Definitely impressive. Noticed the apartment building is screened back. Hope that's not an omen that it's no longer part of the development.

Downtown Phoenix grocery store one step closer to reality
RED Development hosted a groundbreaking ceremony last week to celebrate the start of construction at Block 23, the mixed-use project in downtown Phoenix. The development will be home to the central core’s Fry’s Food Stores. Slated to finish in 2019, Block 23 will include approximately 330 apartments by StreetLights Residential, 200,000 square feet of creative office space, restaurant and retail uses along with above- and below-grade parking. |

Doesn't mean one wasn't inevitable. But, look at any big cities' grocery stores and you'll find blank walls or, in the better cities, small retailers that hide the sides. The renderings are great if Fry's plans on stocking their shelves in the center to leave vast views open from its windows. |
I shop only where the view is great!!!! LOL When someone shops, they are looking at the food not the scenery. That doesn't mean windows aren't nice, but it is very easy to achieve both windows and productive shelf space and other retail that doesn't block any view or natural light.

WOA! FAA Obstruction submitted for a 400ft tower crane! Did this development just get taller without us knowing?? That is a VERY tall crane for 19 floors of residential!

Looks like there were 2 tower crane obstruction evaluations submitted. Latitude coordinates are slightly different, so can these be 2 separate tower cranes at 400ft?
*Edit. Just browsed through the new FAA Evaluations and there are 4 separate tower crane evaluations all at 400ft. Safe to say, we won't see 4 cranes at 400 ft., so going to assume there will actually be only 1 tower crane until otherwise...

WOW....was hoping someone in the know would jump on this answer...... FAWD?????? LOL......... That would be quite a crane height, with hopefully a building height of increase from what we thought originally.

I wont be surprised by anything. hell even derby is probably going to get moving at this rate. |
So none with info on taller crane height? Guess we will have to wait for that answer.......
|
So does anyone know what is going on at Block23. I haven't really seen any activity here. Are they going to start blocking off the whole block? Or are they going to just start on the Frys first?
