Given the Council's obsession with converting the Warehouse District into a 9-5 business zone, could they possibly fit into the office project being proposed for the super cool storefronts along Central (at Jackson)? The former Brickchouse is also for lease, but with limited space obviously. It just seems lke all roads lead to 111 W Monroe, Luhrs, or the Warehouse District.
One cool option would be if they took the entire Personnel Building and assisted in a total restoration.
That, or a true office tower (with hotel added) at Block 23 woud be my preference. Too bad they couldn't anchor a tower with the "Phoenix State College - Quicken Loans School of Real Estate" on the other floors.
Hopefully, like these others, the original Central Station will fail and a 2nd round will produce something more in line with what should be built on that site. Comaring CPE's parcel with CS shows how deficient the proposal was. A retail concourse on the 1st two levels (pharamacy, grocery, fast-casual food), bus depot on the 3rd and 4th floors, Greyhound on the 5th and 6th, and two midrises for City/County use and a hotel or affordable housing works for me.
