Very cool project, and I really like the mixed-use designation; I have to say, it's great to have so much construction going on in the Valley, but I feel there isn't as much 'street activation'-- for example, think of LA. When just about any apartment complex is built, retail and office space are almost always included to encourage further development in the immediate area, part of why LA is so walkable. In PHX, however, many apartment complexes are just that, residential, and command residents to other areas (regardless of how near or far) just to get their necessities. Just my two cents, but this project is a step in the right direction.

Sounds like a great project. I'm happy to see it's on the west side of Camelback and on the light rail line.

Speaking of which, are there any statistics on light rail ridership and whether the residential boom downtown has increased ridership?
