North Tempe was already the premier neighborhood so the river being filled just helped it along. The river down in phoenix is out of the way and has always been an industrial area. There aren’t even historic bones to build off and it isn’t even an old emote industrial area but an active and growing industrial area
So again I think it’s good as just a regional park kind of thing but we aren’t about to have a repeat of the Tempe waterfront. At least not anytime soon. Keep in mind even in Tempe it was almost a decade before serious lakefront development got started

This is a generous take. There's a chance it could be a complete flop. Heck we can't even hardly get the warehouse district to take off. And you think Broadway to University is where developers are going to invest?
