The City of Mesa wishes to transform 27 acres of city-owned land at the SWC of University and Mesa drives into a “vibrant and cohesive urban mixed-use project” and is requesting a partner to help with that vision.
On May 6, the City of Mesa issued a Request for Qualifications for a developer to help redevelop the currently vacant Opportunity Zone site, also known as Transform 17.
The conceptual masterplan for Transform 17, as recommended by Mesa City Council on March 21, shows “a significant amount of residential; dining and retail including a grocery store; an innovative office quarter; public park amenities; and a comprehensive pedestrian path-way (or mobility loop) linking the site to downtown and light rail,” according to the RFQ.
