La Paloma was developed by Cottonwood Properties in the early 1980’s. Cottonwood was the community developer of the 790 acre community that set new standards for desert preservation and was the first user of effluent water for golf courses in southern Arizona.

Cottonwood developed the 487 room Westin La Paloma Resort Hotel and the 27 hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. The Mehls owned the hotel until 1988. The Westin hotel and the La Paloma Country Club have won numerous awards through the years, and are still considered among the premier developments in southern Arizona.

In addition, Cottonwood Properties, through its affiliate Cottonwood Homes, built many of the homes in La Paloma. Cottonwood also developed the La Paloma Corporate Center, which is still owned and managed by Cottonwood.
