Intercollegiate tennis association is moving to Tempe. I assume it's in the Stadium District.

Seems like a good get. Here is more info re: location from AZ Central.

By early summer, the ITA is expected to be operating in Arizona, initially in office space at University Center, on University Drive east of Rural Road. ASU plans to relocate and expand the Whiteman Tennis Center east of Rural close to Sun Devil Soccer Stadium, and that facility also could house the ITA.

I think the names in the article should have given it away pretty quickly, but some people don't always pay attention. Happy April Fool's Day!

This is great news! I wonder if they have more space available in HFL, or if they would be a candidate to make the jump to 100 Mill.

Reporting in from The Foundry neighborhood meeting.

Not an overly exciting proposal, but I think it is taller than the original rendering, and taller than the Chase garage. And maybe something like this has a better chance of getting by the neighborhood riff raff, who were there in full force asking about whether this development would be funded by offshore investors "exposed" by the Panama papers.

As far as more space at HFL that might be doable as Zenefits just got busted for writing insurance or something illegally and has radically cut back their work force and they have several floors at HFL so maybe that will all work out.

on 100 Mill not sure it is going to happen as it is now as one of the players is getting cold feet. That from a developer friend of mine who knows the players.

I think this is a good size for that corner It would be a bit dumb having a 20 story building there when it is has low rise neighborhoods across from it on two sides

Thanks for the info but what a bummer. This is still the project I'm pulling for the most. Any chance you got an impression from your friend how cold the player's feet are? Or if there is any hope?

People here will eat this news up:

The Student Book Center is closing and getting demolished so the land can be added to The Maxwell.

They are already holding a going out of business sale (they just announced their closure yesterday - the owners of the property opted to sell) and the most recent version of the The Maxwell proposal includes the SBC property:

https://www.tempe.gov/Home/ShowDocument?id=40112

The delay in discussion by the review commission is largely due to this property being incorporated into the plan:

"2/22/16: At the applicant’s request, the cases were pulled from the February 9, 2016 DRC agenda, and a fourth submittal was made that included the property on the immediate southwest corner of College and 7th Street."

The Student Book Center says they may open in the new building, but that would be years away (and honestly may not be consistent with the sort of uses that will be in The Maxwell).

The building plans themselves haven't changed much, but the land will be used to have more green space/buffer as the north tower of The Maxwell is further west than the south tower.

I don't subscribe, so no idea what it says... http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/b...new-tempe.html

I was hoping to read that 100 Mill might be their destination...

Damn subscriber paywall. Now I'm all curious. Hopefully another outlet picks up the story soon.

Could be 100 Mill, Farmer Arts 2, Grande at Papago, 3-story office building proposed for Fountainhead, or even the dumb new two-story business park building over east of Tempe Marketplace.

ASU Diablo · #**6496** Posted **Apr 11, 2016, 10:16 PM**

It's Papago

Won't break ground until 2018, but 20 stories and LEED certified makes it hard for me to complain.

Sounds like a pretty neat concept, and I'm in favor of anything that continues to bring housing to downtown Tempe. Seems like they have their ducks in a row, wonder why it will take until 2018.

Unclear from the rendering where it would be, but I kind of hope it wouldn't be right on the (assumedly SE) corner of University/Mill.

I agree. I hope it's not directly on the corner. That is a ton of land, no way this take up that whole lot. Put it next to the other school buildings to the East or to the South. Leave the prime corner for a mixed-use project that activates the corner.
