Phoenix Activity Report: Construction Slump Continues, Despite Several Large Projects
As the $1-billion CityScape wraps up its first phase in Phoenix, the downtown landscape will be relatively construction free for the first time in a decade. While commuters might enjoy that fact, the construction industry won�t be. The remaining project, the $252-million Maricopa County Court Tower, is continuing at a rapid pace.
Elsewhere in Phoenix, highly visible projects continue. PHX Sky Train is taking shape around and above the roadways of Sky Harbor International Airport, and Fountainhead Office Park is rising near the major interchange of interstates 10 and 60. This might give those same commuters the impression that the A/E/C industry is in the midst of a recovery.
