The Coffee Shop going in at Colliers Center is called Dapper and Stout and will be going in next to the escalator @ Washingtion and 3rd St.

That's from Glendale. The ampersand is the millennial's call to arms.

The ampersand is actually GenX repellent.

Very disappointing Desert Viking would demo before getting permit.

So the 3501 N Central site submitted a followup pre-app a few days ago. Not sure why, but they did. The description of the project seems to be the same: A NEW MIXED USE OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH SITE WORK AND LANDSCAPING. It still seems to be a container type project that will be called The Howie.

Office and Residential containers on Central? Uh, OK

Yea, I don't think this is the right spot for a container style development. With all the higher density projects occurring nearby, this will most likely be a low density type of development in a smaller lot that would have been better suited for a residential/mixed use tower (there have been 2 renderings for towers on this lot). It's a shame this isn't the approach being taken.

I live in the old shipping container between the Punchcard building and the Upside down pyramid

In my case it would be, I live in the old shipping container between the punchcard building and the Upside down pyramid and I work in the punchcard building.

Actually, that might be an advantage for me!

^ I understand the concern about height, but there are 10 other surface lots to choose from if someone wanted to build tall - assuming the market on Central Ave. demanded it.

I remember hearing similar doubts about The Churchill and those have all seemed to vanish:

The Churchill is popular but I still dont like shipping container projects, I think they are tacky

I think a pile of shipping containers is going to age REALLY well over the next 15 years...

ASUSunDevil · #**13715** Posted **Jan 16, 2019, 4:11 AM**

Can guarantee it will age better than the tan/stucco Walgreens, Panera etc. that still front Central Ave.

This project + Park Central will be a destination for professionals during the week and 'Instagrammers' on weekends. This area was boring as hell a few years ago - I think it ends up being a pleasant surprise to some of you

Classical in Phoenix · #**13716** Posted **Jan 16, 2019, 3:45 PM**

Speaking of Park Central, the PHO hearing is today. 0

Im glad to see Sam Fox finally invest in Downtown but I wish he'd do something unique.

Fox opened Arrogant Butcher at CityScape in 2011.

Cambria cam is back up again. Looks like Cambria is going to have pretty good floor plate spacing. Should be kinda high for only 7 floors. Also, it looks like Link may be placing the facade on the garage? There is a small crane on top of the garage portion in the webcam, but can't tell by the angle. Anyone nearby to verify if they are finally cladding the garage?
