Two new developments have surfaced regarding the proposed high rise condominium project encompassing Monti's La Cas Vieja restaurant. The project has been controversial from the get go with historical societies up in arms over a development at the site of Tempe's oldest standing structure. The whole concept had to be revamped just to preserve the adobe house built in 1871 by Charles Hayden. Now the East Valley tribune is reporting that US Airways, who owns the adjacent land to the project has filed a legal protest over the proposed height of the towers. Developer Tony Wall of Scottsdale based W Companies now must win a city counsil vote buy no less than 6 to 7. That's the bad news. Good news is the project did get FAA approval for current design. The two towers would reach 300 and 325 feet in height and add to the rapidly growing Tempe skyline. Many of us locals remember all the trouble the FAA gave the Cardinal's football organization on it's one time proposed Temep stadium. Getting a thumbs up from FAA on this project has to be considered a major victory. Tempe city counsil vote is scheduled for tonight at 7:30 pm. We at WeKnowUrban will be watching this project closely as it promises to be an exciting addition to the growing Mill Ave District.
