Would be great to see the sale of the Sheraton finally and proposal for a new Suns arena with additional development. Been awfully quiet on that front lately.

I think we are over the precipice and heading right into some major growth, the last year for the entire metro has been fantastic, I don't think a week goes by that there isn't some announcement of new employment coming to the valley and the development has been wide spread diverse: tech, Health, multi-family, single family, Financial services, Logistics and Warehousing, Hotels and entertainment, education especially higher education, manufacturing. Even retail at a time that retail is declining.
And It's not just Phoenix, Tucson is growing, Yuma is growing, Casa Grande, Prescott, etc. The Recession has resulted in a much more robust economy for our state.
Anyway, Took a detour through Downtown today before work and saw some interesting things.
1. Hampton in is on the 4th floor
2. The blocks on 5th have started moving
3. Broad stone is stuccoed
4. The lot at NWC of 5th street and Roosevelt was fenced and there was a tractor moving dirt. Anyone know what's going on? wasn't there talk of a small retail/office building going there a while back?
5. Trans western development on third north of the park looks like its about to start demo, there is a coming soon sign out-front and its fenced off.
6. Dirt is moving at the midrise apartment block off central between CVS and the Library
7. The Remodel office building off central and and Palm is moving along quickly.
8. Muse being done makes the entire corner of McDowell and Central much much nicer.
9. The senior center off Indian School and 7th street is topped out and a large apartment complex is starting to go vertical
10. Macayo's (the apartments) are starting to go vertical
11. A bunch of little projects and remodels on going around some of the central neighborhoods.
couple of other things, is the "grow house" new or am I just oblivious? There is a dumpster out in front of the old house across from Enhance, is that being redone? The shipping container project looks like offices not apartments and I think its kind of meh
Also can someone explain what the hell is going on along central at the Viaducts? Why has it been under construction for like a year?
