If you have been watching the delightful resurgence of 7th Avenue, turn your eyes east to 3rd Street. Several high-end residential and non-franchise boutique-business developments are planned in an area known as the Third Street Promenade, between Steele Indian School Park and Downtown Phoenix.

Among the developers is Urban Dencity, a Scottsdale-based architecture and design firm. The company hopes to build Soleil, a four-unit residential project at Third Street and Mulberry Drive. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouses would be nearly 3,700 square feet each and would start at $1.35 million. All the units would have outdoor lap pools, roof decks and 10-foot ceilings. They also hope to build Forma on Third Street at Windsor Avenue. The two-bedroom lofts would have a pool and large patio and roof decks. Urban Dencity also will take advantage of the area’s potential business options with a mixed-used development on Third and Flower Streets. This development would have luxury condos on the top floor as large as 3,000 square feet and commercial projects on the ground floor. A restaurant, a wine bar, a little market. Hope so!
