Default 10.9MB of wide-angle downtown Phoenix construction updates goodness!
Roamed a bit around downtown Phoenix today for a bit of a construction update...


The ever-changing view down Central Ave.



CityScape: The immense hole that will soon become two new towers.



CityScape: Skeletal remains of Patriot's Park, being replaced with downtown first grocery store, retail, restaurants, and new park areas.





1924 Luhr's Building undergoing renovations.



One Central Park East: 26 story / 383 FT. office building.









Phoenix Convention Center: New East and North buildings, bringing it into the top 20 biggest convention centers in the US.



Sheraton Downtown Phoenix Hotel: Opening October 2008.





















The impact of ASU's new Downtown Campus: Four brand new buildings and park...so far.





















Alta Phoenix: 328 apartment lofts.

It's the same building in the fifth picture; it's the 1924 Luhr's Central Building that is being renovated. It was purchased recently by a San Diego company and they are bringing the building back to life and upgrading it entirely.

Its the start of a floating sculpture, I forget its name at the moment.

Nice shots once again! I love the color scheme on that ASU building, with its namesake on the side. Neat!
