Hilton Universal City Project

Hilton Universal City Project

The Hilton Universal City Project (Project) would expand existing hotel facilities within the approximately 7.26-acre Hilton Universal City Hotel property (Project Site). The Project Site is developed with a 24-story hotel building with 495 guestrooms (Existing Hotel Building), an attached ancillary hotel building providing meeting/banquet rooms and ancillary hotel uses (Ancillary Hotel Building), a three-level subterranean parking garage, circulation facilities (i.e. internal driveway and service road), an outdoor pool area (Existing Outdoor Pool Area), and other related improvements. The Project would include: a new 20-story Hotel Expansion Building (with 395 guest rooms and a spa limited to guests and 250 non-guest members) with a new single-level lobby connecting to the Existing Hotel Building; a one-story addition to the Ancillary Hotel Building consisting of a Junior Ballroom (5,000 SF) /Meeting Room (10,000 SF) Addition; a 3-level expansion of the existing below grade subterranean parking garage; a revised surface parking program; a new Gate Entryway structure; and, landscape and hardscape improvements to the existing Level 3 automobile forecourt throughout much of the Project Site. A limited amount of interior revisions to create the lobby connection between the two buildings would occur within the footprint of the Existing Hotel Building. Also, new outdoor pool areas would be developed as part of the Project on Level 3 and the Rooftop deck of the Hotel Expansion Building. The Existing Pool Area would be eliminated and replaced by a green zone for guest outdoor use. Atop the Hotel Expansion Building on the 17th Level would be a restaurant (5,000 square feet), an indoor/outdoor bar (1,500 square feet), and the Rooftop Pool Deck. Overall, the Project would add approximately 300,000 square feet of additional floor area to the Project Site. The Project would provide a minimum of 408 new vehicle parking spaces to accommodate additional employees, hotel guests and restaurant/spa visitors. Upon completion of the Project, the Hilton Universal City Hotel would provide a maximum of 890 guestrooms and 697,521 square feet of floor area, and a resulting floor area ratio of (FAR) of approximately 2.2:1 for the Project Site.
