Another article about Tempe development...

I was in DT Tempe today and noticed Centerpoint is cruising along. I believe that it was up to the 9th floor already on one tower and they were going to 3 on the other. I'll try to get some pics this weekend for an update.

More Tempe stuff. They need to slow down with the developments... We don't even have time to discuss them!

I found this chart as a PDF on the City of Tempe's website. I think it's intended to work as a supplement to the development map that has been posted previously. Hadn't seen this chart posted, though, so I thought I'd throw it up here. I don't know if there is a meaning to the light blue vs. dark blue bars or if they just changed the color to break up the chart. Anyway, I found it interesting...

Thanks for posting 480. City of Tempe does a great job keeping up the information on all of the projects going on. One thing that's a little disappointing to me is that Onyx is still only in the conceptual stage in this updated chart. I thought it was further along than that. Oh well, we'll see.

Why do some of the projects have bars that just end and others have bars that are outlined out to a certain point and then only filled in to the current level of completion?
|
^ I wondered the same thing. There was no key to what the different lines mean. My guess is that it's the city's (or the developer's) projection of when it will be occupied (they all seem to end in the Occ 200X columns). Maybe they just don't have a good estimate on some?

Tempe updates:
Went on a serial 'shooting' spree this past Thursday. Here are some images of Centerpoint Condos, Hayden Ferry Lakeside, the Light Rail Bridge, and the Tempe Arts Center. I've included some rough panos. First, Centerpoint. You can clearly see that they are now past the podium levels, and have started the floors for tower 1. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...terpoint5a.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...nterpoint3.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...nterpoint4.jpg Here is a better view of tower 2: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...terpoint1a.jpg damn image host won't retain my pano's original size... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...pointpano3.jpg Anyway, on to Hayden Ferry Lakeside: The MASSIVE garage facing Rio Salado drive. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...9lakeside9.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...0lakeside8.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...0lakeside7.jpg Nice water feature. Can't wait to see it turned on. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...1lakeside6.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...3lakeside5.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...7lakeside3.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...lakeside3a.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...6lakeside4.jpg This pavillion by tower 2 is like the Shetland Pony of Dulles International Airport terminals...:jester: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...9lakeside2.jpg http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/dulles/Dulles1.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...0lakeside1.jpg Meanwhile the Bridgeview building is moving right along... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...idebldgpan.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...sidepano2a.jpg A shot of Mondrian from the south river bank. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...68mondrian.jpg And a parting shot, from the park http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...romthepark.jpg A few shots of the Light Rail Bridge: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...railbridge.jpg A shot of the bridge landing, with the embedded artwork. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...486bridge1.jpg And a close-up of the artwork. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...idgedetail.jpg The bridge, with the rails being laid as we speak... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...layingrail.jpg Anybody know what this building is? It kind-of looks like a headhouse. It's definately part of the project, it's dressed up in the same brick material as the bridge. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...gewithbldg.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...dgclose-up.jpg Finally, Tempe Arts Center. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...rtscenter1.jpg I've been harboring a theory regarding the odd shape of the Tempe Arts Center since last fall, when the roof finally started to take shape. I didn't get around to taking some pictures until now. To me, it looks like the design for this place is incredibly close (in both the profile, and in the way the light strikes it) to Tempe Butte! http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...thtempebut.jpg What do you think? Is it a match? |
Great pics, Vertex. Thanks for posting them.

Vertex- You're the man!
Thanks so much for the update- I think the Tempe Center for the Arts was meant to match A Mountain- (Tempe Butte) I always kinda thought that. Maybe I'll email the architect and ask- Things seem to be shaping up nice in good ol Tempe- I still worry that there is not enough high paying jobs to support all the high rises- but maybe I'm wrong. Basically ASU/ Mill Ave and the Hayden Ferry area rock- and all the rest of Tempe is pretty much Mesa. With all the added people to that core it will be interesting to see how Mill Ave Transforms. The Hayden Mill redevelopment is one of my personal favorites... mainly because the proposal is so rich in character and cannot be duplicated... I saw a billboard for Mosaic on Hayden and McKellips the other day... kinda cool... |
Vertex...nice photo update! Thanks very much. :tup: The pics with the mountains on the horizon show what a beautiful, clear day it was. Next time I'm in Phoenix, I've got to get over to check out Tempe. Great job!
|
Vertex...very nice job, especially the panos. Tempe is rising fast above the ground, and I am very proud of the city that I work for. It is very exciting to see so many projects come online. In about a year or so, we will have a brand-new skyline. I am stoked! Anyways, great photos!

Great photos, Vertex. Thanks for the construction update!

Everyone, thanks for the comments.
There's still plenty of projects in Tempe that I didn't get to, especially when you look at the chart posted by ForAteOh. I didn't have time to check out any of the condos/brownstones being built south of Rio Salado and west of Ash (in the Riverside/Sunset area), and I didn't get anywhere east of Mill Ave. loftlovr, I'm skeptical about KML Mosaic; they've been talking for over two years now, but all they have to show for it is an empty lot, a name change, and a groundbreaking ceremony that keeps getting pushed back. BTW, I talked to a couple of people at the Whole Foods at Rural and Baseline about when they anticipate relocating to the 'new' store, and they just roll their eyes. One even said "not in my lifetime..." Azndragon, do you know anything more about it? http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...8kmlmosaic.jpg |
I can add a few to the mix-
Here is the view from Northshore/ Grigio lakeside: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7...Pics6/TTL1.jpg This is the site of a future project- Former Club Rio site... http://www.azcentral.com/12news/news...15ClubRio.html http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepu...namwest13.html http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7...ics6/rio-1.jpg Northshore construction: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7...orthshore3.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7...orthshore1.jpg And Grigio getting close to completion: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7...s6/grigio3.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7...s6/Grigio2.jpg |
It's called 'Grigio' now? I thought it was still 'Mondrian'. Oh well, nice pics.

If only Phoenix could take a look at Tempe's example. tempe has a lot of damn projects goin up!:tup:

Vertex, nice pics! In one of them you mentioned the "Bridgeview" building underconstruction. Is that the building in Hayden Ferry Lakeside that is going to be right on Rio Salado/Mill that will have some sort of "Spectacular" element to it to celebrate ringing in the new year for the block party (like the ball drop)?
