Overview
- Räkkhaus released new renders describing a retro‑futuristic “glowing monolith” with Tron and Blade Runner influences and a programmable LED breezeway.
- The project is planned for 840 N. Central Ave in downtown Phoenix’s Roosevelt Row, with construction slated to start in late 2026 and a late 2028 opening targeted.
- The complex spans over 90,000 square feet, including a 20,000‑square‑foot, 2,000‑person concert and event center, an esports venue with a 10,000‑square‑foot sports book, restaurants, retail, and a party‑focused pool.
- The hotel program features 72 rooms and 19 suites as a nod to Atari’s 1972 founding, plus a 4,000‑square‑foot “Baller Suite” penthouse with a private pool, spa, and sun deck.
- Phoenix is the only Atari Hotels site moving forward after the Las Vegas plan was canceled, and the developer reports $14 million raised toward an estimated $124 million budget with public investments starting at $500 and a next‑phase target of $35–$40 million.
