WOW! A significant project has broken ground in downtown Phoenix. CityScape, a development by RED Development and CDK Partners may well be the biggest newz to hit the downtown area in years... certainly in 2007.
Finally, a development with real teeth is coming to downtown. This is the sort of project that can have a positive influence and cornerstone the future of the area. Many have been waiting for such a flagship to light the way for the downtown many have dreamed about.
As an Urban planning kind of guys, the Urban Team has been waiting for such a development to move from the planning stages to reality. With anchors like Wachovia, Kemper Hotels, AJ's Fine Foods, PF Changs and more, the downtown area will finally have the basis for sustained growth and livability... things like a grocery store tend to help make urban living enjoyable.
If you have been in the doldrums about the future of the area, projects like CityScape and the Scottsdale Waterfront should get your adrenalin pumping and excite you about living in one of America's premier growth cities.
