Mesa Council Study Session Mon 16 Oct 2017
Item 6A started in 1883 and Mark Freeman wants some history and he gets it from Director of Downtown Transformation Jeff McVey who stumbles quickly through an update on what was a 2.75-acre parcel that's now 3 1/2 acres -
NEEDS A ZONING CHANGE to include some townhomes along a short stretch of Pomeroy Street that was just a drive-in to a parking lot for BenU and a 3-story parking garage behind Mesa Supreme Court
WHAT IS IT? 2 new 7-story buildings - watch for some details
Mayor John Giles tunes in with some mumbo jumbo about "vertical/urban" ???

Who set-up Sally Jo Harrison for this cover shot with Real Estate Developer Tony Wall, who can't seem to get the financing for his $60-Million Dollar GRID PROJECT.?
Time will tell - it's back "to the drawing boards" and back to the entire development review process.
Deadline is June 30, 2019.
There are more than just a few stories about the cover behind the 2019 Edition of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce's Compass magazine, published by Republic Media Content Marketing, a division of The Arizona Republic.

Here In 'The Old Donut-Hole" Parking Spaces = New Land Banks
The media blitz is on for a development atop the 3-story city-owned parking garage behind the Mesa Superior Court building on First Avenue. Just one day after the mayor's SOTC18 speech, he's thrilled [seems like John Giles is always "thrilled" and "excited" about something] to announce "the big deal" to a news crew from ABC 15 that happened to show up in the 3-acre parking lot at 300 East Main Street between the Wells Fargo building and classroom space for Benedictine University at 225 East Main.
Most people are familiar that area if only to grab a bite to eat at Pete's Fish & Chips on the west side of Mesa Drive slightly south of the intersection with Main Street . . .Maybe you, dear readers need some help wrapping your head around that, so here it is from the ABC15 crew with a reporter and camera guy in the parking lot in front of the parking garage, Mayor John Giles stepping out his office door, and some other on-camera selected talent. All of them appear to have gotten the right talking-points.

THE GRID Runs Into A Road-Block: No Financing | "Ready-to-Roll" It Is Not
> The GRID Would Build on Underutilized Parking Garage
Where: Main and Pomeroy streets
What: 196 sky apartments, 75 micro-units and 15 three-level row homes, plus commercial development.
The GRID is planned as an apartment complex and commercial development on three acres of city-owned land that includes an underutilized parking garage next to Benedictine University.
A Co+Hoots co-working space was initially set to anchor The GRID but is now working to partner with Benedictine.
The GRID plans to build a six-story building on Main Street and four stories of apartments on top of the existing three-story parking garage.

Mesa would continue to own the garage, providing the developer 340 spaces for residents and commercial visitors.
The GRID was initially expected to open in fall 2019 but McVay said it has faced challenges securing financing.
McVay said city officials talked with investors earlier this month and they’re optimistic the project will happen.
He said he hopes financing for The GRID will wrap up by the end of 2019 and that construction could begin early next year
