Atari-Branded Hotel in Downtown Phoenix Reveals Design, Targets 2026 Groundbreaking and 2028 Opening

The relaunch pairs a small-dollar public equity offering with licensed branding rather than direct Atari involvement.

Overview

  • The project is planned for 840 N. Central Avenue in the Roosevelt Row Arts District and is presented as an experiential entertainment destination.
  • Designs by Räkkhaus call for more than 90,000 square feet of experience-driven spaces, including a 20,000-square-foot, 2,000-person concert and event center and an esports venue with a 10,000-square-foot sportsbook.
  • Features include multiple immersive nightlife environments, several restaurants and retail spaces, and an oversized pool intended for high-energy gatherings.
  • Architecture evokes Tron and Blade Runner aesthetics with a programmable LED-lit breezeway and subtle nods to classic games, while the 19 suites and 72 rooms reference Atari’s 1972 founding.
  • Developers have launched a Regulation A Tier Two offering with a $500 minimum investment and indicate construction is slated to start in late 2026 for a planned opening in late 2028.
