"A new development could be coming to downtown Mesa and the East Valley city’s Main Street.
The city of Mesa and development firm 3W Management LLC have inked a memorandum of understanding to bring new housing and commercial development to a 2.75-acre property at Main Street and Pomeroy.
Jeff McVay, downtown transformation manager for the city of Mesa, said plans call for
  • a seven-story mixed-use commercial building
  • 190 apartments in a 3-story building on top of an existing parking garage
  • and 14 townhouses / row houses be built on the downtown site.
 
The commercial building could house office and retail while the planned apartment building would be three stories and built on top of an existing parking garage.
The development also looks to bring 80 housing units for students at Benedictine University which is next to the city-owned properties slated for development.
> McVay said the city and Arizona-based 3W Management still need to finalize their deal for the property.
> He said construction could start by the end of the year if the deal is finalized.
 
The properties sit along the Metro light rail.
Mesa is extending light rail from Mesa Drive to Gilbert Road
Mesa is working to redevelop empty, underused, old and closed car dealerships and some rundown properties along Main Street as it connects into Tempe.
 
The downtown area is home to the Mesa Arts Center and a number of coffee shops, stores and restaurants. The city hopes to bring more housing and residents to the area."
