Light Rail Park & Ride - McClitock / Apache

The Tempe Light Rail Park and Ride Facility at the McClintock and Apache Stop looks /sounds like it will be an interesting place. Built on 4.6 acres, the facility will be a mix of parking, retail and residential units. The latest notes I have from a recent meeting mention 'Flexible Retail" (12,300 sq ft.), 450 residential units and a 6 story, 65 ft. tall structure.

The first 300 parking spaces will be Park & Ride and I read that the parking structure will not be prominently visible.

The first phase calls for the parking structure with retail and residential to follow. The project was designed to be "perfect" for crime prevention although I am not sure of the specifics as to what they meant by that. Based on notes from an area committee meeting, they are looking for some "destination retail" to be a part of the project. Of course, Starbucks was mentioned but maybe a cool little coffee house or some good food will suffice.

The only name I could find  was Gray Development Apache Blvd (1811 East Apache)
I took these pictures today standing between what looks to me like the main entrance and the main structure. There is a stop light just east of McClintock with the Park n Ride signage. I will contact the developer soon to see if any new/updated information is available. (maybe some drawings or pics?)
