West77 Partners Opens Phoenix Office to Build a New Development Hub
West77 Partners, a leading real estate investment and development firm, has opened a new office in the Phoenix market. The move marks a clear next step in the company’s expansion across key regions of the United States, adding capacity on the ground where growth is happening and where the team intends to build.
Why Phoenix, Why Now
The Phoenix office anchors West77 Partners’ plan to grow its presence through a slate of LivAway Suites extended-stay hotel projects. Multiple hotels are already in the planning phase. The firm is working alongside Wasatch DC Builders—its associated general contracting company—to bring these developments to life. Several projects are currently out to bid, with construction expected to begin soon as contracts are finalized.
Built on a Commitment to Quality
Dan Barrett, President of West77 Partners and Wasatch DC Builders, underscored the company’s focus: build premier extended-stay accommodations across the country. Phoenix, he noted, offers strong potential. The team is eager to apply its experience to the market and deliver projects that reflect that standard—well-designed, well-executed, and suited to how guests actually live when they’re on the road.
Plans for Hotel Development in Motion
Company-wide, West77 Partners aims to break ground on 50 LivAway Suites by the conclusion of 2026. In the Phoenix area specifically, the target is up to 12 locations, with more than half of those sites already under contract. According to Barrett, several hotel projects could break ground before year-end. The message is straightforward: the pipeline is active, the timelines are near-term, and the team is moving with purpose.
Partnership That Delivers
Working in tandem with Wasatch DC Builders, West77 Partners is focused on delivering high-quality projects within budget. The shared goal is to meet the standards investors expect and then go a step further, with guest experiences that feel practical, comfortable, and consistent—stay after stay.
A Practical, Guest-First Take on Hospitality
As a major developer of extended-stay hotels, West77 Partners centers its approach on useful innovation—solutions that create tangible value for investors and strengthen local communities. The LivAway Suites concept is designed to make the hospitality experience feel more like home, offering the everyday comforts that matter most to longer-stay guests. The aim is a stay that’s not just convenient but genuinely livable.
