Glendale Mixed-Use Project Proposed Near Entertainment District

SimonMed is pursuing a permit to build a 239-unit apartment complex and 13,000 square feet of office space near the Glendale sports and entertainment district (photo).

The Phoenix Business Journal reports the new proposal would be developed in two phases and include two four-story buildings, a clubhouse and amenities such as pools, seating areas and kitchens. A standalone retail building will also go up along 99th Avenue and could be used for galleries, medical offices, coffee shops and microbreweries. TriArc Architecture & Design is the architect.

Nearby, the city has been working to prepare 200 acres for a master-planned commercial development with offices, retail areas, hotels, and high-density housing. The development would take several years and be in multiple phases.
