Twin Peaks Restaurant Headed to West El Paso

Popular Chain to Be Constructed Next to Former Tilted Kilt Property

Twin Peaks Restaurant will soon construct a West El Paso restaurant, and it’ll be located on the same general property that was supposed to house the city’s first Tilted Kilt location. That’s according to recent construction permits that were pulled for the site.
The West El Paso Twin Peaks Restaurant will be located on Sunland Park Drive, just west of Interstate 10.  It will be the second location in the city.

The proposed location is at 953 Sunland Park Drive, about 800 feet west of Interstate 10. The new Twin Peaks will be flanked by multiple hotels in the immediate area that combine for over 400 rooms.

Westin Hotel/Retail Complex Teased in New Video

Updated Renderings Show a Changed Footprint for High Rise Airport Hotel

A new hotel/retail complex for a property near El Paso International Airport is expected to break ground this year, and now a video is offering a fresh look at what the center may look like once completed.

The design of the complex in the renderings included in the video shows a contemporary design for the buildings, which create retail blocks on the property with parking in the middle. Bright colors, curving lines, and fountains can be found throughout the expected 80,000 square feet of retail space.

A “main street” divides the property down the middle, called Acequia Park Court. It will have retail buildings lining both sides, with zero setbacks and street parking. Other retail buildings will line Boeing Drive on the northern side of the property, including the highly visible intersection with Airway Boulevard.

Acequia Park Court will lead up to the new high rise Westin Hotel, ending at a proposed drive called High Street. The hotel shape has changed from triangular in initial site plans to a more traditional rectangular footprint. And the height looks to be a bit shorter, with between nine and ten floors included in the new concept imagery.
