It looks like Carvana has plans to build an 8 story car "vending machine" tower near Main Event and I-25. They filed this permit back in March.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! I had always hoped they would build one of those here. They entered the Albuquerque market three years ago and it was pointed out in the reporting at the time that it wouldn't include a vending machine. Only much larger cities seem to get those. It's awesome to see plans for one in Albuquerque!

That whole area is shaping up to be really cool! Driving on I-25 at Montaño/Montgomery and you will see the TopGolf netting on one side and the Carvana car vending machine tower on the other. How cool! The area on the east side of the freeway with Main Event also includes the new Urban Air Adventure Park with indoor skydiving that opened last year.



The TopGolf side of the freeway includes the new Revel entertainment center that just re-opened after the pandemic sidelined it for awhile after its grand opening back in early March.



The interchange of I-25 and Montaño/Montgomery is also going to be rebuilt soon in a $70 million project that will include a new bridge over I-25 and several braided ramps from Comanche north to Jefferson.
