FAIRFIELD HOMES AND AIMBRIDGE HOSPITALITY OPEN WYNDHAM CANOA RANCH RESORT IN GREEN VALLEY, AZ
DALLAS (January 11, 2007) –David Williamson, president and CEO of Fairfield, Inc., in Tucson, AZ announced that Fairfield and Carrollton, TX-based Aimbridge Hospitality have opened Wyndham Canoa Ranch Resort in Green Valley, 25 miles south of Tucson.
Wyndham Canoa Ranch Resort is Arizona’s newest condominium resort offering luxurious two-bedroom, two bathroom units for purchase or rental. The resort is located in a scenic golf and retirement community in the Santa Cruz River Valley, with magnificent views of the Santa Rita Mountains.
“This really is like a terrific golf foursome,” said Williamson. “Green Valley is a great community, with a perfect year round climate; Wyndham Hotels and Resorts is an upscale hotel chain that is part of one of the world’s best-known hospitality companies, with hotels, vacation networks and vacation resorts in more than 100 countries around the world; Aimbridge is a well-known, well-regarded hospitality and hotel management company with properties in 11 states; and we round out the foursome with extensive experience in commercial, residential and community planning and development.”
Williamson added that the property would be “ideally suited” for Green Valley and leisure travelers, as well as buyers interested in primary, vacation and retirement homes or rentals.
“Wyndham Canoa Ranch Resort represents a terrific project and I am excited to welcome this property into our growing system,” said Peter Strebel, president of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. “Fairfield and Aimbridge have successful track records and we look forward to joining forces on future ventures.”
“Teaming with Fairfield as the developer and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts as the brand partner to create Wyndham Canoa Ranch Resort has been a tremendous opportunity”, said Dave Johnson, president and CEO of Aimbridge Hospitality, “and we look forward to similar opportunities in the future.”
Wyndham Canoa Ranch Resort is comprised of 144 planned condominiums up to 1,700 square feet in size, each with spectacular views of the Santa Rita Mountains. Suites include two large bedrooms and baths, spacious living areas, flat screen TVs, fireplaces and full kitchens, along with balconies or ground level patios. Second bedrooms and baths form lock-off units similar to traditional resort guest rooms, which can be occupied separately. Each unit has convenient access to the resort’s 18-hole championship golf course and clubhouse, a restaurant and bar, outdoor cabana-style swimming pool and whirlpool, walking and biking trails. In the immediate area there are nine additional golf courses, an eclectic mix of retail shops and restaurants, along with a newly-opened, multi-million dollar casino and entertainment complex.
