Phoenix CityScape Thread
Okay, I'll start it.
Post here new articles, renderings, updates, chat, etc., in regard to the CityScape project. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...x/untitled.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ScapePlan1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../CityScape.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...cityscape5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...cityscape3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...cityscape2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...cityscape1.jpg |
Sorry, I have nothing to post about it but wanted to say that the project looks great!!
|
Looks like a great space! Do you know the cost for the project?
|
The site plan doesn't make very much sense. The views on the residential towers are obstructed for no good reason.

A New Thread is Born!
:baby:
Thanks for birthing the Cityscape thread camelback road! This should be an exciting one. I hope the C-scape project team keeps tabs on us. In addition to the news, there have already been some great insights as to what many of us hope will happen with this pivitol project. The stakes are high and the opportunity is a tremendous one! |
Obstructed Views?

:hmmm: I think the site plan has the labels for the residential towers reversed with the office towers. The rendering shows the taller residential towers (notice the swimming pools at about 300') offset so they capitalize on the views as much as possible. The view is obviously a major selling point with hi-rise condos. I believe its an oops. |
I like it, except for that pedestrian bridge. Big curvy ped bridges that turn crossing the street into an unnecessarily long walk are a feature of bad wannabe-urban design.

I'll save my commentary on this project till I actually see something out of the ground...but...
Anybody see what I see in the plan below? The block for PSP should be the downtown transit center (I realize there would be issues with the amount of paving required for busses, but what about putting them underground?). Hmmm... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...cityscape3.jpg |
I wonder why CityScapes website, www.downtownphxrising.org, is down?

Does anyone have news on the PSP compromise? Hopefully, they'll get this done without a major fight, but knowing Phoenix it'll have to go to the voters. All for a piece of crap park that nobody but the bums and drunks uses.
|
The park seems to be holding up a lot. It will probably be 6 months before they even come to some sort of design, let alone actually break ground on anything.
|
Do the developers have to keep the park space on the block its currently on, or can it be on any of the blocks? It seems to me the park would be better suited one block to the east, with Cityscape buildings on both sides of it. Leaving the park open in that space would allow for a lot of foot traffic to travel between the arenas/whareouse district to the financial and business towers north of Washington.
Either way, the developers need to figure out a way to make foot traffic almost force its way through the park. |
I think they almost have to keep it on the block its on due to the parking garage underneath. If I remember correctly, someone mentioned that the parking garage could support up to a 20 story building on top of it...which wouldn't be enough if they are still sticking to their original proposal.

Sean has the Inside Scoop
If you all recall a few days back, prior to the birth of the Cityscape thread, Sean (aka compusean) mentioned that he had some exciting news regarding an infamous downtown eyesore. (Its on page 64/65'ish of the Phx Devel thread). He said he was sworn to secrecy, awaiting the official announcment, which I believe is now less than two weeks away. I thought it was pretty obvious that its about Patriots Square Park. He said we would like it so let's be patient and see what happens... :whisper:
|
WOW! That's a very nice multi project indeed, if Phoenix gets this off the ground that would really help out the skyline, and add some impressive density. Good news 4 Phoenix, I'll pray to the skyscraper God's 4 U guy's that these Towers become a reality...:D
|
The bitter taste in my mouth about CityScape is going away. One of the SPP coorganizers formulated some questions about CityScape which are answered by John Chan, Downtown Development Office director
