Phoenix City Council could sign off March 1 on a six-building, 417-unit apartment complex on 50th Street between Ray Road and Chandler Boulevard after the project sailed through the city Planning Commission last week with virtually no discussion.
The commission unanimously recommended that Council follow the Ahwatukee Foothills Village Planning Commission’s recommendation for approval of a “highly amenitized” project by Everest Holdings and P.B. Bell at 15210 S. 50th St.
The developers plan to build four three-story and two four-story buildings with mostly one- and two-bedroom units near Thistle Landing Drive on 14 acres where a two-story under-used office complex now stands.
Because there was no speaker during the Planning Commission’s Feb. 2 meeting either on behalf or against the complex, City Planning and Development spokeswoman Angie Holdsworth said, “It will go to council on March 1 unless there is an appeal.”
