Just checked Google Earth on my PC and Block 23 was just starting to get bulldozed. Google Maps sat view is updated to about the 5th or 6th floor of Link getting built. :shrug:

My google earth shows Block 23 and the LINK completed. Maybe an application update is needed? Or re-install.

Nope, tried to re install too. Maybe you have some kind of special google earth business account? I tried to log in to my google account and that didn’t work either.

I just checked and I'm using Google Earth Pro.

Yeah my google earth pro from work and 3d google maps all have pictures from about 2 years ago.

2d Maps has the most up to date photography from about 9 months ago

Interesting. Well, unless Mr. RE and I have an auto update setting on that no one else does or something like that, I don't know what the deal is.

You should be able to tell exactly how old the aerial images are you're seeing... along the bottom of the window is the ribbon showing: "imagery date: 8/12/2019", lat, long, elevation, and eye altitude.

Oh I figured it out, There is a slider for the date that for some reason automatically defaults to 2017 instead of the most recent satellite images. Such a shame that they didnt take these pictures just a couple of months later.

All of the construction was just starting or about too. Looks like we get to wait a year now =(

I'm at Starbucks at Park Central and it appears the lot where the apartments are going has been fenced off. There is grading equipment on site and it has been staked.

Edit: Was able to get a closer look and they have definitely started work on the apartments.

There is also a crane at Novel, 3rd St. and Earll.

A little more movement. Noticed they've expanding fencing around Knipe House to the adjacent lots where the 4 floor office is going to go. Lots of permits pulled as well. Will see some more Ro2 development soon.

Also noticed Cambria is already open. Looks really good.

Does anyone know what happened to the One Camelback project? They stripped the building and now it's been sitting there like that for months.

Permitting delays.

I’m at the Central/Camelback light rail station waiting for the train, and I can hear jackhammers at work inside the building.

Good. I was beginning to think the developer pulled the plug. Seems like nothing has been going on for months.

Me too. Between that delay and the perpetual vacant lot across the street, it’s frustrating to see development stalled at what should be a bustling intersection.

This city really did develop so strangely think of these major intersections that were and still are vacant baffalingly

Mcdowell and Central, Indian School and Central, Central and Camelback, 7th (and Ave) and Roosevelt etc etc

goes on and on. I mean I know why but its still .... :hell:

Tower crane app came in yesterday for Aspire, 282':

On a side topic, does anyone know what they are doing to the area South of the Convention Center? It's been fenced off for months with construction. Asked a guard last night what they were doing and he said repairs and that it will last for 2 years. Two years for repairs?? What needed repairing?

I've been wondering about that too. It seems like multiple corners outside the convention center are under construction. I wonder if at least part of it has something to do with the South Central light rail extension and the new downtown hub. I think part of the project is to create a new loop of track for train staging and turnarounds. Yesterday, I saw group of people who looked like construction supervisors wearing Valley Metro vests walking along 5th Street. I think it was related to this work:

I dont know but they've dug down fairly deep along most of the southern side.

I figured they were doing work under the street.

Sweet, another crane coming in January :tup:
