CityNorth in North Phoenix Prepares to Debut!

I first wrote about the CityNorth development back in April of 2007 when the 269 acre parcel of state-owned land at 56th Street and Deer Valley was purchased (see North Phoenix Land Purchase at www.homeisarizona.com). Since then I have watched with anticipation as construction began and future retailers signed on for the mixed-development community just east of the hugely popular Desert Ridge area. (www.citynorthaz.com).
Recently it was announced that the grand opening of CityCenter of CityNorth is scheduled for November 13, 1008, and a block party will be held to welcome the public.
Phoenix Vice Mayor Peggy Neely is quoted in the following statement: “CityCenter of CityNorth will be a dynamic urban core for the Northeast valley, and is an model for the City’s mission to encourage sustainable growth and development”. CityNorth will define urban living upon completion, with an impressive mixture of residential, office and medical suites, retail boutiques, and several new-to-market restaurants!
In addition to boutique shopping, CityNorth will feature a Bloomingdale’s (the first to Arizona), a Nordstrom, and a Macy’s. Exciting, but equally as frightening to know that I will have that kind of a shopping bonanza practically right in my backyard, not to mention the restaurants and bars
