Phoenix Area Low- and Mid-Rise Development Thread

I thought the mall was supposed to be raised by mid 2024? Only issue I have with the renderings. It doesn’t allow room for the light rail to extend forward if there is ever an extension proposed……

Demolition was delayed for some reason or another and is supposed to start sometime in late fall. Light rail was never planned to extend past Metrocenter and I'm not really sure there would be good reason to. It's mostly single family homes from there on to the Glendale border. So, I don't see much push for rail in the area.

There have been on-again, off-again proposals to extend light rail to ASU West. The placement of the Metro Parkway station would require no structures immediately to the west if track were to be extended from there.

Must've been proposed before my time here. I've never read anything on extending beyond Metrocenter. I would be interested in seeing how a route to ASU West would have been routed. Would it have continued down Peoria and then up 43rd?

I have no idea. I doubt it ever got that specific.

It was part of the MovePHX plan, but these are always rosy estimates at best.
