The Hotels Will Share a Common Outdoor Resort-style Amenities Area
July 7, 2000
ANAHEIM, CA -- R. D. Olson Construction has begun work on the first non-Disney hospitality complex to break ground
within the Anaheim Resort Zone.
The Irvine-based construction company will provide the pre-construction, general contracting and design build services
for the two-hotel resort. Construction costs will total $26 million for a seven-story 143-room extended-stay Staybridge
Suites and nine-story 264-room Holiday Inn. The complex is situated on six acres of land at 1901 Manchester Ave.
It will total 258,000 square feet.
The hotels will share a common outdoor resort-style amenities area consisting of a large swimming pool, sports
courts, stamped concrete walkways and exclusive water features surrounded by towering palm trees. The Holiday Inn
will host an Alamo Grill Restaurant.
"We're proud to be a leader redeveloping the Anaheim Resort Zone and enhancing the environment of the area
for tourists and residents alike," said Dennis Reyling, president, R. D. Olson Construction.
Lee & Sakahara Architects designed the hotels for their owners, Bass Hotels and Resorts of Britain. Both are
expected to be complete in August 2001. Once open, they will serve as a shuttle depot for theme park visitors,
and provide accessible lodging for Anaheim Convention Center guests and business travelers.
Irvine-based R. D. Olson Development is the developer of the $46 million resort.
"This project will be a good example for what Anaheim residents can expect in new developments within the
Anaheim Resort Zone," said Reyling.
R. D. Olson Construction is a national general contractor and construction management company. It was founded by
Robert Olson in 1979 and has since built such well-known establishments as Dave & Buster's, Milpitas; Northpark
Plaza, Irvine; and Hilton Garden Inn, Arcadia. R. D. Olson Construction is the twelfth largest company of its kind
in Orange County with offices in Honolulu, Hawaii and Las Vegas, Nev. The company's corporate headquarters is in
