Freakin' A! This really just came out of no where. I remember someone posting this was a pipe-dream development. This is a very significant project for Phoenix...especially if they build all 3 towers.

I had lunch at Blue Fin today (if you haven't been it's the same as Kyoto bowl or yogi's but the women who work there are all amazingly sweet) and noticed quite a bit of construction just east of the library. I thought this was just supposed to be a renovation of the current office building but the parking garage is 7 stories.

We have a groundbreaking, a website, a banner lined fence surrounding the lot, 2 bulldozers on site, a forumer posting just over a week ago that he had inside intel from a contractor stating this was a go, FAA obstruction permits were filed and now permits are getting issued for site grading.

Why would this not be built? :sly:

I've been in this city for a LONG time and been in the real estate investment industry for a LONG time. There have been enough "projects" that got this far and didn't materialize. It looks like it'll be built but it's not a sure thing just because they do a press release and feel-good ground breaking ceremony.

And the reason I made the post to begin with is all the 'celebration' so to speak happening over something that is anything but a done deal.

Call me Larry David if you wish, I suppose.

Park Central......looks like a walkway and some facade freshening. Is there more to it than i am seeing?

Unfortunately, no. It'll look better, but the suburban design of low-rise buildings surrounded by parking won't change.

I'm intrigued by the rendering showing Giant Coffee. Is this a relocation, a second location, or just wishful thinking?
