                                          Dove Mountain has been discovered by the prestigious
                                                                  Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company!

                      On October 18th, 2007, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. issued a press 
                  release announcing their plans for Dove Mountain.
                  Some highlights from their press release:



The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. will join with Cottonwood Properties and Greenbrier Southwest Corporation to open The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, a 250-room golf and spa resort, along with single-family residences in the high Sonoran desert, northwest of Tucson, Arizona in the scenic town of Marana.

Scheduled for a late 2009 opening, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain will anchor one of its largest branded resort/residential community in the continental U.S. managed by the award-winning luxury hotel company.

Encompassing 850 acres within the Dove Mountain master-planned community, The Ritz-Carlton project will be the ultimate in luxury vacationing as well as luxury living in the high Sonoran Desert.

"We have long hoped to open a world-class resort in the Arizona desert, and we believe the Dove Mountain project, which includes two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses and a 17,000 square foot spa, will appeal to affluent leisure travelers as well as groups seeking a resort for meetings in a luxury environment. For homeowners desiring either a vacation retreat or a retirement destination, the Dove Mountain location offers the serenity of an exclusive desert setting and private homes, plus the added convenience of the city of Tucson less than thirty minutes away," said Simon F. Cooper, president and chief operating officer of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.

               

                The Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain opened on December 18th, 2009.
