Phoenix, West Valley Commercial Growth

West Valley Commercial Growth

Having lived in the West Valley of Phoenix for the past eight years, I am easily excited whenever I see any construction having the potential of being a future restaurant or shop. Not that I wasn’t fond of the neighborhood dairy or egg ranch. Actually, I miss having a working farm just down the street where I could purchase fresh produce. I’m just a little relieved at the prospect of quality dining and shopping without having to drive to Scottsdale.

The Southwest corner of 99th Ave and McDowell is to be the new home of Gateway Crossing. Prospective tenants include Claim Jumper, Islands Fine Burgers and Drinks, Paradise Bakery & Café, Best Buy, Chipotle, Rumbi Island Grill, and more. The first phase is to be completed in early 2007.

At Dysart and McDowell ground has broken on Pei Wei, NYPD Pizza and (I cannot wait) Sprouts. I cannot hold my breath much longer waiting for AJ’s to set up shop in the Far West Valley so I will have to be satisfied with Sprouts. Across the street on the northwest corner, a Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar is set to be built. Over the years, I enjoyed many a wing at BW3 in Ohio and am really looking forward to having one close to home.

As I hear (and can confirm) of more shopping/dining opportunities, I’ll post them here and on my website at AZHomeBuyerHelp.com. If you know of a new development in the area, drop me an email and let me know.
