I think the Arizona Center theater may be overkill now, but remember, we have 6 large residential projects under construction right now that are within reasonable walking distance and I think the theater will start filling more when all is said and done. I say leave it as is for another year and then decide if it needs axed, cutbuck, etc. But AMC may feel differently. |
I saw a movie at the esplanade and felt it was the worst experience due to the lights by my elbows that I couldn't turn off, the smell of the food, and constant interruptions by servers and people getting up and passing money.
Tl;dr it felt like I was at a basketball game, not a movie. |

AMC recently took over the former Harkins / Madcap space in Centerpoint and has redone it nicely. It helps that the Centerpoint theater is two stories, making its footprint smaller than the AMC at Arizona Center. Maybe that's a potential template to follow: Demolish half the theater, reduce the number of screens, redesign the lobby to eliminate those unused ticket windows, and then build a second story if more space is needed. |

Good article on what's going on in the Roosevelt District as a whole, not just on Roosevelt Row.
In northwest downtown, new development builds momentum — with a few hiccups Hidden behind the news of residential projects along Roosevelt Row and city government conflict-of-interest allegations is a push to develop in a seemingly overlooked sector of downtown. http://downtowndevil.com/2015/11/06/...f576-355686605 |
Great to see the city moving fast w/ re-issuing the RFP again. And Trammell Crow Co. will be bidding once more so great news. I believe theirs was the best proposal so we'll see.

Someone was wanting to know about the 2nd and 3rd Aves and McKinley RFP, and now we know more about it:
6 townhomes (2 bed, 2.5 bath), 94 apartments and retail space from the above downtown devil article. I am happily proved wrong. This project is much larger and better than I had anticipated for the site. |

From the architect of Central Station's website...
http://www.berkelhamer.com/mixed-use-09.php That couldn't possibly be what's going up on the NEC of 3rd and Roosevelt? |

I would say no, if that's what they are building then why are they demolishing Paz tacos? The rendering doesn't sit right on the lot to go along with what we know so far about the site.

Didn't see this posted about Metrocenter's redo:

It looks like the parcel adjacent to the Paz/taco 3rd/Roosevelt proposal. |

Also, we have seen PLENTY of renderings of the project on 3rd and Roosevelt. I'm not sure why everyone keeps saying we haven't. It's a 4-5 story apartments with a patio restaurants and some retail. I've seen the renderings posted at least 4 times. |
^ We saw the renderings for Wood Partners project. Pretty sure we haven't for Alliance's version of it.
|
You also wouldn't see Alliance doing a rendering with DOMUS down the side of the building, which is currently a Mark Taylor brand.

It think some people are just mad that Paz will be closed but wont they just move to a nearby location? I don't see a problem. |
If I didn't know better I would say some sort of food court is going here in the bottom floor of the bioscience parking garage. Several entrance, several electrical boxes, and several patios.
