It looks like they're using the North lot by Disney Way for construction staging.

I think that development may be the secret sauce to keeping GW afloat in the long run. US brick and mortar retail is tanking with only high end malls and shopping districts continuing to thrive. Throw in a few hundred pricey condos and some A class office space in GW and it might be fine.

>>GardenWalk Hotel I, LLC is responsible for the development of the two hotels within the Anaheim GardenWalk Project. The Development Agreement requires construction of at least one of the hotels to commence by May 25, 2015 and open for business no later than November 26, 2017. However, on May 8, 2014, Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development (OCCORD) filed a lawsuit challenging the Economic Assistance Agreement for the project. The lawsuit was resolved on October 26, 2016. The Development Agreement includes provisions to extend the performance times by the duration of litigation, plus 180 days; therefore extending the commencement of construction date to May 11, 2018 and the open for business date to November 12, 2020. The first hotel to be constructed will be the 466-room JW Marriott. The Planning Commission approved a Final Site Plan for this project in January 2016. The developer has subsequently submitted construction drawings to the Building Division for permitting. The developer anticipates construction commencing by the end of 2017, in advance of the date required by the Development Agreement. Based on the provisions in the Development Agreement that allow the extension of performance dates due to litigation, no specific milestone dates were required to be met this year.
Westgate Resorts Anaheim, LLC is responsible for the development of the 399-unit timeshare resort component of the Anaheim GardenWalk Project. The Development Agreement requires construction of the timeshare resort to commence no later than March 23, 2019 and project completion within two years. Construction plans for the timeshare resort are currently under review by the Building Division. The developer anticipates construction commencing prior to the date required by the Development Agreement. There were no specific milestone dates required to be met this year.<<
So the Hotel Developer went with the south lot first, but still has to build a second Hotel after the JW Marriott opens.
The Timeshare that will be a Westgate Resort, and should start building in 2019, if not earlier. The project is too be built above the current multi-level parking area. It will not be Apartments, Condos or office space, based on the original development agreement with the city.

I haven't been by there recently, but that would certainly make sense.
