Tempe is set to build its first apartment housing aimed at veterans and their families near Arizona State University.
The Tempe City Council unanimously approved a development agreement on Aug. 4 to build Valor on Eighth, a five-story building with 50 apartments. Five of the apartments are ground-floor live/work units. Under the agreement with Wisconsin-based Gorman & Company Inc., at least 51 percent of the apartments must be rented to low-income persons, with a preference given to veterans and their families.
