A longtime vacant lot in downtown Phoenix is undergoing a transformation.
MetroWest Development broke ground on the property at 1st Avenue and Roosevelt Street on Monday, marking the start of a new building there.
“What a great day for the city of Phoenix to celebrate the answer to the question, ‘What the heck is going to happen with that crazy triangle piece at First and Roosevelt,'” Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said about seeing the vacant lot now being used.
