Alliance's project on 3rd and Roosevelt is dead last I checked.

Their Broadstone Arts District project was actually shepherded through the community who wanted that sort of plaza/outdoor space, of which there isn't much of in that area.

What purpose would the Arts District project serve if it were "urban?" That part of McDowell is not an urban street. The parcels are far too large for any sort of small-scale cohesive development, there's no street parking nor many street lights, the sidewalks are too narrow, it's not much of a destination even with the art museum next door because there's nothing that connects the two, and it doesn't have lots of people living near it.

And even with that plaza space, it's incredibly dense.
