A new Tempe Marketplace sized shopping center is breaking ground in East Mesa. It sounds like a fairly regular collection of stores, so who knows if it will have any of the same features of Tempe Marketplace - they probably just wanted to give us a size comparison. However, there is some particular thoughts when that name is brought up and they should have considered it before they used the comparison. I am sure its just a coincidence on the names, but lets hope that they don't go for the same signage that Marketplace has because that stuff is atrocious.
A plan for apartments and hotel space is interesting, although, who is going to want to live in them besides the people who work in the shopping center? Without other employment centers in the area, its hard to believe that there is a dramatic need for apartments in that area. However, it looks like this project is going to be built without incentives and without an election. Hooray!

Every time I drive by the Tempe Marketplace signage at night, I think, "A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies!"
It's straight out of Blade Runner... and not in a good way.
