Precedent Research: Ongoing Housing Developments in Phoenix

Two ongoing multi-family housing development under the similar context are studied. One is Soluna Apartments development in the central city area of Phoenix, another one is Culdesac neighborhood in Tempe.

Soluna, the first phase of a five-phased undertaking, features 177 modern, energy-efficient units ranging from one to five bedrooms. The community is designed to provide quality living at an affordable cost, with 80 percent of units offered as affordable housing and 20 percent of units available at market rate.

Located just 2.5 miles from downtown Tempe, Culdesac neighborhood features zero residential parking on a 16-acre infill site next to a light rail station. The car-free neighborhood is largely driven by innovative mobility technology that makes it easier for people to give up their car. The neighborhood will be 100% rental, thus providing a different approach to multifamily development.
