Search for SilverRock and you still find renderings of a Montage and a Pendry beside the Arnold Palmer course. Neither hotel opened, and the two-hotel plan behind them is gone. Since September 30, 2026, crews have been demolishing 13 partly built Montage residences on the site. The plan that will replace them has no hotel brand and no opening date, and it won't go to public review until this winter.
That leaves the property in an odd position for neighbors at The Hideaway, whose club sits at 80-440 Hideaway Club Court, with the Hideaway Properties office at 53-000 Jefferson Street. This fall at SilverRock, the resort side is coming down, and the side you can use belongs to the City of La Quinta: the golf course, the grill, and the park by the entrance. Between now and early December, those city-owned pieces host a family festival and an IRONMAN finish.
The Resort Is Shrinking Before It Gets Built
In December 2025, Turnbridge Equities bought the roughly 134-acre site through its subsidiary, TBE RE Acquisition Co. II. The bankruptcy court approved the sale for $65 million. For most of 2026, the new owner talked about preserving what was already there. At the June 2, 2026 City Council update, Turnbridge managing director Michael Gazzano said lab tests on core samples showed "there is still significant structural integrity in each of those buildings." He also said tarping would soon go up to protect the structures.
Four months later, the plan had changed. At La Quinta's State of the City presentation, Mayor Pro Tem Kathleen Fitzpatrick said Turnbridge had brought in crews to remove 13 partially constructed Montage residences. She said the work would take four to five weeks, as Greater Palm Springs Business Insider reported on October 5. On that timeline, demolition runs into early November. The reporting doesn't say what happens to the other partly built structures on the site, and nothing published so far covers noise, dust or truck routes for the demolition itself. By the June update, the owner had already sprayed a dust suppressant across the site and said it should last 12 to 18 months.
Fitzpatrick's own summary, as quoted by the Business Insider:
"All of the things that you've been waiting to see, you're going to see soon."
The same article notes that the project has spent years missing deadlines and changing hands, and that the next real test is approval of the new site plan.
What the New Plan Moves Toward Avenue 52
The demolition makes more sense once you set the old SilverRock beside the new one. The city's Talus project page still describes the earlier two-hotel concept. That description is now historical.
| Former Talus plan | Turnbridge plan, per the City's June 2026 update | |
|---|---|---|
| Hotels | A Montage and a Pendry | One luxury hotel of roughly 154 rooms |
| Hotel brand | Named | Not announced |
| Opening targets | Sept. 30, 2023 and July 31, 2024, later moved to March 2025 and December 2026 | None announced |
| Residences | Hotel-branded residences | 445 in the city's stated total, including 29 branded residences with a private clubhouse, plus 70 condos and 293 homes east of the hotel |
| Golf clubhouse | A new clubhouse planned within the resort | A new clubhouse moved closer to the Avenue 52 entrance |
| Other | Hotel pools and fitness facilities | 55,000 sq. ft. banquet and shared-use space, 40,000 sq. ft. commercial area, 20,000 sq. ft. community building |
Under the amended development agreement the City Council approved in September 2025, the 70 condos and 293 homes may operate as short-term vacation rentals, and the city would collect transient occupancy tax on those stays. On its own project page, Turnbridge says it has a management agreement with a global luxury hotel brand, but it doesn't name the brand.
The three residence types the city lists add up to 392, and the June update doesn't say what makes up the other 53 in its 445 total.
The table shows a change in where things go. Taken together, the relocated golf clubhouse, the community building and the commercial space shift the everyday, public-facing part of SilverRock toward Avenue 52, where the park already sits. The June city update says the clubhouse move is meant to give the public easier access.
The Next Twelve Months, by Date
Every item below has a printed date in a current source. Anything without one has been left off.
- October 12 to 30, 2026. The SilverRock course is closed for overseeding.
- Early November 2026. The four-to-five-week demolition window that began September 30 is expected to wrap up.
- October 30 to November 24, 2026. The course reopens, cart-path-only.
- November 15, 2026. Fall Family Festival at SilverRock Park, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- December 4 to 6, 2026. IRONMAN Village expo at SilverRock Park.
- December 6, 2026. IRONMAN 70.3 La Quinta race day.
- December 2026 or January 2027. Turnbridge's site development permit application, along with the first public renderings, is expected to go to public review.
- Second or third quarter of 2027. The hoped-for start of construction, once permits are approved and construction documents are done.
There's a gap between items 7 and 8. In June, Gazzano told the council that construction was "on track to start by next summer." The October timeline puts the start anywhere from spring to early fall of 2027, depending on approvals.
The City's Half of SilverRock Carries the Season
While the resort parcel waits, the city-owned pieces keep running on their own schedule.
The course. The city owns the Arnold Palmer-designed course and books public tee times. It opened on Valentine's Day 2005. All 18 holes were scheduled to reopen on August 28, 2026, after summer turf work. Then the course closed again today, October 12, for overseeding. SilverRock's schedule shows a reopening on October 30, with carts on paths only through November 24.
The grill. SilverRock Grill is the existing golf-course restaurant. It isn't part of any announced hotel dining plan. Its listed hours are 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The 2 p.m. summer close ran June through September, so the longer afternoon hours are back in effect.
The park. SilverRock Park opened with a ribbon cutting on April 17, 2021. The city lists it at 51900 SilverRock Way, at the entrance to SilverRock and to the left of the drive. Its 14 acres include an amphitheater, an event building, a lake and stream, a walking path, art pads, benches, restrooms and open space, and the city's facility listing says it's available to rent.
The park hosts the two biggest public dates on SilverRock's fall calendar. The first is the Fall Family Festival on Sunday, November 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Palm Springs Life lists About Families as the presenter. If you're looking for the city's October Fall Fest on October 16, it's at La Quinta Park, not SilverRock.
Race Day Puts the Bike Course on Jefferson Street
The second big date is the busiest morning SilverRock will see before construction starts. IRONMAN's 2026 event schedule, last updated August 31, sets race day for Sunday, December 6. Swim starts and the first transition are at Lake Cahuilla. The second transition, where athletes switch from bike to run, is at SilverRock Park.
The bike route matters most for anyone with a Jefferson Street address. According to the official 2026 bike course map, riders start on Cahuilla Park Road and continue onto Jefferson Street. From there they take Quarry Lane, Avenue 58, Madison Street, 60th Avenue, Van Buren Street, Monroe Street, Jackson Street and Avenue 66 out through the Thermal and Vista Santa Rosa area before finishing on Avenue 54.
The 13.1-mile run is 2.5 laps of SilverRock Resort paths, Avenue 54, Ahmanson Lane and SilverRock Way, finishing on the resort path. In other words, the property's walking paths double as a finish chute for the day. Avenue 52 appears on the run map graphic, but it isn't listed as a course segment.
The race weekend starts earlier at the park. An exhibitor page for the IRONMAN Village Health & Fitness Expo lists SilverRock Park for December 4 through 6. Posted hours are noon to 5 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on race day. That page is run for exhibitors, not by IRONMAN itself, and the City of La Quinta's IRONMAN page still says detailed 2026 resources are coming soon.
There's no 2026 road-closure schedule yet. IRONMAN's traffic impact page is still titled "2025 Traffic Impact" and was last updated October 20, 2025. The 2025 guide restricted Jefferson Street between Avenue 52 and Avenue 54. That was last year's plan, though, and the 2026 closure times and detours won't be confirmed until IRONMAN posts the new advisory.
Nyla Doering is following the SilverRock site plan as it heads to public review this winter. When the first renderings come out, she can walk you through what the relocated clubhouse, the new residences and the hotel timeline could mean for a home at The Hideaway, whether you're planning to stay or thinking about a sale.
