new hotel to be part of developing and sprawling scottsdale corporate campus

Plans have now been finalized for the construction of a 230-room full service hotel that will go up in Scottsdale at the southwest corner of Legacy Blvd and Hayden Rd.

The project is the results of an economic development agreement between the City of Scottsdale and the Columbus, Ohio-based developer Nationwide Realty Investors that will also include around 10,000 square feet of conference space.

Called Cavasson, the project, on a total of 134 acres, is being billed as a mixed-use development including bike paths, tree-line sidewalks, community gathering spaces, and green space.

The hotel will be part of a larger multi-phase project seeing the creation of a 460,000 square feet, five-story regional headquarters building for the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company.

The second phase of the larger project calls for the building of the hotel, along with some 207,000 square feet of commercial space.

A final third phase will be devoted to building another 192,000 square feet of commercial space.

Late last year, Nationwide Realty Investors additionally announced the planned construction of two new office buildings on the Cavasson campus.  one will measure nearly 322,000 square feet, and the other will come in at 164,000 square feet.

Both of these planned structures will be five stories in height.
