City Scape Adds New Tenants To Make Downtown More Fun
April 6, 2010 by The Urban Team · 1 Comment
RED Development has announced additions to their already noteworthy list of tenants at City Scape in downtown Phoenix, AZ. The latest accords include a comedy club, bank and restaurant.
Stand-up Live will bring live comedy to downtown Phoenix in a 600 seat club that combines theater, restaurant and martini lounge. Stand Up Live is the brain child of Dan Mer of Tempe Improv fame. He is a noted leader in the comedy industry and says he is excited to bring his favorite entertainment art form to the urban core. In addition to shows, Mer says the club will offer comedy classes for kids and adults to help nurture local comedy talent.
Second up on the City Scape scene is LGO Public House a new restaurant concept by LGO Hospitality. LGO Hospitality is best known for their core store line, La Grande Orange. The Public House is described as an urban gastro-pub and will feature updated American fare served indoors and on an outside patio.
Bob Lynn says about his restaurants, “We are not about conformity. We create restaurants for the neighborhoods they’re located.” You’ll have to wait a while to enjoy their food though as the scheduled opening isn’t until this coming December.
Lastly in our City Scape update is the addition of Alliance Bank of Arizona. Alliance is our State’s 13th largest bank and a strong lender for the City Scape project with 40.2 million in loans extended to build the retail space and parking garage. Nice to see someone with skin in the game make an even deeper commitment to the neighborhood.

• Oakville Grocery – opening in September

I don’t know about you, but I am impressed with what RED Development is doing in downtown Phoenix. At a time when most commercial players are sitting on the sidelines licking their wounds, RED is on the field scoring big goals. The added vitality, job base and hope they’re bringing to our core is important and inspiring.
