An Israeli real estate investment firm has sold a long-empty downtown Phoenix parcel to homebuilder Lennar Corp. for $12.75 million for a planned a 368-unit apartment complex at the property on the northwest corner of Central Avenue and McDowell Road.
The land was owned by Africa-Israel USA, an arm of Tel Aviv-based Africa Israel Investments Ltd, also known as AFI Group.
AFI had in 2007 talked about building 34-story condo tower on the McDowell-Central parcel.
