Glendale City Council’s recent approval of the Urban 95 residential master plan could pave the way for the city’s tallest buildings.
At 11 stories, the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Spa is currently the tallest building in the city.
The 34-acre plan includes two 15-story apartment towers near 95th and Missouri avenues. The overall site is planned for a total of 1,500 apartments across four parcels and ranges from the high-rise towers down to mid- and low-rise offerings.
The first phase of the development – a 198-unit complex on 11.5 acres called Cardinal 95 – is currently under construction.
Along with added highly sought-after residential units to the growing area, Urban 95’s owners are working with the ownership of VAI Resort – a multi-component theme park and hospitality master planned project also under construction in the area – on a plan that could mutually benefit VAI employees and apartment residents. Rent discounts and access to the resort could be included in the final agreement. (Source)
