Yeah, I was going to say this. I'm not sure that ASU owns Brickyard, just like they don't own the land that Postinos is on. I believe ASU is a tenant at Brickyard (maybe I'm wrong on this? Ive had a difficult time determining this). My understanding is that the retail at the new academic building would be treated like the Vista or MU retail, which certainly can not sell alcohol.

The Brickyard and Postino's land are both owned by ASU. You can research this using the Maricopa County Assessor's Parcel Viewer. https://maps.mcassessor.maricopa.gov/

Good interview with the founder of Culdesac. I hadn't realized that they were a driving force behind the bike lanes going in along Smith. Good on them.

Do you have a link for those ISTB-9 plans? I think I saw a mention of that in the ASU 2025-2028 capital plan (which would have been published last fall) but my understanding was that the location of ISTB-9 would be on the SE corner of University and McAllister where there's currently an old maintenance building and an empty lot, so it would just be across the light rail from ISTB-7 aka the Walton building.

Looks like the new student housing will replace the Moxy Hotel and keep the Walgreens and surface lot as is.

Yeah, reading through the letter from the developer in the project packet, it sounds like they are not able to begin development on the CVS portion of the lot because CVS has a lease that prevents them from doing so. Maybe once that lease ends they will build more units on that land?
