Phoenix Area Low- and Mid-Rise Development Thread - Page 127

While I don't consider this as Metro Center (since it's across the highway and around a 1 mile walk), it would be good to see some multifamily residential pop-up along Dunlap. Hopefully, there will be more to come. I think the area has potential for some really good redevelopment.

On a side note, I was across I-17 just yesterday and the apartment complex about a block North of Dunlap on 29th Ave next to the Goodwill is coming along nicely. Hopefully, this helps to kick-start some density in the area. Along with the Metro Center redevelopment, this could really turn the area around.

Do you have a rendering of those of what they are suppose to look like when they are done?

CrestedSaguaro · #**2523** Posted **May 30, 2024, 6:00 PM**

Sure do...or at least a site with them

Was this one covered? I thought there was a similar project in the works closer to Roosevelt?

There's been several developments proposed for the former "cat house" lot, but I don't recall seeing this version. I kinda like these style of residential developments popping up around the core.

Had no clue this was still happening. It's got a bit of an update and is under construction right now.

That lot is probably one of the worst in phoenix for what they're proposing.

Linking this to the thread about South Central light rail, this project is a good example of development along the new route. It's going to be more intensive at first near the north end of the new extension and will be more gradual south of the Rio Salado.

They're cranking on this. It is 3/4 of the way Framed up. It will be an interesting addition to the Neighborhood.

If you have deep pockets hold it and rent it 15 years

Thanks for the update. I saw that when I was checking out the South Central LR construction last week and I forgot to look this up. FWIW, there are a few other projects in the works in the adjacent area. Looks like the South Central extension is already causing some development to happen.

They're marketing these things as luxury condos and they're building them out of wood? What?

Isn't that How everything is marketed now days???
They're not my cup of Tea, but its nice to see some development south of the tracks.

Well...it's luxury for that neighborhood

combusean · #**2535** Posted **Jun 12, 2024, 10:31 PM**

I just don't get why anyone would buy a wood condo unless it really were a small starter home.

Yea, neither do I.

I do currently rent a wood-framed condo. I have to say it's the noisiest place I have ever lived in. I can hear everything the neighbors say, every thump on the floor, every creak, every car driving buy, etc. Fortunately, it's still somewhat cheap, so I tolerate it.

But I would NEVER buy into a wood condo. On that note, I wonder how Edison phase 2 is selling?

I made that mistake with my starter home, which was a wood-framed condo. The first few years we had a noisy neighbor, and it was hell. By the time better people moved in, we were ready for a house and were fortunately able to sell the condo at a decent price.

Ancient Proverb say, "When buying wood framed condo at least buy on top floor to minimize noise and not have to endure people "tap dancing" on your head from above your ceiling or bowling or whatever the heck they do up there all night".

We we're at C&C recently to play mini-golf, great course by the way not sure why we don't go more often. The mall space is begging for development, the area can really use some gentrification. Would be really nice if the valley cities could focus on infill more than sprawling outward further.

I get all the drawbacks but there are so many "central" zones that have tons of opportunity to infill. This one, Fiesta Mall area, PV mall area (well on it's way IMO).

PHX31 · #**2540** Posted **Jun 19, 2024, 5:34 PM**

/\ I'm thankful Castles & Coasters is still alive and kicking. It really is a great arcade, miniature golf course, and fun place. I'm nostalgic for it as well going there a bunch as a kid and it's nearly exactly as it always has been. That's rare for anything in Phoenix. I also hope the mall area gets gentrified/redeveloped sooner rather than later and places like Castles & Coasters can keep on keeping on.
