Omg, enough talk about parking. What is this Garfield House or whatever on 6th st and Garfield? Anyone have a rendering?

Construction on Kenect? Yes, it's nearly completed. Lots of interior work going on now I'd suspect.

Another piece keeping Kenect in the news:

10 leases so far seems low but given that they don't open until November, the heat, the pandemic, etc., it doesn't seem that concerning or surprising either. This did surprise me though:



Is that saying that I could, for instance, pay to have access to the rooftop pool? Depending on price that could be a pretty nice deal. I probably would be less of a fan though if I was living there.

Pleasantly surprised with the look of this one. I think it turned out better than the rendering. Still no gem, but it's fine.

And if that's the case, it'll be a pretty loud/high traffic residental building anyway... selling some 'amenity passes' won't be a big deal...



Now if Palomar started doing something like amenity passes... thats a whole different story.

In partnership with C3 (Creating Culinary Communities), a food and drink platform founded by Sam Nazarian, Kenect Phoenix (and all future Kenect properties) will serve as a ghost kitchen hub for restaurants like Umami Burger, Krispy Rice, Sam’s Crispy Chicken, and Plant Nation. Each participating restaurant will also have a street-facing cafe on the property.

Ghost kitchens are a new concept (c. 2020) and coming to Kennect. Does anyone know if these spaces engage the street, like can someone eat there, or will it be a dead space?

The wording "street facing cafe" makes me hopeful. It would be such a waste to operate a ghost kitchen relying on 100% takeout/delivery in a prime downtown space.
