The city of Phoenix has accepted a proposal for the redevelopment of the 2.6-acre Central Station transit depot at Central Ave. and Van Buren St..
The proposed facility features two skyscrapers – a 30-story tower and an 18-story tower.
The proposal, submitted by Electric Red Ventures L.L.C., is intended to be a multi-use facility. Electric Red Ventures is a subsidiary of Houston-based Medistar Healthcare Connections Corporation.
“It will include components for a hotel, for student housing, for residential units at market rate,” said Gretchen Wolfe, the city’s CEDD procurement manager. She added that the site will also have underground parking; a ground floor for retail, restaurant, and grocery use; and an office space.
