CALWest, located at 6501 Legacy Drive, used to serve as the headquarters for retailer JCPenney. The three-story Class A office building was sold to Capital Commercial Investments in 2021 and is now a multitenant building with spaces available to rent, according to its website.
According to city building permits, construction plans include new retaining walls around the pond, modifications of storm sewer lines, and new hiking and biking trails around the property.
The permits for these construction projects were initially released in late 2019, but on-site construction shut down, forcing operations to stop before the projects were finished. A new permit was released last October, allowing construction to continue at CALWest.
The construction is part of a larger development plan that will see CALWest acquire multiple new structures and amenities. Among these are interior renovations, a new outdoor park and a Miyako Hybrid Hotel, according to a brochure from CALWest.
Per the brochure, the Miyako Hybrid Hotel will feature 250 rooms, a full-service Japanese restaurant, a rooftop bar and a 12,000-square-foot conference room. The project is expected to open in 2023-24.
