WaterWalk has opened its newest property under the brand’s Gen 2.0 model: the WaterWalk Tucson. The upscale property blends an upscale extended-stay hotel and home with fully furnished “STAY” units and ready-to-furnish “LIVE” units.
“Tucson hosts thriving aerospace and defense companies, government and military sectors, and healthcare institutions, making it an attractive destination for travelers of all types – from business to leisure,” said Mimi Oliver, CEO of WaterWalk. “As WaterWalk’s mission is to create spaces in communities that give people the option to live flexibly and confidently, we are excited to provide guests of another great city in Arizona with accommodations that can be personalized to fit their unique needs.”
WaterWalk Tucson is located in the South Park neighborhood, positioned in between downtown Tucson and the Tucson International Airport. The property is surrounded by a variety of restaurants, shopping centers and business campuses with the historic Old Tucson and Tucson Mountain Park tourist attractions just a short drive away.
The property has 126 rooms—76 fully furnished “STAY” units and 50 ready-to-furnish “LIVE” units that range in size from studios to two-bedroom spaces both with and without balconies. Each accommodation style has a fully equipped kitchen with full-size appliances including a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and range, along with a pantry and kitchen island. Additionally, each unit offers a full-size washer and dryer.
WaterWalk’s pipeline, which will result in a portfolio that doubles in size by the end of 2024, consists of numerous Gen 2.0 properties being constructed and additional properties under development. This includes properties currently underway in Jacksonville, Fla. (slated to open in fall 2023) and Huntsville, Ala. (slated to open in winter 2023).
