LivAway Suites Tucson Breaks Ground on First Southern Arizona Hotel at The Bridges

LivAway Suites Tucson has commenced construction on a new extended-stay hotel, marking its fourth location in the state within six months, with an expected opening in Summer 2026.

TUCSON, ARIZ. (July 11, 2025) – LivAway Suites Tucson has broken ground on a new extended-stay hotel at 1680 E Tucson Marketplace Blvd., marking the brand’s first project in Southern Arizona and its fourth location statewide in just six months. The Tucson hotel is scheduled to open in Summer 2026.

West77 Partners, the development and operating partner behind LivAway Suites, recently closed on 3.19 acres at The Bridges at Tucson Marketplace, where it plans to build a four-story, 126-room extended-stay property. The land was acquired from Tucson Retail, LLC for $2,163,100 ($15.56 per square foot) in a transaction that closed June 6, 2025. Brenna Lacey of VOLK Company represented the seller in the deal.

The new hotel is strategically located near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the University of Arizona, and major healthcare facilities including Banner University Medical Center South, St. Mary’s Hospital, and the Tucson VA Medical Center. It is also within The Bridges’ dynamic mixed-use district, which continues to attract national retailers, healthcare providers, and hospitality development.

LivAway Suites is a next-generation, tech-forward extended-stay brand catering to value-conscious travelers who seek residentially inspired accommodations. The Tucson location will offer studio-style suites averaging 400 square feet, each equipped with a full kitchen, modern furnishings, high-speed internet, and smart technology features like contactless check-in. Amenities will include self-service kiosks, secure package lockers, and tech-enabled laundry facilities.

“Our residentially-inspired rooms offer multi-purpose spaces for relaxing, working and living—not just staying,” the brand notes on its website. “A fresh and modern experience through sensible, Scandinavian-inspired design.”

This project is part of LivAway Suites’ aggressive expansion strategy across Arizona, with similar 126-room hotels underway in Tolleson, Glendale, and Surprise. West77 Partners, which recently relocated its headquarters to Scottsdale, is spearheading the brand’s rollout in high-growth metropolitan areas.

The Tucson property is expected to serve a diverse clientele, including professionals from major employers such as Raytheon and Caterpillar Inc., as well as medical travelers, university guests, and relocating families. By blending affordability with upscale design, LivAway Suites aims to redefine expectations within the upper-economy extended-stay hotel segment.
