sounds too good to be true.

Holy shit but would that ever be awesome!

Well the city approved their variance ... not that it really means anything, but it is a step.

The city approved its variance which was looks like it was the major barrier keeping this deal from closing. I think this fits in perfectly with what the neighborhood needs. Something medium density with ground floor retail (instead of the 20 story tower the previous owner was pushing) and by the time this things get operational, 44M should be filled up. Plus the proximity to the Biomedical campus/roosevelt area should make this a hot bed.

Anyone else notice they are completely turning their backs on Garfield? Nothing but open spaces? There is also a huge waste of space behind that South building.

Yeah, let's hope that gets sorted out by the time final plans come around. This project looks like Alta 2.

If every empty city block slated for a development like this could be developed like most european city blocks (facing the street all the way around, courtyard in the middle), Phoenix wouldn't be half bad.

It would be very exciting. Apartments seem to be doing very well! That area could use something like this. The Farmers Market would do really well too! Bliss would be rockin as well!!!!!!

While it would be nice to have retail on all sides its probably an unrealistic thing to hope for at this point. There's just not enough density to support that much retail.

Even here in Boston where everything is mid-rise density you have blocks and blocks that don't have retail but are just stoops and entrances to apartments and thats fine.

Plus there's not much along Garfield currently anyhow. If Garfield becomes more of a glorified alley/service entrance street, thats fine too, Cities need those. The important thing is retail facing Roosevelt which this plan looks to have.

One thing I'd hope they'd include, particularly facing Roosevelt, 4th St and/or McKinely would be low cost gallery spaces that artist could rent on a temporary basis. This would require less of a start up cost for the space and thus a higher potentiality of it being leased, plus it would feed into the arts nature of the area.

All in all this project looks awesome and we need about 100x more of stuff like this and Alta.

I don't know whether I like the Roosevelt project or not. On one hand, it seems very real, and the scale is compatible with the neighborhood. It will be residential and retail, which is exactly what that part of the neighborhood needs as opposed to more offices.

On the other hand, it will tear down buildings on 4th St, and it just seems like it's such a copout. A major developer waits out the boom and throws a few pennies on something so safe it wouldn't turn heads in Bethesda, Maryland. On a critical gateway intersection, we get Alta's younger brother that was born retarded cause Mom waited too long to have another kid.

On one hand, it's good to see *something* getting built in this economy. Enough brighter spots like this, and we have a recovery. On the other hand, something should be way more significant here. It's a very different kind of progress when building big and tall seems like a bygone era--see most of Central Phoenix until the late 1980s and its many monuments of greedy optimism.

It will tear down less than it will develop empty land. You suck dicks.

You are the dick, but I've let that slide. What's with the hostility to historic preservation? That strip has good bones.

I agree with Vicelord. The overall good outweighs. More people downtown helps more and creates an environment for further development and supports new businesses.

That's a pretty loose use of HP.

Name how many blocks we have left of vintage, street-front buildings like that.

no it doesn't... it has blocks and blocks of empty lots waiting to be filled up.
