HCW Development is completing the Caesars Republic Scottsdale, an 11-story luxury hotel with 265 rooms and a $112 million budget, adjacent to Scottsdale Fashion Square. The project includes 20,000 square feet of event space, a ground-floor restaurant by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis, and various high-end amenities. HCW, with an 80-year land lease from Macerich, plans to develop more Republic hotels in cities like Los Angeles and Dallas in partnership with Caesars. The hotel, part of the post-pandemic hospitality resurgence, reflects a growing trend in hotel construction in the Valley, with 26 hotels currently under construction and 86 in planning. The project was financially supported through a joint venture of Bank of Arizona and Equity Bank of Wichita.
