/\cool. I'll go support that place simply because they are restoring some important parts of the building.

Tempe_Duck · #**3064** Posted **May 11, 2012, 9:58 PM**

That is great. I love craft beer and it sounds like they are restoring the building to is original glory, inside and out.

Also per MXSW

Quote:

Loco Patron Mexican Grill, which already has locations in Scottsdale and Ahwatukee, is adding another.

A third restaurant will open in the eight-story Tempe Gateway building on the northeast corner of Mill and Third Street in downtown Tempe.

The 5,000-square-foot space on the ground floor will be part sports bar, part patio bar.

Loco Patron won Best Pork Taco at last year’s Arizona Taco Festival. It’s also been honored for Best Margarita by Arizona Republic readers.

A fall opening is planned.

Noticed there were a few signs on Gateway too for I think a fitness center? Not completely sure.

According to multiple sources, the 17 story South Bank senior living apartments is actually still trying to get developed and was not "pulled from the list". In fact, if you go back to look at the minutes and agenda for that city meeting, it is no longer crossed out. The project is projected to start construction by the end of the year according to multiple sources. Average living cost to be $4300 a month...who the hell will rent that???

*****Additionally, Wolff Company (who sold the site to the joint venture & owns much of the Southbank land) plans to start construction on a multifamily/multistory, condo/apartment complex on South Bank. According to their website construction will start Q2 2013. Wonder if the ASU baseball stadium/possible street car alignment is boosting development along Rio Salado..?*****

This is dated March 8, 2012. I think a recent hearing had it crossed off the agenda.

The BREW site says it is full service, including meals, and probably medical staff. Remember, this is senior housing not general apartments.

Very cool. I wonder how long it will be before the rest of that property gets built up? Also- has anyone heard anything new about the vacant property just to the west of the Tempe Center for the Arts? I think at one point there were plans for an artist community or something like that...

Per Urban Realty Block 12 aka ASU Bookstore at 6th & College broke ground.

Spitfiredude · #**3072** Posted **May 16, 2012, 10:45 PM**

Whoa they got started fast.

email the pictures to yourself from your iphone.

This is about the entire site. Its actually very small. I would estimate maybe an acre in size (being generous). You can see the backhoe & excavator in the background digging for piping..I can't wait to see them put another crane up. That is three in DT Tempe area this year (WP Carey business school, The Hub, this hotel)

Jsmscaleros · #**3075** Posted **May 18, 2012, 9:07 PM**

Great to see urbanism spread off of just Mill Avenue... one street does not a downtown make

Can't wait to check it out when I come back to visit!

None of us can see the picture ... if you want to forward it to combusean@gmail.com (and anything else you might have henceforth) I can host them on my projects website.
