Like the Stewart, this project now has a FB page. It's also been named Union Tempe Apartments. |

The FB page links to a leasing website: http://www.uniontempe.com/, which has a webcam: https://app.oxblue.com/open/EDR/tempe From the webcam, it looks like the north tower is topped out--I believe that one was always supposed to be 12 stories. Middle tower is at about 16 out of 20 stories. They are starting to build out the podium to the University frontage. From the renderings looks like the plan is to build out the podium in this phase, but not the initially proposed 16-story hotel. Hopefully the hotel can be built at some point--project would look lopsided without the third tower. |
Cladding is starting to appear.

Has the tall portion topped out?

I'm interested to see what's done with the front "third" fronting University now. They have columns on only about half of it. Unclear to me if they're going to build out the whole garage only? Or go ahead and build the third tower? |
I thought this was going to be student housing?
Looking at their website, that doesn't appear to be the case. |

So who knows. Maybe not solely student housing but amenable to students living there? |

Exterior continuing. Balconies are going up. I hope they find a developer for the hotel portion soon--I think it will look weird with that corner cut out of the block. But with Omni, Westin and Hayden all also in the works, it's hard to say whether anyone will be willing. If it does languish for a while, hopefully they have a plaza/park/grass area instead of surface parking.

Those balconies are sharp!
This is going to be one of my favorite buildings in Tempe once it's finished. BioDesign C under construction down the street is #1. Tempe is getting some seriously awesome new architecture. |

Jeez, this building is big.
For reference, the block there is 500 feet a side whereas Phoenix's are 300 feet a side. And there's room for more still... |

Should've read the article. 14 floors will be nicely rounding out the development.
|
I don't know how likely it would happen given the area's weird copper/faux wood fetish, but it would be great to see the hotel incorporate bricks like some of the other Canopy hotels do. Outside of some places on Mill, that kind of brick work (facade or otherwise) is sorely lacking given all the super modern buildings popping up and Downtown Tempe's relative age.

I think the cladding and windows are looking pretty good.
