You're not kidding! When I first moved here at the end of 2012, I was working for Xerox at their location at 2700 Central. I remember that Central Ave traffic was so dead that even during my lunch hour, I could walk straight across the middle of Central Ave over to Lenny's for lunch.

I wouldn't dare do that now unless I wanted to get run over. Such a huge change in only 10 years.

I'm guessing every person who knows downtown from an earlier generation will say something similar. I feel the same way as you though, I came here in 2002 and we rarely went downtown other than for Suns, D'Baks and Yotes games.

Atlanta developer plans 23-story tower in Phoenix Roosevelt Row Arts District

Apparently it broke ground? LOL New name is also Saiya? I prefer First McKinley

https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/...row-tower.html

Quote:
Atlanta-based Hatteras Sky has broken ground on a 23-story high-rise apartment tower in downtown Phoenix.

With a total development cost of $184 million, the project will include 389 apartment units and 12,550 square feet of street-level retail, including the preservation of the historic McKinley Medical Office Building.

To be called Saiya, the project will include an amenity deck swimming pool, a rooftop pool, elevated outdoor courtyards, fitness center, game room, dog park, rooftop kitchen and bar lounge.

Financing comes from its capital partner, Bridge Investment Group, a Salt Lake City real estate investment group with $38.8 billion of assets under management. Construction financing is being provided by East West Bank and Poppy Bank.

JE Dunn is general contractor for the project at First Avenue and McKinley Street. Shepley Bulfinch is the project architect.

The first residential units are expected to be delivered in the summer of 2024, said Oz Friedmann, principal and managing director of development at Hatteras Sky.

"We finished demolition of two of the three existing structures, and the third existing structure is going to remain," he said.

The building that will remain is the historic 6,500-square-foot McKinley Medical Office Building, or MOB, which was built in the 1940s.

"It has sentimental value to the neighborhood," he said.

Hatteras Sky specializes in adaptive reuse projects, he said.

"It's somewhat tied to what we're passionate about," he said. "We just felt it was a really great building with great bones."

He envisions a "cool restaurant" taking the space in the former MOB.

"We're working with Western Retail Advisors, our retail leasing broker, and we'll put our heads together," Friedmann said. "Our intent is to curate retail uses that really fit in the neighborhood as well as differentiate and be able to really create something cool and unique as to what you see in Roosevelt Row."

Friedmann said he was attracted to the area for the potential employment growth at the Phoenix Bioscience Core, which is slated to include 1.7 million square feet of bioscience and medical space.

The parcel he purchased also is within an Opportunity Zone, adding another bonus to the deal, he said.

"I was looking at Phoenix as a target market prior to Opportunity Zones," he said. "The Opportunity Zone program came together perfectly."

Friedmann said he's bullish on the Phoenix market.

"Our intention is to look for some more land," he said. "Although the timing of that is somewhat unknown at this time. I'm hopeful in the short term to be able to find another deal here in Phoenix. It's certainly part of our strategic growth."

They've been doing a lot of work. Went by yesterday and the JE Dunn construction fencing banner/wrap was up. Guess I will rename this thread to Saiya

I also just noticed in the new rendering in the article, the 2nd tower got cut about 4 or 5 floors. Bummer.

Yeah it looks to be only 7-stories instead of 13. And the double height entry and 3/4 floor amenity space on that tower were almost completely removed. A little disappointing, but at least the main tower looks the same.

Just read an article on Tuesday that the Phoenix area is still in need of 20k+ multifamily units. Very surprised they would cut out some residential with so much need for more multifamily.

Is the 7 stories going on top of the existing medical building they are preserving? If so maybe they discovered something structurally that limited what they could there.

Yes, the PHX area is short multi-family - but not all of it is needed downtown.

The 7 floors will be stand alone with a connection to the garage which is itself connected to the primary tower on the other side of the garage. The former McKinley Club will be completely separated from the garage and towers by a wrap-around walkway.

Further confirmation that this project has broken ground:

Same rendering as we've seen before - but article is not paywalled.
