The one at Cactus & Tatum is 1.5 miles from the 51 Freeway. That's the maximun distance from a freeway of any location in Phoenix.

The one at Broadway & Kolb in Tucson is the exception. It's about 7 miles from the nearest freeway. Of course Tucson doesn't have the amount of freeways that Phoenix does.

The crap people eat on a regular basis is astounding. It really grossed me out to even think about the standard person's diet, and I think I'm being really cruel to my body when I eat stuff that most would consider "healthy".

/\True. Has anyone seen that new Carl's Jr. commercial for the BBQ burger they have? It's huge with onion straws and gunk dripping off of it... and if you buy the large fries and drink combo, you get a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich with it! It's gotta be 5,000 calories.

Which is about my daily calorie intake, but it sure as sit isn't *that* type of food.

You are correct...36th & Campbell is going to be apartments.

Which corner? The northwest corner of that intersection already has what I consider one of the most attractive apartment buildings in Phoenix, the Cascades.

SE corner. Old crusty apartments and office have already been bladed.

Do you have a link to the developers website or maybe a rendering. I'm very interested in this project. I used to work at a Design +Build firm on the NE corner right across from that project.

This is all I could find

Perfect! That's all I was looking for. :) seems like a pretty cool project. I really love that neighborhood.

Hopefully they can get someone to partner up and make this happen, would be a nice addition, even if the proposed design isn't anything great.

Finally, the notoriously slooooooowwww Barron Collier's Co. gives it a a go. Better late than never...

wait.

wut?

how likely is this to happen?

Well, it looks like they are putting it out there "for sale", now someone has to "buy" it. It's like putting something for sale on Craigslist, how likely is that to sell? ;)

The 50 year property tax abatement is a nice perk, as is the fact that parking is already built.

Hopefully someone jumps on it.

I got the impression from a high level staffer in the Mayors office recently that they feel this is likely. Now whether that person knows what they're talking about or not, what they're basing that feeling on, etc. I don't know.

given my recent ads on cl, not very likely. :(

I love this new hotel proposal. I work on the outskirts of downtown and walk down Jefferson or Washington every day on my way to lunch. It is such an ugly, dull walk along Jefferson until you get to 2nd or 1st street but this would help at least with some extra shade. I didn't even know that there were ever any intentions of putting another tower in this space. Any details about number of stories or proposed height?

^This seems to basically be the following: Collier got tired of whoever they've recently had marketing that pad and hired CBRE. CBRE got excited (and maybe even hired an architect) and had some renderings drawn up (even using Shanghai in the bar rendering). CBRE will attempt to market the pad to whomever they can find (using the tax abatement as a lure) and hopefully get the deal done.

I could be wrong about this, but that's what it sounds like.

The developer is Avalon Partners out of Chicago. They are using an architecture firm from Chicago for the design. It is actualy going to be pretty cool. It is 5 4 story buildings linked by an open catwalk. It should fit in very nicely in Arcadia. And I really like their choice of materials. It will like nice and contemporary.
