Phoenix Greenlights Demolition Permits for Historic Metrocenter Mall
Metrocenter, once a bustling hub of activity, is set to enter a new phase of change as demolition of the historic Valley mall begins imminently. Phoenix city officials have recently issued demolition permits on September 5 to Florida-based developers, including Concord Wilshire and TLG Investment Partners.
The 64.2-acre site, strategically located at the intersection of Dunlap Avenue and Interstate 17, will undergo a significant transformation. Plans for the property include the creation of a walkable urban village, a move that reflects ongoing trends in urban development and community living.
This decision marks a pivotal moment for the area, as Metrocenter has been a fixture in the community since it opened its doors. The redevelopment aims to revitalize the surrounding neighborhood, offering new possibilities for residents and visitors alike.
As the demolition process unfolds, the focus remains on bringing new life to a vacant property while addressing the needs of the local community. Excitement is building around what the future holds for the site and how it will contribute to the broader urban landscape of Phoenix.
