.

The guest room experience will set the standard for rooms and amenities in Scottsdale. In addition to the mixture of kings, double queens, one and two-bedroom suites, the hotel will also feature a bridal suite, and on the 11th floor, five luxury entertainment suites. On the second floor, there are five breakout rooms which will accommodate up to 40 people each or can be opened for events up to 200. The second-floor executive board room is capable of seating 16 at a permanent table.

Caesars Republic Scottsdale will house a 7,000-square foot column-free ballroom with 34-foot sliding glass doors which open out onto the adjacent lawn, suitable for outdoor events for up to 600 people. The ballroom is divisible into four sections and can accommodate banquets up to 500. The ballroom’s LED lighting system will allow event organizers to customize the look and feel of their event with the ability to change the ceiling color. Additionally, the ballroom will feature a cutting-edge sound, internet and audio-visual system.

The most stunning part of Caesars Republic Scottsdale will be the 7th floor, encompassing a rooftop pool and bar – the only rooftop pool in Scottsdale – featuring breathtaking views of Camelback Mountain. The pool will host activities such as yoga at 9 and champagne at 11. The rooftop bar will feature specialty drinks by HCW’s award-winning mixologist. There will be weekend brunches and lively afternoon energy year-round. This area will also serve as private event space for exclusive groups or company events. Adjacent to the pool will be the hotel’s state-of-the-art fitness center.

“We are very excited to work alongside our new partners to introduce the Caesars Republic brand to the world,” said Richard Huffman, Chief Executive Officer and President of HCW Development. “Scottsdale is a vibrant community and we are confident that this high-end facility will provide a truly unique and dynamic experience to both locals and guests traveling from afar.”

Caesars Republic offers a new kind of lifestyle hotel experience; the first brand from Caesars Entertainment designed exclusively for non-gaming hotels. Caesars Republic is a brand with an edge: it inspires the imagination, pushes creative boundaries, and collaborates with trendsetters.

The brand pays homage to the dynamic energy of Las Vegas – celebrating rebellious spirits and beckoning its guests to unleash their alter egos. Just as all republics are social in nature, Caesars Republic incorporates thoughtful details and brand rituals to facilitate connections among its guests.

No two hotels within the brand will be exactly alike – everything from the décor to the culinary offerings are inspired by local traditions and tastemakers. Caesars Republic taps into the unique pulse of each host city, amplifying its energy and culture.

“We are honored to partner with Caesars Entertainment and add a hotel with the iconic Caesars brand to our management portfolio,” said Aimbridge Hospitality President and Chief Operating Officer, Robert Burg. “We share Caesars’ commitment to operating excellence and look forward to managing Caesars Republic Scottsdale.”

Scottsdale is an ideal market for the introduction of the Caesars Republic brand. Scottsdale hosted an estimated 4.5 million overnight visitors and 4.4-million-day trip visitors in 2017. Caesars Republic Scottsdale will be located just north of Scottsdale Fashion Square. Owned and operated by Macerich (MAC), Scottsdale Fashion Square features an elevated luxury wing anchored by Neiman Marcus, plus a new flagship Apple, and more than 200 shopping and dining options including market exclusives Saint Laurent and a recently announced Nobu.

“Our market-dominant Scottsdale Fashion Square is the natural home for the innovative new Caesars Republic hotel concept,” said Ed Coppola, President, Macerich. “The addition of this exciting new hotel is part of the next phase of development for our exceptional mixed-use property, which also will introduce Class A office space and upscale residences to bring even more value to this one-of-a-kind destination.”

This announcement follows the late 2018 opening of Caesars Entertainment’s two beachfront luxury resorts and beach club on Meraas’ Bluewaters Island in Dubai. Additionally, Caesars announced plans last year to develop a non-gaming Caesars Palace resort along the coast of Puerto Los Cabos, Mexico.

Incredible news! Seems like Scottsdale is being put on the map as a luxury destination that may soon one day rival Beverly Hills.
