Shea Properties and R.D. Olson Developing Three Hotels
Legacy Park, the Former Tustin, California Marine Corps Air Station
TUSTIN, CA, March 3, 2008. Shea Properties, a leading real estate development and investment company headquartered in Aliso Viejo, Calif., has announced a deal with R.D. Olson Development, a premiere California hotel developer based in Irvine, Calif., for one upscale, full-service Kimpton boutique hotel and two major-brand select-service hotels at Legacy Park in Tustin. This is the first hospitality development deal to transpire at Legacy Park, the 820-acre mixed-use community located between Red Hill Avenue, Edinger Avenue, Jamboree Road and Barranca Parkway on the site of the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station.
The Kimpton full-service boutique hotel includes approximately 180 rooms with an upscale restaurant at ground level, a rooftop patio and bar overlooking the urban plaza and Legacy vistas, and the addition of much-needed banquet and conference facilities. The hotel is planned as a one-of-a-kind venture that puts travelers in touch with the distinctive energy, personality and pulse of Legacy Park, offering chef-inspired flavors and fresh, local ingredients in the dining facilities and lounges. The hotel is said to be similar in concept to The Hotel Solamar in downtown San Diego, also a Kimpton hotel.
The two major-brand select service concepts are designed to meet the needs of the future 5.7 million square feet of new office users. The first hotel anchors the west end of the main street and includes approximately 160 rooms. This next generation business hotel emphasizes style, innovation, technology and conveniences, with services specifically tailored to the needs of its guests. Operating under a recognizable national brand, the hotel will utilize its name to draw travelers to the exciting experience at Legacy Park.
The second, all-suites hotel-slated to include approximately 140 suites and designed to provide comfort and support for the business traveler-will elevate the traditional select service concept by incorporating unique design features and service-oriented amenities. Guests staying at this hotel will have the opportunity to experience Legacy Park on a more comfortable level.
