A midcentury modern-inspired apartment complex planned near Roosevelt Row aims to capitalize on “an opportunity to create a world-class destination for architects” in Phoenix.
Intersection Development, a Phoenix-based company with several downtown plans in the works, expects to break ground on Manzana, a 68-unit structure with ground-floor restaurants and bars, in the first quarter of 2025.
The building is planned for a parking lot facing 1st Avenue, just south of Roosevelt Street. Intersection Development’s office is in the adjacent hardware store building, which also houses the arts organization Xico and Barcoa Agaveria.
The Manzana building was designed by Lev Libeskind, head of the Libeskind Studio Design and son of renowned architect Daniel Libeskind.
Manzana, an eight-story mixed-use project, is planned to break ground in the beginning of 2025 near First Avenue and Roosevelt Street.
