Drove around tempe the other day and got some shots of the projects at fountainhead and along Rio.
Apologies for the cell phone driving pics.
The large 1 story at fountainhead. They tore up the entire parking lot and all the trees, if it was just a remodel why would they do that?
Residences, now fully plastered finally.
The new retail, nothing special. They have entrances of Broadway but there is no reason for that because nobody will ever enter off the street.
Comfort Inn going up a block north of Broadway on 51st generic infill I forgot this was even happening.
Once 51st turns into Rio you can see how Liberty completely fills out nearly all the space left along Rio, despite being suburban the buildings come very close to the street most of the parking is in a parking garage in the back.
They look pretty good.
Once you pass priest the drive along Rio is really starting to fill out, in a sort of Boulevard feel. It looks nice.
Once you Pass mill the new construction forms a wall, with that and A mountain you almost get an urban canyon feel.
AC Marriott
Despite being short Salt actually has a decent presence on the street.
And of course the behemoth Marina Heights. Ill be in the building starting Nov 2nd and ill take plenty of pictures for you guys,
I tried to get some shots of the Grand at Papago landscaping but they didn't really turn out.
