CityScape

We watch the construction every day as we pass by on the light rail. It is taking shape right before our eyes...

Three blocks at 2nd Street, Jefferson, Washington, and 1st Avenue

• Downtown Phoenix Financial District
• 3 lineal blocks (2 blocks under construction, 1 block on hold)
• At $900 million this is the largest private investment project in the history of Downtown Phoenix
• The western and center portion of CityScape is under construction. The western section will include three structures. On the north side, facing Washington, will be a restaurant/retail building. There will be open space with the capacity to entertain 10,000 public guests when Central is closed for events. A pedestrian skywalk fourteen feet above Central will link the western and center sections. The center portion of CityScape will consist of two large towers. The northern tower, One East Washington Office Tower, will provide nearly 600,000 sf of gross office space resting atop roughly 100,000 sf of retail space. The southern tower will host the Palomar Hotel, a Kimpton boutique hotel with approximately 250 beds. This tower also will have 100-150 condo units but this phase has been put on hold temporarily.

CityScape tenants include Oakvile Grocery Co, CVS/Pharmacy, and Lucky Strike Bowling.  Scheduled to open restaurants areAaron May, chef behind Sol y Sombra and Over Easy, restaurateur Sam Fox, who opened Olive & Ivy, and Bob Lynn, owner of La Grande Orange.

The eastern block of CityScape is owned by Barron Collier Companies and plans have been put on hold.

• Status:  First tenants move in April 2010.
