Chicago real estate developer Bill Smith died earlier this summer. He was 65 and died from a heart attack in Illinois.
Prior to his death, Smith was taking the lead in a proposed $72 million, 34-story apartment tower on top of the Central Station transit station in downtown Phoenix.
Smith’s Smithfield Properties was picked by the city of Phoenix to develop the tower at the downtown light rail and bus station at Van Buren Street and Central Avenue.
