Summit at Copper Square

[BA744PHX]

There probably needs to be at least 10+ projects like the Summit in DT before we start seeing some real vitality. Which it looks like it may happen in the coming years

Hopefull this building is different.

I think the location of The Summit is key to my opinion that it will help add vitality to the area. Its on the end of the entertainment district that has some fun now and will hopefully undergo some massive development in the near future

It is right between two world-class sports venues and will have a light rail station just down the street. Oh yeh, if they manage to get the W hotel built at the proposed site, that will bring in a lot of highly paid atheletes with their entourages to throw some money and some energy around the district. Its a critical mass thing for this particular location. I think its going to at least create a pocket of urban vitality until the rest of downtown can catch up.

We have just completed the framing on the interior of the 5th floor. This is the first residential floor. We started sheathing on the exterior so now the look will start to take shape. I will try and post some pictures of the interior at the framing stage later.

Cool to have someone on here who actually works on/for the Summit at Copper Square.

Do you happen to know what floor the elevator core is up to? I think I counted up to #19 from the highway but it's kind of hard to tell.

Aw yeah!
Thanks!!

I think that you are right with the 19th flore for the core. I am not envolved with the steel and concrete part. I am the project Manager for the company that is doing the interior/exterior framing, sheetrock, and int/ext painting for Summit. If anyone wants to see a shot of anything in particular, let me know. I am on the jobsite everyday.

Any pictures of the framing/construction process would be cool, and how about some pictures of the city and the warehouse district from up inside the building?

This has been posted before but I think it wasn't functioning for a while...

It's cool to see a webcam of this and the work going on in real time, unlike Monroe 44 which just does updates randomly throughout the day.

You know your stuff.

Does anyone know official prices on any of the Summit units? I assume you can't touch anything in the building for less than 350K, right?

Just an update I noticed this weekend while driving along the Maricopa freeway (I-17 south of downtown) that it appears the elevator core is now taller than Chase Field. Since SCS will be 253' and Chase Field is 235', the elevator core may only be a floor away from topping out.

I was downtown today and SCS is looking great! I noticed a lot of the warehouses down there are for sale/lease, obviously in hopes of making them a part of the warehouse entertainment district. Has anyone heard any figures on what some of those spaces are selling for? I'd be interested to know what empty warehouses that have gone unused for a long time are worth.

Here is some stuff off of MLS for the Copper Square area. There actually isn't much listed on Jackson/Madison/Buchanan.

This is very nice, and very expensive...it says its 26,892 sq ft, awesome size for a club!

Thats kind of surprising, I was down there today (eating at Karims deli on Jefferson), and I saw at least three warehouses with signs advertising their status as for sale.
