California's R.D. Olson Construction has broken ground on Talus La Quinta, a luxury resort in Coachella Valley, which is being developed by The Robert Green Company. Upon completion, Talus will include hotels from two noteworthy brands, a conference center, golf clubhouse and spa. The 134-room luxury hotel and a 200-room lifestyle hotel will sit along side 29 branded single-family homes and 55 condominiums.
R.D. Olson has started the first phase of construction, which includes a $90 million build-out of the luxury hotel’s common areas including a full-service spa and landscaping, as well as a golf clubhouse and conference center. The first phase is expected to be complete by May 2023. The second phase, which will break ground in mid-2022, will encompass the second lifestyle hotel.
Constructed on a single story, the project has a simplistic design with glazing and horizontal lines on the façade, tall ceilings and stone flooring. The 40,000-square-foot hotel's common space will include a lobby bar, three retail shops and private dining area surrounded by a valet parking center, three pools, a pool bar, cabanas and an event lawn.
The property will house a 12,000-square-foot golf clubhouse including a pro shop, restaurant and golf cart area. Adjacent, a nearly 68,000-square-foot conference center will have both main and junior ballrooms, allowing for event space flexibility with a separate conference room and employee operational area. The detached spa will have a salon, fitness and yoga center, retail area, locker rooms, hot and cold spas, 10 spa treatment rooms, a couple’s treatment room and a spa-centric swimming pool.
The resort is tucked into the base of the Santa Rosa Mountain Range, next to a golf course. Multi-slide glass doors will open spaces up to expansive views including the fairway, mountains and the man-made reflection pond. The property’s hardscaping and landscaping will utilize full-sized planting materials and granite for the paths and walkways, and will also include two manmade lakes nestled between the guestrooms.
