- 01/03/09 07:09 PM
With child-like excitement, Urban Realty & Development watched this week as the Metro Light Rail slid open it’s car doors to the public for the very first time. It was truly a momentous occasion for Arizona, but especially for Mesa, Downtown Phoenix, and Downtown Tempe. After all of the train dust settles, the rail fees take effect, and the grand opening events are over, we will see what the lasting effects of the light rail will have on our downtown. In the meantime, we thought we’d share some of our initial observations from the Downtown Tempe perspective.The first item of … (0 comments)

orchidhouse lofts: Centerpoint Condos May Be Close To Deal
- 08/20/08 11:27 AM
August 20, 2008 UPDATE: According to a report in the Phoenix Business Journal, the Centerpoint Condos development may be close to finishing a deal with a lender to fund the remaining $75M to complete the project. Not all too surprising, the money looks like it will be "funneled" through Mortgages Ltd after all. Just a little speculation on our part, but our guess is that the new money is coming from an investor or a group of investors who were involved in the original loan of $132M from Mortgages Ltd to the Centerpoint Condos and this will insure that the investors … (0 comments)

orchidhouse lofts: DOWNTOWN TEMPE CONVENIENCE STORE - ALLEY CONVERSIONS COMING SOON!
- 05/12/08 10:47 AM
May 12, 2008The City of Tempe consistently exhibits why their downtown is the best urban living location in the Valley of the Sun. By simply manipulating an alley way behind the downtown Post Office, they have created additional retail space which will soon become a boutique convenience store. The space, which up until recently was just the "back end" of the post office, will now be "re-used" into another great service business for downtown Tempe condo residents. Look for more "alley conversions" in downtown Tempe as land becomes more and more scarce and adaptive re-uses are a success. *BLOG UPDATED HERE* … (1 comments)

For those not aware of the "aloft" hotel concept, this blurb was taken directly from a Starwood press release, "Infused with the DNA of W Hotels, aloft is a new destination sensation featuring loft-inspired design, accessible technology and a stylish urban attitude. Starwood anticipates the first aloft hotels to open in 2008, with 500 properties worldwide expected by 2012."Planned for completion in April/May of 2009, we are sure this hotel lobby, lounge … (0 comments)

- 05/06/08 10:14 AM
May 6, 2008As a downtown Tempe resident, I can't help but be excited about the new CVS Pharmacy currently under construction at the corner of University & Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe. Every day I see the property I smile at the thought of walking to the corner for the little things that don't require a full blown trip to the grocery store. I smile because I know what a convenience it will be for me to walk just a couple short blocks down Mill Avenue for whatever my wife may need that particular day. I smile because downtown Tempe is … (0 comments)

orchidhouse lofts: Bridgeview at Hayden Ferry Lakeside - Update!
- 11/16/07 11:10 AM
I was fortunate enough to be invited on a construction tour of the new residential tower in Hayden Ferry Lakeside- The Bridgeview Condominiums. The building is magnificent and is really a nice "step up" from the first tower, the Edgewater Condominiums. As you will see by some of the pictures below, the hallways are wider, and more dramatic with lighted door monikers and artistic wood panels near the elevators. I was impressed and surprised to see how complete some of the interiors of the homes were. It appeared as though some of these homes were ready for move in now, but … (0 comments)

orchidhouse lofts: Mill Avenue La Casa Vieja Development Evolves
- 11/09/07 06:16 AM
This news just in! The Monti's La Casa Vieja site has been revised to move the two planned towers (25 story hotel & condos) "next to" instead of "on top of" the historic La Casa Vieja. This was a compromise reached between the developer and historic preservationists. By looking at the picture of the new development, it's easy to see how the historic structure will remain on the corner of Mill Avenue and Rio Salado Parkway while the towers will rise beside and behind it. This is just one of the many exciting new developments coming to downtown Tempe. Would you like … (0 comments)
orchidhouse lofts: New plans for 6th Street Park, next to the Lofts at Orchidhouse
- 10/25/07 09:11 AM
Last month, the city approved a new parking structure and Phase 2 of "6th Street Park" next to the Orchidhouse Lofts in downtown Tempe. The plans for the garage include first floor retail space, office space as well as a rooftop garden... obviously, not your typical parking structure! At the same time, Phase 2 of the "6th Street Park" will finally wrap the City Hall building on the East side of the property. This will complete most of the circular sidewalk that currently runs through "6th Street Park". There will be a water feature added as well. If all goes as … (0 comments)
