R11 loft townhomes now available in Garfield Historic near ASU
R11, the new urban loft townhomes located just east of 7th St on Roosevelt St., are getting the final touches and are now ready for move-in. Block construction, expansive windows, concrete floors and exposed surfaces help to define its modern appeal within this fast changing historic neighborhood. Offering great value including solid long-term investment potential with prices starting in the $250’s, R11 is within walking distance from ASU Downtown, the Biotech campus and the emerging Roosevelt Row area.

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.

The time to grab the remaining units at Summit at Copper Square is now!
With the economy slowing down, some of those neat high-rises on the drawing boards may stay right in place until the future looks a little more stable. The Phoenix urban core is lucky not to have overbuilt in this last boom so prices should stabilize a lot faster (this is a case of “being slow out of the gate” working to Phoenix’s advantage). But if your looking to get in on Phoenix’s emerging high-rise living you have little to choose from downtown and it won’t last long (this ain’t no Miami!). Summit at Copper Square is nearing completion and is expected to soon sell out. Surrounded by some of the most dynamic commercial land use in the Valley including the Financial District, Chase Field, US Airways Center, CityScape, the Convention Center, and the proposed Jackson Street Entertainment District and the emerging renaissance of the Warehouse District, Summit at Copper Square offers spectacular views, reasonable pricing, and strong upward market pressures. It’s still not too late to get in on a new landmark in downtown Phoenix. Contact Us now or call 602-595-4454 for more information of Summit at Copper Square.
Camelback and 44th redevelopment issues remain on burner
The redevelopment of Camelback and 44th St. for mixed-use including residential homes remains a hot topic but still hanging in limbo after last night’s meeting on the various proposals. Phoenix, the developers, and local residents have their say: Camelback Road projects on hold
Two projects along Camelback Road remain on hold as the Phoenix Planning Commission studies three redevelopment proposals at the road’s intersection with 44th Street.
The two proposals discussed Thursday evening were Opus West’s proposal for the southeast corner, where the well-known “mushroom” bank is located, and M3 Cos. plan for the northwest corner, where the Camel Square development currently sits.
Opus West sought a delay to work out new plans with neighborhood residents, who opposed the initial plans. Attorney Stephen Earl said the company would build in reduced heights and densities from the initial project, although neighborhood activist Paul Barnes said the company remains “a long way from anything the neighborhood would deem acceptable.”
The Camel Square proposal was delayed after close to three hours of discussion, pro and con, before a room crowded with residents of the area. Attorneys for the developer described the proposed project and argued it fits with the city’s desire to grow smarter, but opponents made the point that the plan violated several existing city plans calling for compatible development and maintenance of views of Camelback Mountain nearby.
The proposal includes three 100-foot tall buildings and will be largely residential, with condominiums, town homes and nine single-family lots. The developer said the parcel, at 17.4 acres, is the largest between the Biltmore area at 24th Street and the Phoenician Resort.
Planning Commission chairman Don Keuth said he expected a third redevelopment proposal, for the site of the London Center on the corner’s southwest quadrant, to be filed on Friday.
He proposed that the commission be proactive and look at all three quadrants together. He said the committee should “develop a reasonable solution.” Commissioner Wes Gullett will lead the effort.
Keuth emphasized the importance of the decision, saying the city expects many more similar proposals down the road. Attorney Grady Gammage, representing the developer, said the development “is a precursor to the future of Phoenix.”
26forty & 52thirty LEED lofts announced for Arcadia South area
As reported in the Phoenix Business Journal, Jerrott Willard, a former NFL player, and Moran Architects, are joining forces to develop two LEED-certified projects in the Arcadia South area. Former NFL player partners with architects for “green” lofts:
Two more urban “green” residential developments were announced Wednesday and one of the partners is Jerrott Willard, a former University of California Berkeley football player who spent one season in the NFL.
Willard is teaming with Scottsdale-based Moran Architects to build 26forty and 52thirty, two urban-style loft projects that will meet the criteria for LEED, the certification system devised by the U.S. Green Building Council to rate the energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Both projects are scheduled to break ground by the end of the year.
The 26forty project is located at 2640 N. 52nd St. The 16 lofts will range in size from 1,300 square feet to 1,700 square feet, and each will have private terrace views of Camelback Mountain.
The 52thirty project is located at 5230 E. Oak St. The 15 condos also will have views of Camelback Mountain and South Mountain. They will range in size from 1,500 square feet to 1,900 square feet and feature two master bedroom floorplans.
Solar panels will be available as an option. Reservations for the homes will be taken in November. Prices have yet to be announced.

Profile: Century Plaza
Originally a 15-story Phoenix office building in midtown Phoenix just south of Osborn on Central Avenue, Century Plaza will soon be home to 145 condominiums ranging from 734-1974 square feet (1, 2, & 3 bedroom units). With 85% sold, there are remaining units on almost every floor ranging in size from 734-1283 square feet.
Rather than read…just look at the photos I snapped Tuesday morning from the top floor units of Century Plaza. The fact that only a few cable wires stood between me and a very long drop to the street below, it was worth taking in the views that future residents will soon have.
