Phoenix | Central Station Towers 1 & 2 | 372 FT | 32 Floors & 230 FT | 22 Floors

It also looks like they changed the groundbreaking to 1Q2022 and not 4Q2021.

It appears there is some activity with this project. Hopefully we get a new rendering soon.

There is also a Business Journal article but I don’t have access to those articles. It mentions something about permits but I am not sure.

Sounds like preconstruction activities will commence in Q1 2022. The article reiterates that the hotel portion is still cut from the project (stupid) and mentions the delays due to COVID. Nothing mentioned on height.

Here is a Chrome extension that allows non-subscribers to read Phoenix Business Journal articles. It was created a few years ago by one of our members, but not sure if they're still active here on the site. At any rate it works great for seeing the articles:

To access BZJ articles, you just need to hit the ESC key while the article is loading. Sometimes it takes a few tries to time it right, especially if the page loads to fast.

I think McKinley is right around the corner. A couple more infrastructure permits submitted this week.

Remind me again is this a two phased project or are both towers being built simultaneously?

Simultaneously. So there will be at least 2 tower cranes up.

Covid ----> supply chain issues + Beurocratic process is even slower and worse than before + Labor costs ------> Costs skyrocketing for projects and materials -----> Financing and insurance costs skyrocketing and delayed.

Literally all of this is a reinforcing upward inflation spiral that has a huge impact on construction, especially high profile high rise construction being built over an active Bus and light rail station.

Well April is only 2 months away at the earliest so not to bad, assuming later isn’t 2023…

"officially underway" not sure if that means they pulled permits or are beginning demo now??
