Two projects approved by the Tempe Development Review Board this week will, if built, add 943 apartments to the city’s housing stock.
Emerald Multifamily
For the larger of the two projects – Emerald Multifamily – Davis Development requested an amended planned area development overlay; a use permit for residential and a development plan review to create a new 591-unit, five-story multifamily community on 16.8 acres at the SWC of Priest and Commerce drives.
The site is currently zoned Regional Commercial Center and has a mixed-use land use designation. The current request deals with the northern section of the parcel, while the southern portion will remain commercial under the existing Emerald Center PAD.
