mill avenue district: Another Mill Avenue Milestone
- 03/28/11 04:38 PM
This morning, a “who’s who” of politicians, Chamber members, developers and business owners celebrated a ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly revised West 6th building in the Mill Avenue District. Mayor Hallman discussed the quality of the construction, the sustainability of the project, and conveyed some of the excitement that many people feel for the area. While some people had written off the project as a bust, it is becoming more and more clear that the new owners mean business and that they are very committed to the Mill Avenue District.
Once the ribbon cutting was completed, we were given … (2 comments)

mill avenue district: Centerpoint Tower Sale Haulted
- 11/06/10 02:57 AM
Houston, we have a problem… In the case of Tempe’s Centerpoint Towers, the problem apparently has to do with over $20 million in liens against a project that was recently sold for $30 million. It is being reported that the Centerpoint Tower deal has hit a snag and that there is little chance of making the current deal happen.
The Centerpoint Tower is a significant piece of the Tempe real estate market in the Mill Avenue District in that, when finished, it will bring a lot of new people to the area. For officials at the city of Tempe, I … (0 comments)

mill avenue district: Mill Avenue District Undergoing Many Changes
- 10/21/10 11:28 PM
The Mill Avenue District is undergoing many changes right before our eyes. In a “bad economy” we see new businesses opening and we see renewed interest in things like Music on Mill, the Thursday Night Market, housing interest etc.
Recent public meetings to discuss the Tempe South High Capacity Study shed more light on what may be a part of our not too distant future. METRO has made a recommendation of a fairly recent idea of a Mill / Ash loop with a Modern Streetcar. A Modern Streetcar isn’t some cheesy little trolley like some envision. It is similar to a … (0 comments)

mill avenue district: Tempe Oktoberfest Is Fun For All

I always look forward to the Tempe Oktoberfest! Like years past, there will be games for the kids, plenty of live music to suit many tastes, and of course, BEER.
For many of us living in Tempe, this event is one that we look forward to each year. Local bands, local businesses and thousands of people come out to have some fun in the sun.
Held at the northern end of the Mill Avenue District, this year’s Oktoberfest will be three days jam packed full of activities beginning Friday, October 1st – Sunday October 3rd. One of the best parts? … (2 comments)

mill avenue district: That Damn Dam
- 07/24/10 05:49 PM
The city of Tempe made national headlines this past week as a section of the Tempe Town Lake dam burst causing nearly a BILLION gallons of water to run down the river leaving behind a moody mess.
The rubber dam built by Bridgestone burst near 10pm Tuesday evening. Within minutes of the dam bursting people called 911, warning sirens filled the air and the stories begin to hit the news channels. Hearing the news, I called my friend, Michael Monti who owns the landmark Tempe restaurant Monti’s La Casa Vieja. Michael and his business partner were on the scene with Paul … (4 comments)

mill avenue district: AZ Real Estate Agents - Sign Here!
- 09/07/09 10:16 AM
I have mentioned it before, but I LOVE DocuSign for electronic signatures. Talk about a great product for our real estate business - it just can't be beat. In fact, I have also mentioned that DocuSign is so cool, even my mother-in-law loves it. :-)
Another thing I love is networking and yes, "social-networking" is a great way to network with clients, business professionals and the media.
Over the past couple of months, I have enjoyed "meeting" An Bui from Docusign. Actually, An and I have never met in person, we have met on-line, mainly through her DocuSign Twitter updates. When … (9 comments)

mill avenue district: Tempe Ribbon Cutting at Fidelity National Title
- 09/17/08 03:46 PM
I was really glad to have been invited to the ribbon cutting to celebrate Fidelity National Title's relocation to the Hayden Ferry Lakeside building. This is one of the most impressive spaces around and they occupy the entire 11th floor of this gorgeous building. As you cross the Mill Avenue Bridge or pass by on the freeway on the North side of the lake, you can't help but look at these beautiful buildings. Basically, you have the commercial space closer to the bridge and the residential towers of Bridgeview and Edgewater directly to the East. Talk about a cool lifestyle! Imagine working in one of … (2 comments)

mill avenue district: Tempe Homes Near Light Rail
- 09/07/08 05:35 PM
The upcoming Light Rail system in Arizona will bring some very significant changes to the areas along the line. I have been following these areas very closely for the past two years and am looking forward to the opening of light rail this December. One of the more popular Tempe areas near the new light rail system is the Mill Avenue District. With a light rail stop at Mill Avenue / 3rd Street, the homes near by will be easily accessible to downtown Phoenix for employment and entertainment reasons. I am enclosing a sample of some of the "affordable" homes in that … (3 comments)

mill avenue district: Riding Light rail from Tempe to Phoenix
- 08/22/08 07:23 AM
The new AZ light rail system opening in December looks pretty easy to use. Much of the 20 mile route contains 2 sets of tracks where the cars will pass each other. At each station, you simply board a train heading in your desired direction. For instance, most stations are built in the middle of the street. If you are in Tempe and want to ride to downtown Phoenix for work or for a sporting event, it is a pretty short trip and you have several options. Let's use boarding a train at one of the four Apache Boulevard stations as an example. You will enter the … (1 comments)

mill avenue district: Arizona's evolving transportation system
- 07/30/08 05:39 AM
Last week, I was in San Francisco for two different real estate conferences. I had a great time, and enjoyed the convenience of utilizing San Francisco's public transportation system. I specifically picked a hotel that was between the two conferences and was adjacent to a BART station so that I could try it all out. From the airport, during traffic, I was at my hotel in less than a half hour and the cost was just over five bucks. The bus system on Market street was surprising to me as well. I recall seeing at least 4 different types of bus that … (4 comments)

mill avenue district: Tempe Bargain at $92.5 Million?
- 06/28/08 06:23 AM
I was a little surprised that SunCor decided to sell one of their two office towers at Hayden Ferry Lakeside to New York based Sumitomo corp. While some of the projects in and around the Mill Avenue District have been delayed, canceled or had different "financing issues" come up, the Hayden Ferry project is one that seems to have it all. Great location, great views, easy access to freeways, the airport and the upcoming light rail line etc.. The project is a wonderful mix of commercial and residential uses.
The commercial building that has been sold has a decent tenant in Smith Barney. … (3 comments)

There are many factors that will go help in the decision when you purchase your next home. Of course, location plays a major factor in most sound real estate purchases. To help find out how "walkable" a neighborhood is, you can check out this nifty web site that will give your neighborhood a "score" based on the amenities near by.My neighborhood in South Tempe scores a "decent" 66. At 70, a neighborhood is considered "very walkable" according to the guys at WalkScore.com Here is their break down..90 - 100 = Walkers' Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many … (33 comments)

mill avenue district: Merrion Square - Tempe AZ Lofts
- 03/21/08 05:59 PM
I recently toured the Merrion Square mixed use project in Tempe and was impressed with the overall layout of this small project in a great Tempe location. On the ground level, you find four commercial units with eight residential units directly above. Although there is currently no covered parking, I was told the spaces will be covered very soon. The units have many nice features including high ceilings, nice finish work, travertine baths, granite kitchens and a good use of space. The original builder wasn't able to complete the project that was supposed to be sold in 2006 and a new … (2 comments)

mill avenue district: Phoenix Light Rail - A very interesting project
- 01/18/08 01:09 AM
Recently, I was allowed to take a tour of the Operations and Maintenance Facility for the upcoming Light Rail system in Phoenix and I got to actually ride in one of the cars! I also met with the Project Manager for the maintenance facility and was able to discuss some of the technology, our opinions on future ridership, demographics, expansion etc.
During my meetings and research of the new rail line, here are some "facts" as I remember them, as I was told or as I have read.1. Arizona Light Rail cars will be among the most technologically advanced in the world.2. 16 cameras … (5 comments)

- 12/06/07 12:15 PM
The many new developments in Tempe are fun to watch. From Bridgeview to Mosaic to Centerpointe to the new Monti's project, the Mill Avenue District is really "growing up." Soon, the Valley's Light Rail system will travel right through the community. If you haven't been down there lately, you will be amazed. If you have, you can't help but notice how "alive" the area is. People of all walks of life enjoy this area. From small coffee shops to million dollar condos with HOA fees in the $1500.00 per month range! :-) The park, the lake and near by hiking at … (0 comments)
