The new 11-story hotel tower at Gila River Hotels & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass, located in Chandler, Arizona, recently topped off. Sundt Construction, Inc. is the general contractor for the project.
The new guest tower is a piece of the property’s $143-million expansion and renovation, and will connect to its existing hotel, doubling guestroom capacity. It includes 205 guestrooms, for a total of 447 guestrooms on the property. The building will feature a rooftop restaurant and a new lounge area. The expansion will also add 22,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space at Wild Horse Pass.
This past summer, the project renovated the casino floor to include new carpeting, an updated color palette, revamped restrooms, lighting fixtures and a LED screen overhanging the floor. The project will also feature adding new amenities, including a large oasis pool, an adult pool and two hot tubs alongside a pool bar and grill.
The project broke ground in late 2019 and is estimated to open in the fall of 2021. Friedmutter Group served as the architect.
