Tempe YIMBY

So this is interesting:

https://tempeyimby.wordpress.com/

I've been waiting for a local "Yes In My Backyard" (YIMBY) group to start, and Tempe appears to be the place. I'm not sure who's behind this, although on the "join" link there's a notice saying the form was created at ASU.

I checked in on the militantly anti-development Maple-Ash-Farmer-Wilson Facebook group to see their reaction, but the members appear to be too busy debating recent police controversies to have noticed.

Maybe Discussed, but I just saw an add on PHX business journals and it looks like the 100 Mill project has dropped the hotel its just advertising an office building with the restored Monti's house and some surface space left open for future development.

Yes, I believe they were also considering residential if not a different hotel and/or a combination of those two uses for the surface lot fronting Mill.

Hey, that's us! We're still in the early phases of organizing. Right now we're a small group of ASU students who are passionate about urban issues in Tempe. We're hoping to start getting more people involved and will probably be having some meetups/events soon.

So far the Maple-Ash-Farmer-Wilson Facebook group hasn't heard of us but we are growing our social media presence and will be showing up to city meetings. Having the NIMBYs over there notice us would be a big milestone for us.

Anyways, if you or anyone you know is interested in getting involved you can go to the "Join" section on our webpage or shoot us an email at TempeYIMBY@gmail.com. Also feel free to follow us on Twitter (@YIMBYTempe) or like our FB page .

They are framing up the space last time I saw and doing drywall inside. Looks like its on pace for that timeframe. But I'd like to add that if any of you get the chance to tour the Local I gotta say its probably one of the most creatively designed apartment complexes in all of AZ. Worth the tour!

Thanks. I've signed up for your mailing list. I used to work in Tempe; now, I'm cheering you on from Phoenix.

^ What are we all looking at there, and where was this taken from? I've been struggling to keep up with everything in Tempe. I don't remember an enormous garage going up there.

This is the residential tower that's going up on the corner of 7th and Myrtle. The hole next to it is the for the hotel tower.

Same angle further back, This used to be the internet Cafe' and some old abandoned and (not abandoned ) Motels and stuff. This is the site of the Westin Tempe. The massive garage is the collective apts, the building in the right back is Marbella and the one in the back is the Canopy hotel.

New Watermark Retail Tenant Signed
A first-to-market restaurant concept is the latest tenant to sign a lease at the Watermark Tempe, a $150 million mixed-use development being built on the north side of Tempe Town Lake.

The first Arizona location of Irvine, California-based Panini Kabob Grill will be part of the Watermark Tempe’s first phase. The fast-casual restaurant boasts fresh ingredients, Mediterranean menu items and an upscale feel.

Panini Kabob Grill, which has 17 locations across Southern California, is in growth mode with plans to open about 16 stores in the future, including the Tempe restaurant.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Brent Mallonee represented the Watermark developer, Fenix Development, in signing Panini Kabob Grill to the project.

The other retailers that Panini Kabob Grill will open alongside include Obon + Sushi + Ramen, V’s Babershop and Dip Nail Bar, which all signed leases last year.

The Watermark’s Phase I is expected to be finished in September and will include 265,000 square feet of Class A office space, 44,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space and 360 luxury apartments. The center will also feature a splash pad that will connect to the boardwalk and Tempe Town Lake.

So far, WeWork is the only office tenant to finalize a lease at Watermark.

Future phases of Watermark will include an additional 340,000 square feet of Class A office space, 20,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and a 250-room hotel.

Hoping the 2nd phase gets proposed soon.

This is great for Mesa/Tempe, but I have to wonder if Phoenix is doing enough to recruit speculative office space to Downtown. I get the appeal of class A office space on Tempe Town Lake, but DTPHX should not be losing out to Mesa.
