ANAHEIM, Calif.
Site owners of the current Anaheim Plaza Hotel filed an application with the city to redevelop the property to a new, 580-room luxury hotel under the city’s Four Diamond Hotel Incentive Policy.
Good Hope International, the owner of the Anaheim Plaza Hotel site, filed the preliminary development application with the Anaheim Planning Department on Tues., Nov. 3, 2015.
"We are big believers in the Anaheim hotel and tourism market," said Paul Sanford, asset manager for the Wincome Group in Orange County. "With the recent decisions by the city to expand the Anaheim Convention Center and by Disneyland to invest another one billion dollars in Anaheim, it is clear that this will continue to be one of the top tourism markets in the world for decades to come.”
Plans for the redevelopment of 1700 South Harbor Boulevard include 580 luxury hotel rooms with a healthy mix of suites; a grand entrance off of Harbor Blvd.; a luxury pool and spa on the second deck of the hotel in an upgraded central courtyard; 50,000 square feet of meeting space; 25,600 square feet of retail facing Harbor Blvd. including a signature restaurant at the corner or Harbor and Disney Way; and a pedestrian bridge connecting the rear of the property directly into the GardenWalk Mall.
The application to redevelop the site will be in the Anaheim Planning Department for two to three months, and is expected to be before the Anaheim Planning Commission in early spring 2016, and before the Anaheim City Council in late spring or early summer.
