North Central News
Developers are getting new life out of aging office buildings in the area, renovating and redesigning them to create modern, luxury apartments, hotel rooms and innovative workspaces. They say the transformed buildings will meet the needs and desires of people in North Central Phoenix and tourists, who like walking to restaurants and stores and taking the light rail to entertainment venues and jobs.
One such project is at 400 and 444 W. Camelback Road. The development is a partnership among Vintage Partners, a multi-disciplined real estate development company; Venue Projects, a Phoenix redevelopment practice that focuses on adaptive reuse projects; and ARRIVE Hotels, a national hotel chain. Two buildings on the site that had been used for offices are being turned into the main part of ARRIVE Phoenix, a new ARRIVE Hotels location. Three additional, one-story buildings are being constructed between the two mid-century towers and will house a popsicle stand, pool, a pool bar/restaurant and Cartel Coffee shop.
