Bridging the boundary between the burgeoning Evans-Churchill and historic
Roosevelt neighborhoods, the community surrounding the Cathedral campus has
undergone a resurgence of new development in the past five years, most
notably with the completion of the distinctive Roosevelt Square apartments and
pedestrian-oriented retail establishments. More new residential, small
business, and arts-oriented development is planned for the downtown Phoenix
community.
The next several years will bring even more excitement to our
neighborhood as the Translational Genomics Research Institute and Arizona State
University's Capital Center Campus will soon transform our downtown
Phoenix area into a bustling center for education, research, business, and
entertainment. Rounding out these exciting plans will be the new Metro
light rail system, connecting communities throughout the metropolitan
region from Mesa to north Phoenix. A light-rail station is being
constructed just across First Avenue from the Cathedral. |
