The land at the southwest corner of Mesa Drive and Center Street is currently a city-owned parking lot. According to early plans for the development, Habitat Metro would build a multistory parking garage topped by at least 75 apartments and 75 hotel rooms.

This appears to be a typo--Mesa Dr. and Center are parallel and .5 miles apart. Here is the proposal documents if anyone wants to look:

Here is an outline of the proposed site:
Really interesting proposal to stick the building in a back parking lot without any frontage on main streets. If it works, hopefully it spurs more similar developments. Downtown Mesa has an excess of parking, much of which is on city-owned surface lots behind the historic Main Street-facing retail buildings.

Such odd wording: "multistory parking garage topped by at least 75 apartments and 75 hotel rooms"
It makes it sound like the primary purpose of the project is parking with other uses being secondary. I hope it's the other way around.

Definitely strange wording. I'm hoping it's just reflecting that (1) the development is replacing parking and (2) the parking garage will have dedicated public parking spaces?
