It's disappointing because it's two three story office buildings surrounded by surfacing parking...retention basin fronting McClintock and it looks like it has no plans to integrate into a "neighborhood" for the future development. The project is called Solterra at Akimel 7.

The freeway office sprawl is a given. Fortunately because non-tribal residents can't live on Native land it will never become yet another "neighborhood" or in any high demand. This is just the typical corridor schlock that will deteriorate before the next big thing like any other and then what. Options are constrained on Native land that gives us that and not much more, forever.
On the other hand, I wonder what kind of commercial dystopia could materialize if the SRPMIC's farms were built up into something like a blend the San Francisco Peninsula's 101 corridor, the sports districts like Westgate or Inglewood, the Cities of Vernon or Industry in Southern California or West Phoenix's industrial sprawl, and finally, that rotten piece of unincorporated land in north Tempe...
Probably in my lifetime but I hope not.
