Rio Nuevo meeting today discussed a few things. They tabled talk about the Bautista which is currently under construction.
Fletcher briefly mentioned what we already know about 75 E Broadway which apparently is now 55 Scott. He says development has been awarded to Obie companies which develops and operates hotels out of Oregon. He says they will be providing renderings and an economic benefits analysis to the board. BUT I know someone linked the proposal already but hopefully they change the renderings? This project has a history of changing it's renderings so hoping it becomes something different and that we all like
-Arizona Daily Star already reported Miss Saigon moving into the former restaurant MiAn Sushi at the TEP buidling. Not sure of timeline of when this will be completed. They are currently downtown and are just moving to a bigger space.
-Former Crescent Smoke shop on SE corner 6th Ave and Congress is looking to ink a new tenant but no reveal yet.
-Country Home Block will be branded as Sunshine Village. The owner of the block is the owner of Prep & Pastry/Flora's Market. They said the property will be a "Social House" which means providing meeting and party space for events. The social house will include a private 6 lane bowling alley and brewery. Also, they envision a bakery with pies.
-Fox theater Block (Not the actual theater): This is the NE corner of Congress /Church. The owner has already painted the corner building and bought planter boxes. I think they also were turning the 2nd floors into lofts. They have already inked a 10 year lease of a walk-up Roadrunner's coffee into one of the empty spaces next to JA Ramen and Perche No.
