NICKELODEON HOTEL planned for Harbor\u2019s west side (City of Garden Grove).<\/p>\n

The long-delayed Nickelodeon project planned for the Harbor Boulevard hotel district in Garden Grove took another big \u2013 perhaps the final \u2013 step toward putting some sticks in the ground.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night the City Council voted 7-0 to approve the second reading and adoption of an ordinance approving a planned unit development for the construction of the 23-story, 500-room hotel project at the northwest corner corner of Harbor at Twintree Avenue in the west side of Harbor, immediately south of the existing Sheraton Hotel.<\/p>\n

It will be built on a 3.72-acre site.<\/p>\n

The development will also include 17,715-square feet of ballroom and meeting rooms; restaurants that can seat up to 600 people and the Nick Studio theater, a studio hall, and 8,532 square feet devoted to retail and fitness spa.<\/p>\n

The studio will be used to create and broadcast Nickelodeon TV properties. They include shows such as \u201cSpongebob Squarepants\u201d and \u201cPaw Patrol.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a property of Paramount, which is owned by Skydance Corporation.<\/p>\n

The process has been a long journey. The city council originally approved a disposition and development agreement in 2002, but the COVID-19 epidemic and other challenges delayed the project.<\/p>\n

The project holds the prospect for a big boost in tax revenue to the city through \u201ctransient occupancy tax\u201d paid by hotel guests.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the total tax revenue flowing to the city from the project was estimated at $3.5 million annually, with $236.4 million over a 30-year period.<\/p>\n
