Potential Tempe Streetcar Stations Identified

September 7, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

Last night, Metro held a public meeting to share information on the latest recommendations for the Tempe Streetcar project along Mill and Ash Avenues. While I found much of the information interesting and enjoyed talking with people about the alignment, the construction process and economic impacts, it was the station locations that seemed most interesting […]

Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Encore on Farmer Update

July 24, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

I was with some friends in Tempe on Friday night and we somehow brought up the Mill Avenue District. ( shocking, I’m sure ) When Encore on Farmer was brought up, there was a “I didn’t even know about that” statement. It reminded me that I had been sent a copy of the rendering for […]

Smart Money Leaving The Car Behind?

May 14, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

So, the price of oil recently dropped a bit, right? I don’t see a bunch of people ready to jump for joy over the current price of gas. What I have seen and heard is more and more people, from many walks of life, deciding to at least “try” to be less dependent on driving […]

Encore On Farmer Coming to Mill Avenue District

May 13, 2011 by Rail Life 2 Comments

Mill Avenue has had it’s ups and it’s downs, for sure. In the past, there have been some cool places come and go but the overall feel is that cool things are happening in what is arguably the state’s most urban environment. Lately, there has been quite a buzz about the West 6th buildings and […]

West Sixth – New Name For Centerpoint In Tempe

February 22, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

Remember back in September when we talked about the Centerpoint Condominium towers being sold to the Zaremba Group for $30 MILLION only to later hear that the deal was off because of a little snafu over a measly $20 MILLION, or so? In November of last year, we heard stories that the developer was a […]

Tempe Condos – Holiday Shopping On A Budget?

December 24, 2010 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

It was 2005 and a one bedroom unit at the Tempe Villa Condominiums near ASU just sold for $125,000 to someone that felt like they just hit the lottery. Bidding wars in Tempe and all over the valley were as common as sunshine on a summer day. Fast forward to December 24th, 2010 and there […]

Modern Streetcar – Stretching The Mill Avenue District

September 24, 2010 by Rail Life 2 Comments

Last night’s meeting to discuss the Tempe South High Capacity Study had many interesting components. I’ll cover more in the future, for sure. One of the more interesting ( to me ) components had to do with the recommendation of a fairly recent idea of the Mill / Ash loop with a Modern Streetcar. A […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Lofts at Orchidhouse

September 19, 2010 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

The Lofts at Orchidhouse on Mill Avenue happen to be just West of where our “railgating parties” take place and I have always liked the building and this project. While I was over there this past week taking a look at one of the units, I shot a few pictures. In the background, you see […]

Tempe Light Rail Extensions Still Up In Air

June 3, 2010 by Nick Bastian 1 Comment

While the decision to take the South Tempe Light Rail extension program “off the table” was made a long time ago, there are still discussions going on about the best way to get people south from the current line. The two remaining light rail extension options are bus rapid transfer from Rural Road and a […]
