Last month we gave you a snapshot of the aggressive pace of overall growth and development in once-sleepy Avondale (AZBEX, Jan. 14).
This week provided our Research team with an interesting anomaly: Three multifamily cases totaling 1,092 units were scheduled to come before the Avondale Planning Commission in one meeting. You may be asking: “What’s the big deal about that? Lots of cities have multiple multifamily submissions in a given session.”
Three cases. Totaling 1,092 units. In a city that currently has 12 other multifamily projects totaling 2,542 units in the Design or Design/Plan Review stage, according to a February 16th review of DATABEX information. When the cases under review in one meeting begin to approach half the total units in the design stages for a city, we count that as noteworthy.
