After closing down more than 10 years ago, the Mountain Shadows Resort soon will see new life.
Construction is set to start later this summer on the once-famed property on the southwest corner of 56th Street and Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley.
Dallas-based Woodbine Development Corp. and Scottsdale’s Westroc Hospitality have partnered on the project. Both companies expect the 175-room resort and 18-hole golf course to open by early 2017.
Westroc currently manages two boutique hotels, the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale and Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort in Paradise Valley. Woodbine has a portfolio of hospitality projects across the U.S., including the 127-room Hyatt Placein Gilbert.
“Woodbine has had its eye on this piece of property for years, knowing how much potential exists to restore Mountain Shadows to its former glory,” said Woodbine President and CEO John Scovell.
The new resort is expect to cost $65 million to build and will consist of 175 rooms, 31 hotel-condominium units, a restaurant, a market, a fitness facility and the rehabilitated Mountain Shadow Golf Course.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to blend the history of the property with a fresh, contemporary design that will complement the amazing views of Camelback Mountain with the prestigious neighborhood of Mountain Shadows in Paradise Valley,” Westroc CEO Scott Lyon said in a release.
The 337-room resort Mountain Shadow Resort, which operated under the Marriott flag, closed in 2004 and was demolished 2014.
