Marriott Opens Sale of Home Sites

Marking its first venture in residential property development, Marriott Corp. has opened sales at the Estates at Desert Springs, 34 half-acre custom home sites adjacent to the company’s newly opened 892-room Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert.

Home sites are priced from $220,000 to $540,000, and buyers must agree to build homes that reflect a southwestern style of architecture and landscaping. Two models are already under way by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The sales office is at Eleven Avenida Andra, off Country Club Drive.
