Phoenix Car Wash Redevelopment Sparks Midtown Shift

Image
What Is The Corner at Midtown? At the northwest corner of Third Street and McDowell, The Corner at Midtown is a planned mixed-use redevelopment of the former Los Olivos Hand Car Wash site at 232 E. McDowell Road in Phoenix’s Arts District. Helix Properties, a Phoenix-based commercial real estate firm, bought the long-vacant parcel in May 2022 for $3.6 million. The company presents the project as a walkable destination aligned with Midtown’s urban growth pattern and adjacent transit access. Similar mixed-use efforts in other cities have drawn attention for urban revitalization strategies tied to infrastructure and public-space improvements. It is planned as a new retail and restaurant center for the long-vacant site. Site Context and Development Role The property stands beside the Arts District Apartments and near the light rail line, placing it within an established cultural corridor. Its position near major museums, Roosevelt Row, and the Arizona School for the Arts supports communi...

New Jersey Sky-High Pool Tower Opens

Image
Why The Greyson Pool Stands Out At the top of The Greyson, the swimming pool occupies the 29th floor of the 29-story tower, giving the development the highest pool position in New Jersey. That elevation sets it apart from standard ground-level amenities. The rooftop sky deck introduces broad views of the Jersey City skyline and sightlines toward Manhattan. Its oval-shaped enclosure adds a distinct architectural identity while reinforcing controlled access. The pool also stands out because use is limited to residents of the building’s 622 units. Those privacy features support a more exclusive environment than publicly accessible facilities. Like other premium developments shaped by smart home technology , the property emphasizes convenience alongside exclusivity. Smart electronic locks elsewhere in the property reflect a broader emphasis on secure entry. Operationally, the amenity benefits from a newly completed setting designed for resident use. Its maintenance protocols are expected t...

Nashville Wedgewood-Houston Campus Plan Emerges

Image
What Is the Wedgewood Village Development? At its core, Wedgewood Village is a large-scale redevelopment effort that transforms a former industrial pocket in Wedgewood-Houston into a dense, walkable district centered on culture, hospitality, and commerce. The project defines itself as a destination for fashion, art, music, and entertainment just south of downtown Nashville. It builds on Wedgewood-Houston’s identity as a crossroads for culture and commerce while aiming for a cohesive, pedestrian-focused environment. Spanning 18 acres and more than 1.6 million square feet, the plan assembles non-contiguous parcels into a unified district. Like other major urban redevelopments, it reflects growing emphasis on walkability and transit-linked public space as core features of modern district planning. Historic Fabric and Modern Use Its concept relies on historic preservation through adaptive reuse and warehouse-inspired spaces that acknowledge the area’s industrial past. That approach blend...
