Later this summer the City of Phoenix is going to issue a request for development proposals for a vacant parcel on 17th Ave & Camelback Road. Zoned C-2 with a TOD1 overlay, the parcel is Walkable Urban Code-eligible. The selected developer has significant leeway to build something very urban and dense.
The parcel is less than 1/4mile from the nearest light rail station, and is close to a 23rd Avenue retail redevelopment by De Rito Partners, and just a bit further up the street is the ever-active Grand Canyon University. The property features great access and visibility, with plenty of capacity in the existing infrastructure.
