44th Street & Camelback gets approval from Planning Commission

The redevelopment of Camelback and 44th St. takes a major step forward: Camelback, 44th projects get first approval

The intersection of 44th and Camelback could get a new look soon, as the Phoenix Planning Commission approved projects on three of the corners.  The recommendations now go to the Phoenix City Council for final approval.

In a meeting that went late into the night, the commission:
• Unanimously approved a project on the southwest corner that wraps around the existing Londen Center. Commissioners and the public praised the company for working closely with neighbors.
• Approved with one dissent a retail and condo building on the southeast corner, with preservation of the Chase Bank building. Public opponents said the project would put up a wall between their neighborhoods and the intersection, agreeing with Commissioner Tom Awai.
• Approved on a 5-3 vote a large mixed-use project on the northwest corner. The project remains as planned except that proposed heights of 98 feet in the center were reduced to 70 feet to conform with the Londen building across the street.

Phoenix Planning Commission to consider revised plan for SE Corner of 44th & Camelback

On October 10th, the Phoenix Planning Commission will consider the revised plan for the SE corner of 44th & Camelback. The applicant has altered its proposal from its original which included the demolition of the existing Chase Bank. The new proposal includes an Historic Preservation overlay of the bank building. Such an overlay would recognize the building as a historic structure and if, at anytime in the future, plans for removal of the bank come into play, the issuance of a demolition permit would be delayed for one year.
