Located at the southwest corner of 8th Avenue and Roosevelt Street in Phoenix, this residential project includes 12 three-story, 1,650-square-foot, single-family attached townhomes on platted lots on a 0.56-acre infill parcel.
The project maintains a key setback and landscaping on the south side of Roosevelt Street, with six units presenting front doors to Roosevelt, complementing historic development in the neighborhood.
WMB obtained zoning adjustment variances to allow vehicular maneuvering in the alley right-of-way, reduce perimeter landscape setbacks on the west and south sides of the project, reduce the number of guest parking spaces, reduce lot width, and remove the common open space requirement. All variances were approved on April 14, 2022.
WMB worked closely with the FQ Story neighborhood and other neighbors regarding the design and public face of the project, including the selection of “friendly” shade trees along street fronts. The team worked closely with staff to fit a viable, needed infill development on three long-vacant parcels on the edge of Downtown.
