This thread has fallen quiet. I don't like that. So I went out today and walked around for 2 hours in the heat to get some photos of the current developments. I did this for you guys. One love.
I'm not sure what is going on here on the corner of 1st st and Portland, right by Enhance Park.
The Block at Roosevelt project. I'm excited to see this completed and return life to 5th St.
I honestly have no idea what this project is. In the past, I've seen renderings of several projects for this lot, not sure which one it'd be if any. Anyone have information on this? NEC 5th st and Roosevelt.
The monolithic project that seems to forever be under construction. 3rd and Roosevelt
Wurth House
The former Roosevelt Tavern looking fantastic as the opening date for the Monocle nears.
The former Downtown Deli looking closer to incorporating itself on one of the most vibrant corners of downtown nightlife. I believe the plan is to have a tavern ala Seamus sort of feeling
Despite the bittersweet design of the new Marriott, I love this view. The high density entrance emerging from the Central Ave "tunnel" into downtown. Looking forward to the Barrister project commencing.
The Central Park East hotel rising. Sitting at the 5th floor.
The Stewart has constant stream of concrete trucks and heavy machinery working away. Looking forward to its skyward ascent.
The wall on Central which was the subject of recent debate.
I forgot to capture an image of Block 23 from the top of the escalator in Cityscape.
Other updates:
The Az Center is a mess of gutted retail spaces and busy restaurants. It's kind of weird seeing people milling around the mall with all the construction going on.
Union at US Bank tower is a project that sort of fell off the face of the Earth in the last 6 months. Walked by and peeked in the windows, looks to be a ton of equipment and half-finished counter-tops. A few pictures are in the windows of what we can expect.
Portland on the Park is over 75% sold.
The Clinton Campbell house (357 N 4th Ave), one of 50 remaining structures from the 19th century in Phoenix has been approved for demolition. An appeal has been filed by the Preserve Phoenix group to save the structure from becoming another vacant lot. June 19th, save the date, at City hall for all interested parties to voice why the house shouldn't become another regret in our city's limited understanding of preservation.
