Below is a link for a kaneui-type summary of completed, under construction and planned projects for urban Albuquerque. If you compare Albuquerque with Tucson...and if you've visited the Duke City...you'll see that Tucson is currently ahead of the game and has developed more density and urbanicity (if that's a word) than its southwest counterpart of similiar size and economies. I feel we should be proud of what our region has accomplished the last few years and we should be excited for 2015.

One last point...I agree with farmerk and even Linda Ronstadt about how ugly some of our buildings are in downtown. However, yesterday afternoon while I was eating outside at Fired Pies...the urban feel, the college girls walking around, and just observing the businesses and traffic that has occurred recently in downtown was a great feeling. Tucson (the developers) have done a good job with that.
