Less than a year after opening an eight-story, 210-room hotel by the Irvine Spectrum in Irvine, Calif., R.D. Olson Development proposed building another hotel next door.
Plans for the property call for a 15-story, 250-room full-service Marriott with amenities such as a rooftop bar, valet service and poolside cabanas. The cost is estimated at over $100 million, according to Jonathon Vopinek, VP for asset management at R.D. Olson.
Irvine last saw a new hotel open in December 2009.
In 2014, Olson broke ground on the first hotel in Old Town Pasadena in more than 15 years, the latest in a spate of new hotels for the company. The company has multiple projects underway in California, and the Olson name is on hotels near the 55 freeway in Tustin, on Pacific Coast Highway just south of Huntington Beach’s Main Street and in Burbank, among others
