Why are you yelling

Which lot is this?

Where is this information from?

What city of Phoenix department do we need to email to try and persuade them to approve it? Planning & Zoning?

I think he is getting this mixed up with an announcement for a project close to Aspire but it is kind of behind Crescent Ballroom off of 3rd ave where they had announced wanting to build something around 50-floors.

The plan has been 48 floors:

Streets department is being a “jolly” bunch with this project because it’s on 2nd Ave and they’re anticipating quite a bit of traffic.

Yes, there is traction on this and I have known about it since a few months now, but did not want to say anything until permits start coming through. They have already submitted their FACT and PAPP on this a few months ago and I'm waiting for my public records request to come back on it. The location is the East side of 2nd Ave in the row of parking lots just South of Fillmore. I'm out camping for the week and I'll post more when I'm back at my computer this weekend.

Or... you can post now.

And then you can continue frolicking about in the wilderness.

Who camps this time of year,lol. It’s going to be raining all week and depending where you are snowing. Have fun!lol.

LOL. The camping has been planned for months with my parents. They live in South Carolina and I haven't spent the holidays with them in 3 years. Sorry Fawd. Everything is on my work computer ;-)

Edit: Btw, took my parents out to Tempe to show them how much it's grown. I noticed that the X cranes looked substantially higher driving in from I-10 West. The taller crane looked about the height of Kenect's crane and the shorter crane looks about the height where the taller crane used to be at. Can anyone confirm this or was the rain playing tricks on my eyes?

Where are u camping at? Why not get a cabin up north or something and enjoy the snow for the holidays?

Homeless people?

I hate snow. That's why I moved here, lol. Was camped out at Lake Pleasant. It was pretty nice, but I forgot to bring my kayak. I'm back in my office today. I'll dig up the new tallest stuff I have.

Here's what I have on the potential new tallest.

The project is named "Astra" and SCB out of Chicago is the listed architect along with CCBG. SCB has some pretty decent stuff, so I think this will be a good design. The addresses listed are 337-377 N. 2nd Ave which is the row of parking lots on the East side of 2nd 1/2 block down from Fillmore. They are pushing for the max height of the lot which is 525'.

I've sent in a public records request once and was sent back nothing but the deed history for these lots. I've sent in a 2nd public records request with more accurate information, so I hope they send me more pertinent info this time. I'll post once I receive it. Here are the fact finding and pre-app for Astra. Project number is 19-1918 for those that want to follow. There is also a sub development permit that was issued back in June. From what I have and from what ljbuild posted earlier and with Aspirant behind this development, I think we may have a good possibility of seeing this built.

Also, my public records request for Garfield House came in. I've uploaded it to my Google Drive for anyone that wants to look at it. Never publicly shared from my Drive before, so let me know if this doesn't work for you guys.

If the Site Plan review was done - those records should be on the phx website somewhere - with preliminary renderings?

That's why I requested another public records request. Hopefully, they send me the right stuff this time. I just received the Garfield House public records request and I requested Astra a few days after Garfield House. So it should come any time now.

I wouldn't mind if it looked a little similar to this which is also 48 stories (although 599 feet):

I was able to see the renderings for both Garfield House and Astra the other day, through an attorney. I didn’t take photos of either. Garfield House looks more like the Stewart and the upcoming Aspirant project on McKinley (is that Mckinley Green?).

Astra wasn’t too fancy in its design (no setback, cupola, or angled roof), def won’t be iconic, but it was still really impressive! Project consists of 2 towers; the 500+ footer has a fairly slim profile and balconies on the upper floors (think the Link) and the 350-400 footer is wider (think X Phoenix down the street). Both looked very sleek and will be welcome additions!
