Driving in downtown Phoenix has improved since major construction on light rail has been completed and allowed for easy driving tours (which I do all the time). Amongst the high-rise and loft projects in downtown Phoenix, ASU has sprouted a very unique urban campus. Currently the School of Communication, Nursing and the administration and dormitory buildings are in full swing of construction and looking amazing. ASU has done a fantastic job of understanding what type of architecture would add to the look of the city. The buildings are also signs of urban growth. They bring a highly skilled labor force into downtown looking for housing and amenities. Check out www.phoenixurbanliving.com for housing opportunities in the downtown area. M.
