More Development Planned for Glendale Entertainment District
Glendale’s Sports and Entertainment District is attracting another developer. At the corner of 99th Avenue and Ballpark Boulevard, the developer hopes to build apartments, retail space, and a possible hotel. The Project would be across the freeway from State Farm Stadium, where the Arizona Cardinals play football.
To be called Envision Encore, it would be a high-density residential development with a mixed-use component and is intended to be pedestrian-friendly. Besides apartments and a hotel, the Phoenix Business Journal reports the developers may include commercial retail like mini-marts, childcare centers, dry cleaners, cafes or hotels on the property,
The development would mark the latest high-profile project in and around Glendale’s sprawling Westgate Entertainment District. Attractions in the district include the Tanger Outlets, Desert Diamond Arena and the Tiger Woods-backed golf entertainment concept PopStroke.
A Top Golf location is directly to the east, along with the new Andretti Indoor Carting and Games facility, which will open this year.
