Yep, it is a disappointing situation that Centerpoint is in right now. I do believe however, that once it comes out of bankruptcy, someone will 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 it up at a bargain basement price and complete it.

I think what they should do is complete one tower as apartments/rentals, and then convert the first few floors of the second tower into a hotel, and then go ahead and finish the top part off as condos. Anyway, that is my two cents for what it is worth.

Good job on the pics! If this is your first I can't wait to see more threads by you. Tempe looks quite liveable from a sunbelt-state point of view. I've heard it's one of the most urban and dense places in the entire metro area.
BTW, that's one huge mill you got there.

That opening pix blew me out of my seat as I love cantelevered buildings, if they're done right and this one is perfection incarnate! It's sad, looking at this building, knowing they'll probably never build a building like this again, too expensive to build, but let's be grateful it was built when it was built, I'm figuring the 70's or 60's!

IMO, it stands as a work of art!

Great job, thanks! I used to live in PHX, and only one time did I drive to downtown Tempe, in 1992, and it's nice to see Tempe become more urbanized.

I believe Tempe city hall was built in the early to mid 1980s if my memory serves me right. 1983 sticks in my mind. I'm not sure though so don't quote me please, and at the moment, I'm too lazy to go look up the exact date.

I too like the architecture and think the building is beautiful.

Thanks for the compliment.
