I liked the original ISTB7 design. I think the current design was a big downgrade but it’s still a unique interesting building. Better than nothing.

I think Tempe and ASU should be beyond the point where a five story pile of crap on one of the most important hard corners on campus and the city is better than nothing.

[CB1]

Agreed. Let’s have more density! Maybe they don’t want more traffic on that corner! Traffic is already pretty bad. Well, at least before Covid. But I’ll take high rises any time.

They are starting the demo of depot cantina. Old Macyo's for the new Red Development presumably.

I know people weren't overly enthusiastic about the design initially, but given the size of the project and the fact that it'll sit at major intersection between the light rail and street car, I'm not surprised the city is moving forward on this pretty aggressively.

Now we just need something equally as significant to go up on the old squatter's property.

And the parking lot W of Hayden Square...

[azsunsurfer]

This is a huge milestone. I believe they built the tower without many preleasing commitments so maybe they'll remain bullish about starting the next tower (even though its suppose to be taller)?? It would be nice if they can move forward with the hotel and apartment tower too...

Great news. Trying to get an idea of where on the site plan the new office tower will go. I'm assuming the empty pad facing Scottsdale Rd? Also, is the new hotel tower supposed to be a mix of hotel/apartments or separate towers?

That was quick, the Macayo's is pretty much gone. Cool to see the old train station fully visible again. They've also got signage up on the fence for the Tempe Depot development. Especially in light of the above news about Watermark being basically fully leased, hopefully this one moves fast.

Can someone remind me of this Downtown Flats project?

[muertecaza]

Can someone remind me of this Downtown Flats project?

No renderings nor much information of which I'm aware yet. It's apparently planned for that parking lot off Farmer by the Yard, where 'The Beam' office project was previously planned. There are red rezoning signs up, and it was previously scheduled to go to the DRC in February, but got bumped and has not yet gone through the DRC process. The previous DRC agenda said it was planned for 8 stories and 367 units. But I wonder whether it was bumped because of pushback on the 8 stories, as the powers that be have generally viewed that side of the tracks as being a "step-down" area from the higher intensity construction on the other side of the tracks.

[IndyAZ]

Are we sure its the same lot and that The Beam is dead? Tempe just listed The Beam as now having a Building Permit (BP200251) that was issued on 3/30/21. If the lofts project hasn't passed DR, then that permit has to be for the beam.

Oh interesting! I had always assumed that Downtown Lofts was taking the Beam's place. I don't think the two could coexist--the plans for the Beam were to take the whole lot. But I suppose Downtown Lofts could have been a sort of contingency plan? And they may have bumped it from the DRC because they decided to move forward with the 'Beam' plan. Because you're right, the permits are issued for demo and building The Beam. And their website has an updated brochure with a timeline that shows construction beginning now:

http://thebeamtempe.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/The-Beam-Brochure_2021.pdf

Either would have been cool, but I'm probably more excited about the Beam with the cross laminated timber construction.

[CB1]

Nice!!!! I was really looking forward to the Beam! Thanks for the info IndyAZ and Muertecaza! :)

[ciweiss]

Some interesting news on the Streetcar. It mention we might see some testing end of May. Also curious if the Beam and Tempe Depot go in at the same time which parking lots for construction/storage will be used. I will miss Maycos. I had a lot of fond memories there even though it slowed down to a crawl near the end. I will miss driving by and seeing the Caboses? I always thought they would be cool tiny homes or mini offices.

[Spitfiredude]

Speaking of Pier, they’re just starting formwork on the 8th floor & just added a concrete pump to the building. It’s moving along quite quickly at this point. I think it’s 24 stories?

I was told by someone in the industry that The Beam will act as the eventual HQ for Mortenson (the builder). I figured it got canned due to the rise in lumber costs, but am really excited to see such a unique product move forward. :tup:

Time marches on. I had some fond memories of Macayo's Depot Cantina from my time at ASU and later going to ASU games after college. Overall, didn't really care that much about it, but it's a place I'll miss. I knew I should have gone on a huge photo taking adventure over the whole of Tempe/ASU when I graduated all those years ago. I thought it would be a good idea to document "how it was" to be able to look back (like now) on the City and campus for nostalgia sake. It was a great idea actually considering all of the growth and changes, but I never did it.

With the new Novus complex announcement next to the APS land, and The Pier project, anyone know when Dorsey Road might connect from University to Rio Salado Pkwy?

[ASU Diablo]

Phoenix developer George Oliver, which has completed several high-profile adaptive reuse office projects around the Valley, bought Hayden Station in downtown Tempe and is planning a $14 million transformation.

George Oliver bought the property, which includes one, 5-story office building and four, 2-story mixed-use buildings from Bob Parsons’ Yam Properties for $26.15 million, according to real estate database Vizzda. Steve Lindley of Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller in the deal. The buildings at the southwest corner of Mill Avenue and Third Street total 107,508 square feet.

They've been actively clearing way for it since they started clearing the land. Last time I checked it was being graveled. I'll see if they've paved it all the way this weekend if I get a chance.

[BurjKhalifa2Builder]

It's not a skyscraper or a tall building of course, but does anyone have any idea when they're gonna begin construction?

Does that mean it was disapproved by the city, or simply that approval has not yet been requested? I haven't been keeping track of the details, but I am concerned that this project may be housing vaporware.

It's officially "in review for building entitlements" but the last official action was December 2019. It's gone stale, and projects rarely come out of that especially after so long.

I believe the graded dirt strip between the parking lot and the power plant will eventually be paved and become Dorsey Ln. to connect University Dr. to Rio Salado Pkwy.

[skiesthelimit]

Correct. If I’m not mistaken, Dorsey should transition to Pier Drive at Rio Solado leading into The Pier and that portion of the waterfront.

[combusean]

It looked like it was angling to the right to purposefully not connect the two in the design documents for the lowrise Novus parcel by the power plant.

[CrestedSaguaro]

The worker fell from the 8th floor to the 7th floor apparently unrelated to a structural issue. Probably took a bad step without the harness connected and fell through an opening in the floor.

I posted this zoning sign a few pages back. Per the just updated Tempe Development map, looks like the office buildings will be for Carvana:

https://www.tempe.gov/Home/ShowDocument?id=86321

Curious to see how their office space plays out. They have the buildings west of Priest, and recently leased one of the State Farm buildings. But I had also heard from a friend that many employees were not going to be back in the office any time soon (although that's been a few months ago so things could change). Wonder if these new buildings will be a consolidated campus, or if they will keep the other buildings as well.

Developer George Oliver will turn the Hayden Station mixed-use office campus into a location that includes retail and restaurant space with open-concept interiors and high-touch designs.

The 107,000-square-foot complex, located at Mill Avenue and Third Street, has been home to a five-story office building and four two-story mixed-use buildings since 1986.

[Mr.RE]

Anyone know if work at the Pier has resumed or not after the accident last week?

[urbanplandan]

I work as a driver in the City of Tempe and they notified us of road closures the next few weeks on University between Rural and Dorsey for the new pedestrian bridge ASU is constructing. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Personally I'd prefer creating a better/safer intersection and more street-oriented buildings at the intersection but I guess we're too late for that.

[xymox]

My daughter works for Carvana. I'll pass along anything I hear as this plays out. She very much wants to get into an office after working out of her apt for so long.

Carvana already has five separate HQ buildings in Tempe and Scottsdale. With all the square footage they have they ought to just build a nice signature tower downtown or on the lake where they can go up 20 or 30 foots...

No way all those five buildings consolidate into two small ones. The building at Marina Height is what - 10 floors at least...

[Mr.RE]

Screen capture from their homepage video. Can't wait to see this fully built out. Just need the Hayden mill redevelopment to take place and all 4 corners of that intersection will be complete.

Wow! This makes me more optimistic. Those renderings look fantastic :tup:

Total guess on my part but like I said before I have to think with two proposals abandoned the silo might be the problem in so far as to retro it into hotel rooms or whatever I wouldn't be surprised to find out that doing that and earthquake proofing it is probably cost prohibitive. They, (whoever does the project), should be allowed to build a midrise next to it and salvage the silo as only a historic show piece on a substantial tax credit from the City of Tempe.

I don’t feel bad for ASU in this case still. Especially when they bitched about the towers that were suppose to go in the Catholic Church parking lot by claiming they were too tall & then a couple years later went on to build Mirabella.

I’m also very anti-corporate welfare at this point. We’re brainwashed that we should never receive welfare or handouts, but corporations do all the time... just in a different way. Kinda communistic. While it would be nice to see Omni in that location, Tempe has no shortage of demand. So if it’s cancelled, oh well.

https://blog.cityelectricsupply.com/breaking-ground-ces-chandler-tempes-billion-dollar-development/

Found this article on the Pier development from July 2020. Says the two towers are going to be 30 stories which will be the "tallest structure in tempe". I know the plan review says 24 stories so maybe they are mistaken or the developer went back to the city for more height/density to add more units to get the deal to pencil? Either way this article has some good details on the development.
