ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Construction is underway downtown to make way for another major, multi-million dollar project coming to the city’s Entertainment District.
Right now, crews are tearing up where Central, 1st and Copper meet to square off the intersection. This is in preparation for the new ‘Entertainment Hub’ building planned for the northeast corner of the intersection.
The ‘Entertainment Hub’ project just snagged a contractor.
“This is part of a much bigger downtown revitalization,” Mayor Richard J. Berry said.
As soon as the intersection re-do wraps up in the fall, ground will break on the building that will become the home of a bowling alley, restaurants, shops and apartments.
“This site…is an old parking lot that will turn into a public-private partnership with a 430 space parking garage that you and I will ultimately own as taxpayers,” Mayor Berry said.
