A long-awaited hotel project is continuing to advance, with a public hearing before the Beaverton Planning Commission scheduled for Wednesday.

Commissioners will consider a request for design review for the proposed five-story, 121-room hotel on the Westgate property near Beaverton City Hall, at the southwest corner of the intersection of Southwest Rose Biggi Avenue and Crescent Street. The project’s designer is Arris Studio Architects.

The developer, Canterbury Hotel Group, previously told the city it hopes to ink an agreement with Hyatt to use the Hyatt House brand. The hotel will be managed by InterMountain Management.

The Beaverton City Council in December 2017 approved a with Canterbury. The city, which bought the property in 2005 for $4.9 million, gave it to Canterbury for no charge.

Design and construction are estimated to cost $23.5 million. Deacon Corp. will serve as general contractor.

According to the development agreement, the hotel will be a 鈥渇ive-story, high-quality, upscale lodging facility of approximately 120 rooms.鈥� Amenities will include a 鈥渟pacious lobby, lobby bar, fitness facility, business center, sundry shop, guest laundry facilities, boardroom, and an outdoor terrace with a swimming pool.鈥�

A 3,000-square-foot restaurant space is planned on the ground floor, but a tenant has not been announced yet.

The city has been trying to develop the Westgate property, formerly home of the Westgate Theatre, for several years now as part of the Creekside District Master Plan. A 2015 development agreement with Rembold Properties to construct a two-building, 230-unit mixed-use development, a new hotel and a possible arts center on the property fizzled when Rembold backed out of the hotel portion in 2016. This forced the city to issue a second RFQ. Rembold, however, went on to develop the mixed-use project, The Rise Central; construction began in summer 2017 and is expected to finish this winter.
