Glendale’s Sports and Entertainment District is attracting another developer. At the corner of 99th Avenue and Ballpark Boulevard, the developer hopes to build apartments, retail space, and a possible hotel. The Project would be across the freeway from State Farm Stadium, where the Arizona Cardinals play football.

To be called Envision Encore, it would be a high-density residential development with a mixed-use component and is intended to be pedestrian-friendly. Besides apartments and a hotel, the Phoenix Business Journal reports the developers may include commercial retail like mini-marts, childcare centers, dry cleaners, cafes or hotels on the property,

The development would mark the latest high-profile project in and around Glendale’s sprawling Westgate Entertainment District. Attractions in the district include the Tanger Outlets, Desert Diamond Arena and the Tiger Woods-backed golf entertainment concept PopStroke.

A Top Golf location is directly to the east, along with the new Andretti Indoor Carting and Games facility, which will open this year.
