Work to resume on 300-room hotel in Pleasant Grove

(The Enterprise) Construction that was delayed on a 300-room Embassy Suites Hotel due to seismic and economic issues will begin again this week. The CEO of John Q. Hammons Hotels & Resorts LLC will be using his own funds to finance the Pleasant Grove project. The two-story hotel will adjoin a 100,000-square-foot conference center and will be located on 16 acres on the southwest quadrant of the intersection of I-15 and Pleasant Grove Boulevard. Hammons has also proposed a 220-room Courtyard by Marriott on nearby property.

A nearby retail and commercial development, which is largely dependent on the Hammons project, is also proposed. The project would be a one million square foot lifestyle center with a mix of shopping, entertainment venues and restaurants. The project would be called The Grove.
