With its contemporary design, this 12-story, 466-room luxury hotel includes suites, banquet facilities, restaurants and lounges, public amenities, pool decks, a spa, and a fitness center. Immediately adjacent and integrated into the GardenWalk retail complex, this hotel project has been a long-anticipated component of the larger Anaheim GardenWalk Project and it is expected to help invigorate the existing retail, dining and entertainment uses within the mall. The hotel will serve an important need to the area and represent a significant positive investment in the area.

Collaboration on design and execution was crucial to the success of this two-and-a-half-acre expansion, adding 202 new hotel rooms and 48 two-bedroom vacation villas. The design complements the California Arts & Crafts architectural style of the existing hotel. The rooftop deck accommodates fireworks viewers. A new swimming pool and 300 underground parking spaces completed the expansion.

Huitt-Zollars prepared construction plans to widen 1.5 miles of highway, including a major intersection expansion at Antonio Parkway/La Pata Avenue. The work included developing new traffic signals, utility relocations, storm water drainage improvements, and right-of-way plans. Significant earthwork was required to build the roadway in mountainous terrain. Plans were prepared in accordance with Caltrans’ plan set requirements. Huitt-Zollars was responsible for topographic mapping and prepared the right-of-way requirement mapping.

Huitt-Zollars prepared the PS&E and right-of-way documents for this 3.7-mile roadway project, which eliminated a gap in the County’s arterial highway system. The highway is a six-lane arterial with a major intersection with SH-74, Ortega Highway. Design challenges for the project included crossing an existing landfill, mountainous terrain, roadway grades up to seven percent, landslide remediation, bridge and tunnel construction, and relocation of an electric transmission tower.

Huitt-Zollars provided planning, project reports, environmental analysis, structural design and calculations, and final plans, specifications and estimates for the Lost Hills Road Interchange on US 101. The project included widening an existing two-lane bridge over Highway 101 to a new five-lane bridge with an expanded cloverleaf interchange, along with on- and off-ramps. Multiple alternative interchange configurations were analyzed, to develop the plan that provided adequate capacity while minimizing community impacts.
