^ The land includes that little park, yes. The people developing it are the same ones who did Encore in Tempe.
Bob Graham (of Motley Design) wrote a post on Taz Loomans' Blooming Rock blog about the whole project: http://bloomingrock.com/2013/12/02/w...lt-in-phoenix/ |
/\Thanks. Good information in the post.
So, there was a meeting on December 4th regarding The Row. Does anyone know the outcome and what progress has been made? Or is it going to be squashed? |

Duplicate post.

I don't believe the Roosevelt frontage is included in any except for one - the one submitted by the current owner of that lot.
You can go searching further for actual site plans if you would like, but pages 35-37 of this document give a good overview of each proposal. RHA was the eventual winner. http://phoenix.gov/webcms/groups/int...ces/106283.pdf Bwaynoh's 2nd link includes the site plan: http://downtowndevil.com/wp-content/...row_design.jpg |
Thanks for the site plan information. I couldn't find any info online. Hopefully the current owner will develop something where the little park is. I feel like there was a general rendering showing something there (maybe RO2?).
|
Yep, IIRC, that is indeed the RO2 lot. Given the lack fo movement there, it's likely for the best that they didn't win this proposl which woildve essentially just given them additional land to sit on.

Tried getting info on Twitter, but didn't really get a ton of info.

Yikes, they really are going to try to buy support for 2 controversial projects ny combining them: Hance and the Pin. Shame. Maybe now instea of just commercial office buildings being stolen from downtown, midtown can also sart stealing hotels and other attractions as the Pin takes off.
No worry, thought, it's only chance was within walking distance of the CC/Sheraton. |
I'm telling you all, there is no way the Pin is going to happen. It is such a terrible project. It is dead ugly. An old concept, etc. We need REAL high rises, not poor projects because we have nothing else.
This was just in the Phoenix business journal...old news? or new? http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/n...ott-hotel.html 19 stories with construction slated this spring, 22 months. 4th floor pool. Any renderings? |
It's coming - the 2story white building is getting demolished.
There's a separate thread dedicated to Luhrs when you'll find all you need to know! As far as Phx development, there seem to a few pretty nice things happening around town that I hadn't heard much about: 1. Grand Ave restoration and new plans for the trolley - any more feasible? Would love to see it happen in my generation. Were the restorations done well? 2. Project Rising Phoenix - ideas submitted for Adams/Central, Luhrs Arcade and the old Matador site; finalists announced early December ... Any word on submissions or winning pieces? |

In case anybody wants to know, the Motherbunch brewery will be opening where Crossfit gym is now, in June.

Don't know if anything on a proposed 276 unit residential project called the Ballpark Apartments on the NE corner of 3rd St and Buchanan has been discussed on the forum before, but it looks like it may be going through the permitting process.
It appears that on December 19, the city's site plan review team approved the preliminary site plans. Can anyone decipher anything else from the permit search system? I know there's a historic building on the NE corner of 3rd St and Buchanan. I wonder if that would be torn down if this project moves forward. :shrug: |

Hopefully, I'm wrong about the proposed site of these apartments, as the historic building on the NE corner actually looks really nice (despite the minor graffiti). While infill is nice to see, I don't necessarily thing that older buildings should be demolished to make room for new development. I almost feel like Phoenix is headed down the same path as Downtown (Uptown) Charlotte. Charlotte basically demolished all of its historic structures for its current modern downtown. While Charlotte does have a very impressive skyline relative to Phoenix and has more street activity, its downtown just feel so bland to me. I really do hope that Phoenix is not heading in that direction... |

Looks like the owner is Phoenix Ballpark Properties LLC and the contractor is Biltform Architecture Group. Did some searching on line and came across this... http://www.graniteci.com/Portfolio/D...20Ballpark.htm Quote:

what the hell? OK, this project sucks now. They're completely destroying the existing buildings on the south side of Buchanan. A couple of those are pretty old, I think built in the late 1930s or 1940s. Plus, abandoning the actual Buchanan Street doesn't seem like a good idea to me. The two little historic buildings would look much better streetside on Buchanan, rather than buried in the middle of the development.
