West77 Partners Opens Phoenix Office to Accelerate Growth
West77 Partners, a real estate investment and development firm, has opened a new office in the greater Phoenix market. The move expands the company’s national footprint and places its team closer to a key region for growth. By establishing a local presence, West77 Partners is positioning itself to advance development of its LivAway Suites extended-stay hotels while building relationships on the ground.
New Opportunities for Growth
As part of this expansion, West77 Partners plans to develop multiple LivAway Suites hotels across the area. With a robust pipeline already in motion, the firm is preparing to work alongside Wasatch DC Builders, an affiliate specializing in general contracting. The goal is to break ground on several projects soon—bringing new hospitality options to the community and moving from plans to active construction.
A Commitment to Best-in-Class Development
Dan Barrett, President of West77 Partners, underscored the company’s focus on excellence as it enters the Phoenix market. He emphasized that the expansion strengthens their commitment to delivering best-in-class extended-stay properties nationwide. West77 Partners sees strong potential in the region and intends to apply its resources and know-how to build thoughtfully for the long term, with quality as the throughline.
Ambitious Development Plans
The company aims to establish 50 LivAway Suites hotels by the end of 2026, including an ambition for up to 12 locations in the greater Phoenix market. According to Barrett, contracts have already been secured for more than half of these anticipated sites, and construction on several is slated to begin by the end of the year. The plan is clear: keep the pipeline moving and convert sites into active projects.
Focus on Value Creation
The partnership with Wasatch DC Builders is central to that momentum. With a track record of delivering on time and under budget, Wasatch DC Builders brings discipline to schedule and cost while aligning with investor expectations and community needs. Together, the teams aim to produce developments that fit their surroundings, function well for guests, and contribute positively to the local environment.
Innovative Solutions in Hospitality
As a developer in the extended-stay space, West77 Partners is leaning into practices designed to deliver value for investors and for the neighborhoods where it builds. The new Phoenix office supports that approach, enabling quicker decisions and closer oversight. The focus remains steady: practical, high-standard solutions that match what today’s extended-stay guests look for, without overcomplicating the stay.
