TEMPE, AZ — A 1.5-acre site near on the northwest corner of Baseline and Kyrene roads will be developed into two retail buildings anchored by a Starbucks.
Scottsdale-based Avalon Development bought the site in August 2018.
The site was deemed “archaeologically sensitive” due to its location within Los Hornos, an ancient Hohokam site.
“Over the course of a year, Avalon was able to pull off what at first seemed disheartening,” Scott Whittington, founder and principal of Avalon, said in a statement. “But by having a clear vision and working with the community to address their concerns, it allowed us to turn an abandoned mobile home park into a future neighborhood gem where families, students and people from all over the community will have a place to meet, enjoy coffee on-the-go, study and work, as opposed to staring at dust devils for yet another summer.”
More details about the development can be found on the Phoenix Business Journal.
