Phoenix Area Low- and Mid-Rise Development Thread
22,000 multifamily units are under planning or construction in the Phoenix area.
https://cassidyturley.onehub.com/app.../g4n2/download I'll call that a boom, but with a weird dissimilarity to the last one--but instead of chasing after the elusive central city buyer and filling the skyline, they're filling the streets and long-term demand, and a vast majority of them are in-effect infill. Many crowded players are chasing a large market with a wide variety of buildings at varying densities. And in turn Phoenix infills and grows--because it wasn't always notable structures that created great cities, it's that there were a lot of them that were a net positive than the vaguely rural, painfully obsolete ramshackle neighborhoods and structures from the previous generation. The glut of Class B and C office/retail/hotel/multifamily that is razed creates upward demands on the vacant space while providing new customers for the businesses that remain. A city's true history happens here--it's what will be left over that warrants preservation not by fiat but by demand. Durant's has yet to sell out, for example. Anything about apartment discussion, the demand, whatever is fair game here under the general assumption that it doesn't affect the skyline. Tower projects always deserve their own thread when they get serious. Please help me out by submitting links to renders, news articles, or image links with any project you find particularly interesting.

Great post! I would add the Curve by PB Bell Companies slated for the Melrose District
|
I would also add Proxy for downtown. It's nearing being topped out for framing.
|
Great start! Add Union as well to Downtown, and Central Station if you're feeling lucky.
|
I'm not entirely sure what fits in your thread, but there's:
-Virginia on 3rd (St) - Native American Connections. 4 story about 75% complete. -Coronado Commons - Near 3rd St & Coronado Rd. (Might be for sale condos and it's slightly smaller than the others, so maybe this doesn't fit your thread). http://coronadocommonsliving.com/ There are also a couple other infill developments U/C or maybe nearing completion near 7th Ave/Highland & Pierson but I don't know their names. |
Scottsdale:
McDowell and 68th: http://azbex.com/dealership-makes-wa...amily-project/ The Envy: 2 floors up Deco also announced another project in Scottsdale. An Old town infill (with just a few units) 76th and 6th street they announced an apartment complex as well. Thomas and Scottsdale road Something going up on off Hayden and Thomas Luxury Units at Scottsdale and Lincoln Townhome Community off Miller and Osborn Handicap Apartments on Hayden West Valley: Grand Canyon University is building hundreds of Dormitory and Apartment units all the time. And isn't there a special needs living facility going up near Thomas and like 3rd street? :yes:Its fantastic! Also A number of lots throughout Arcadia and Central Phoenix and Tempe are being turned into 10-50 home infill. For Example: http://bellagohomes.com/portfolio-ty...tages-arcadia/ single family homes but much denser than the counterparts out in Chandler/Glendale/gilbert. Also lots of remodeling and tear-downs. I guess Phoenicians have finally found themselves on some extra cash. I know me and all my roommates have recently purchased new cars:yes: |

It looks like there's a small apartment complex or something being built on the south east corner of 7th ave & Camelback

Ok, so there's two projects under planning or construction at 24th and Highland:
District at Biltmore, S/SWC 24th St and Highland (4602 N 24th St): Lot acquired. 227 units on 4.4 acres, 4.5 stories http://azbigmedia.com/featured/colli...-biltmore-area Replaces the Arizona Grand Senior Living complex Biltmore Gateway, SWC 24th St and Highland: Buildings demolished. 480 apartments on 5 acres, 300 condominiums and a hotel on the remaining 3. 56' http://www.brewaz.com/content/index_...ry%206,%202015 Replaces the 378-unit Biltmore Club apartments |
Quote:
I can't find anything under development for this vicinity on Streetview. |
Why there is no super tall towers? Because of the height restrictions?
|
Quote:
These are all reasonably dense, cheaply built projects that work for the availability of land. Skyscrapers are massively expensive and due to the nature of their construction demand much higher rents than the high rents the low-rises will charge. If Phoenix lots were all filled up with dense projects, there would be more of a reason to start building skyscrapers. I expect as some of the above projects get built and fill out, there might be a market for more towers. But right now, I'd find it odd that a developer would plunk down $100 - $200 million or more when the market is as crowded as it is. I'm keeping this thread updated and adding new. Qualifications for adding are any 3+ story infill/urban project. |

Mesa (What?? Mesa?)
Val Vista and Baseline, the Dana Park Shopping center is getting denser and adding a hotel, more retail and a 320 unit apartment complex: http://azbex.com/multimillion-dollar...park-makeover/ http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/n...lated-for.html better than a standard suburban shopping mall! Scottsdale: The Standard 134 units 4 stories http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/...plex/73039232/ The View at Cascade 187 units 5 stories N Scottsdale and loop 101 https://realestatedaily-news.com/p-b...ew-at-cascade/ Midtown: Coronado Commons (did we have this already) http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/20...onado-commons/ and a 160 unit apartment complex in Prescott of all places: |
I like hearing about what the burbs are up to but for a top post I think I'm gonna restrict it to Tempe and Phoenix.
Tho I will say this: Some of the stuff that will be coming online in Scottsdale like The Moderne (Portales and Goldwater) and Broadstone Waterfront (Via Soleri and Goldwater) are actually annoying for their anti-urban qualities despite their downtown location. It's like the 1980s never stopped there. |
en Hance Park by Sencorp: Under construction, 49 condos (some live/work) on .64 acres, 5 stories.
http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/n...live-work.html https://www.facebook.com/enhancepark I am flabbergasted these things are starting at $150k for new construction. That is incredibly affordable. |
I saw that there was some infill going In at 3rd Ave and Culver. It's a small lot but it's nice to see these prime spaces filling in.
|
Does anyone know what is going in on these 2 lots near the Biltmore?
http://i.imgur.com/S20I8es.jpg A bunch of 2-story apartment complexes were demolished a month or two ago, and it looks like the sites are getting prepped for construction now. They're at 24th St. & Highland. |

And don't forget the four story buildings between the dirt lots and the church will be The District apartments (227 units).
|
The Edison appears to be doing okay.
http://downtowndevil.com/2015/10/06/...-luxury-trend/ "Lyles said 15 out of 110 units sold within the first two weeks." Good to see some quick sales with Edison before breaking ground, and Portland on the Park, with 33% sold. |

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/717/2...24bb493b_z.jpg 3rd & Roosevelt is especially frustrating as it requires bulldozing the Canvas building and the Bodega 420 house, yet has large "arts plazas" all around a stumpy 4-story building. With 20' sidewalks, there's absolutely no need for additional concrete space that will sit empty 29 days of the month. There's literally nothing but concrete planned for the area that Paz currently sits. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5693/...f5bcb476_z.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5680/...a0a6daa1_z.jpg 3RD & Roosevelt will displace at least 4 potential retail spaces, and though it will have a massive frontage along Roosevelt, the site plan shows a tiny bit of retail near 5th Street, large enough for maybe 1 restaurant in each. The rest of Roosevelt is lined with what has to be the largest leasing center in the world. Combined with iLuminate and Linear's empty ground levels, there's going to be a huge hole in the center of RRow. A project that can be added to the list is 504 Roosevelt by Eric Brown. It's moving through zoning variances, and will be a 3-story mixed use infill on the corner of 5th St/Roosevelt adjacent to Artisan Village. This is a perfect example of the kind of building that is needed in the small vacant parcels scattered throughout the area south of Roosevelt. Ground level has retail, which Brown has always been able to lease, with 10 apartments above. http://www.tomecakdesign.com/ |

where did you get all these renderings :cheers: also, even though the restaurants are leaving that corner is going to get a massive bump in population (and the restaurants will relocate to new spots on the row or downtown) |
Alliance's project on 3rd and Roosevelt is dead last I checked.
Their Broadstone Arts District project was actually shepherded through the community who wanted that sort of plaza/outdoor space, of which there isn't much of in that area. What purpose would the Arts District project serve if it were "urban?" That part of McDowell is not an urban street. The parcels are far too large for any sort of small-scale cohesive development, there's no street parking nor many street lights, the sidewalks are too narrow, it's not much of a destination even with the art museum next door because there's nothing that connects the two, and it doesn't have lots of people living near it. And even with that plaza space, it's incredibly dense. |

I have had two out of town guests in the matter of months telling me that PAZ was one of their highlights of visiting Phoenix. Although I personally wasn't blown away (service wise) I really do hope they find another Roosevelt location. It's almost becoming a tourist attracting as well as a local favorite.

55 units on 1.8 acres is something I'd see in Gilbert, not near a light rail line. |

Such a shame that such a prominent intersection could bare the typical suburban, stucco tan blah that Alliance is known for. To them going more than 2 stories is an urban endeavor in there mind. |
Quote:
http://www.nativeconnections.org/hou...dable-housing/ Their other projects seem well-suited to the specific areas they build or rehab. Plus, the area needs some serious f*ing development. Nothing is being built. Acres and acres of open lots all along the light rail. There's nothing happening on West Camelback along the light rail that far west and I feel it's a welcome addition. |

NAC razed a medical office building in Midtown for a very low density rehab facility. And 55 units on 1.8 acres is just not dense. That's like, surface parking lot garbage. Quote:

They also don't have the lot assembled for it. That means it's dead. |

Here is a bit about the Alliance Residential Development planned for the NE Corner of 3rd St. and Roosevelt. The article is dated, has some new information and seems to be moving forward with acquiring parcels. Whether it ever gets built or not can be speculated by any of us, but unless someone heard directly from them, I assume it's in process. Anytime we post a story on a development proposal it's always a guess whether it will be built in actuality.
(Scroll down, at bottom of page) http://pdf.leeazmail.com/pdfs/BREW%2010-23-2015.pdf |
^ I notice that they are not trying to include the Pappas house at 420 E Roosevelt in this incarnation.
I wouldn't hold my breath for this project. Alliance has been sitting on Broadstone on Central for like two years now, and that project isn't nearly as complicated as this one. |
Paz is closing, it looks like the subpart project on the NEC of 3rd St and Roosevelt is a go:
http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/...tery/74813420/ |
Do iLuminate or Linear include ground floor retail?
Do we have an updated rendering for NEC of 3rd and Roosevelt? The Wood Partners project was thankfully killed--maybe there's something better brewing? |

Another small infill project, 4 townhomes currently under construction on the corner of Culver and 3rd Ave right across the park from Portland. Not sure this really qualifies for this thread, but still love all these little infill projects popping up everywhere!

Anything 3 or more stories w/o gobs of surface parking is generally considered in-fill in my book and worthy of posting here.
