The $5.4 million, 126-room Hotel Indigo was a full remodel of a10-year old Hampton Inn. The remodel consisted of a full gut and redesign of all guestrooms and guest bathrooms, as well as the lobby, entry stairway, public restrooms and a completely redesigned and enlarged bar/ lounge area with a newly constructed 1,400 SF exterior balcony. Additionally, a new fitness center was created along with murals and artwork that appears throughout the hotel, which will be changed on a regular basis in keeping with Hotel Indigo’s concept of “renewal.”
The redevelopment of the hotel and sense of renewal that is captured within the project echoes throughout the Arizona commercial real estate market. One may find the same efforts in Downtown Phoenix’s urban form visions, first-time projects occurring in the West Valley, and clown to Tucson’s Rio Nuevo project. The importance of renewal, and ability to take an existing structure and create something like the Hotel Indigo, is a great example of wl1at the state strives for within the real estate industry.
“It is projects like this, where the client entrusts us with a vision and has the drive to stay the course to see it realized to such a high standard, that make it a pleasure to do what we do.” – Ron Hecht, Project Manager for the DLR Group
