Site B-2 Hotel Project

The Site B-2 Hotel Project involves the construction of a 350-foot high-rise full-service resort hotel on a 3.72-acre vacant site at the northwest corner of Harbor Boulevard and Twintree Avenue in Garden Grove, California. The project will include 500 guest suites with balconies and an array of amenities such as a themed pool experience with a lazy river, a theater, ballroom, meeting rooms, multiple food and beverage venues, themed shops, an arcade, and a full-service spa and fitness center. A five-level parking garage will provide 528 spaces, including valet parking, with four levels above grade and one below grade. Construction is scheduled to begin on October 6, 2025, with a total duration of approximately 30 months, aiming for operational status by 2028. The site is zoned as Planned Unit Development PUD-141-01 and Single-Family Residential R-1-7, under the General Plan designation of International West Mixed Use. The project must comply with strict environmental and sustainability requirements, including the installation of a solar photovoltaic system capable of producing at least 267,000 kWh annually before certificate of occupancy issuance, the use of zero-emission equipment for all landscape maintenance, and the installation of dedicated charging infrastructure with mandatory staff training. Roofing and hardscaping materials require pre-approval from the City of Garden Grove Building Division, and carbon offsets must be procured from CARB-accredited registries, prioritized first within the city, then the county, state, and finally the United States. The use of woodburning devices, natural gas fireplaces, and fire pits is prohibited. Final acceptance is contingent upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy following verification by city inspectors. The project is being administered by the City of Garden Grove under NAICS Code 236220 and is associated with State Clearinghouse Number 2022060174.
