Phoenix set to approve $900 million project
Sunday, October 1st, 2006PHOENIX Downtown Phoenix is set to get more hotel rooms, office space, condos and a grocery store.
That’s if the Phoenix City Council approves a 900 (m) million dollar project on Wednesday.
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says the project _ known as CityScape _ would be a turning point in making downtown Phoenix a sustainable, 24-7 environment.
Scottsdale-based RED Development thought of CityScape.
Their plans call for the project to sprawl across three city blocks, just south of Washington Street, and include Patriots Square Park.
250,000 square feet would be set aside for dining, shopping and other entertainment. Among the possible occupants of that space _ P-F Chang’s China Bistro and A-J’s Fine Foods.
Construction could begin in the spring and the project could be finished in 2009 if the council gives it the okay.
