This Obama conversation has been dragging on for far too long.
Please, no more posts on the matter. |

On a related note, you might be happy to learn that spitfirdude and I have taken care of it through PMs so as to avoid getting too political or too far OT. About TOD, does anyone know if the Metrowest/Sustainable Communities Collaborative development on 1st and Roosevelt is supposed to look like this: http://www.lisc.org/phoenix/images/w...e584_16798.jpg Construction should begin sometime later this year, "before the end of the year" is what we have been told, and ready by September 2014. http://www.lisc.org/phoenix/what_we_do/tod_update.php |

I'm still not convinced that this project will actually happen. |

That is a rendering of the Mesa TOD project referenced in the article. :)

Also, the historic building on the SEC of Central and Roosevelt is moving ahead full steam now. Passed by there not too long ago and the building has workers inside and out and the large (what used to be garage) door is open. Someone in the area with a good camera would be able to get some great shots of the brick building. There is a backhoe digging up what was the parking lot on the north side of the building. I hope the work being done on the façade is as beautiful as the rendering. |
I really hope the owners are going to build their project, rather than get the lot improved and just sit on it. I would have thought it would be further along at this point... but maybe they are biding their time because they have to wait until leases run out at the existing apartment building. That's going to be demolished as part of their plans.
The historic building is the DeSoto building, check out the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheDesotoBuilding |

Yes, that's it the DeSoto Building. Before picture and after rendering: http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/featur...s/13000019.jpg http://www.downtownphoenixjournal.co...o3-300x184.jpg |
/\ Good information, I didn't know about the Sustainable Communities Collaborative.
Farther along meaning: plans, renderings, anything. Maybe they're doing a lot behind the scenes and being tight lipped about it (just because there aren't any new permits doesn't mean they aren't doing anything)... however if they're planning to be U/C by the end of this year that gives them very little time to pull permits, get their plans approved through PC, council, etc. That can take a long time, I don't believe they can get all of their approvals starting from scratch right now by the end of this year. At this point, for all we know, nothing has happened except the information you just provided, and the fact that they released a tiny bit of the info about the size of the future development, and that they've tied together the lot and improved the utilities. I feel like we should know more and see more progress by now. |

Also, you can start underground work with a different permit than your construction permit, so I know of many projects where construction has started while the city is still reviewing the drawings. In fact, there are some that are still being designed and finalized while the digging has begun. |
