Top Turtle Creek site eyed for hotel, residential and office project



Project Location

Developers who own a key property just north of Uptown are proposing a high-rise hotel, residential and office complex.

But now Prescott plans to lure a five-star luxury hotel and also build condominiums, apartments and offices on the site near the Mansion on Turtle Creek Hotel.

"We have, with 5.5 acres, one of the last sites large enough on Turtle Creek to create a world-class mixed-use project," said Prescott president Vance Detwiler.

"We've gotten calls from several luxury hotel brands that are interested in the site."

Detwiler said the property is zoned for office, hotels and multifamily residential construction.

Prescott intends to ask city planners for approvals to make the project about five stories taller than is currently allowed and to remove prohibitions against serving alcohol."

Areas in front of and between the high-rises are being set aside for landscaped plazas and restaurants.

"The extra height we are asking for will allow us to have slimmer, more elegant buildings with more open space," Detwiler said.

Prescott is planning for the hotel to have more than 200 rooms, with 35 to 40 large condos on top.

A separate tower would have rental apartments.

And a 15-story office building would go near the back of the property.

Detwiler said construction could start as soon as the end of the year or early 2019 if the developer obtains needed approvals.
