The City of Avondale broke ground on a multi-level parking garage structure at The BLVD, which will serve current and future development at this fast-growing, trendy mixed-use destination.
Located on the southeast corner of 114th Avenue and Roosevelt Street, the parking garage will replace the existing park-and-ride facility, with 100 of the 409 spots in the new structure dedicated to transit riders. Construction is expected to be completed in October 2022.
City officials were joined by Okland Construction and BWS Architects for the groundbreaking ceremony, which was live-streamed on social media.
“With all the development and new investment in The BLVD, the parking structure is a needed amenity to support the area and enhance visitor experience,” said Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise.
The amenity will serve to enhance the economic development potential for this core city-center area for years to come. Currently, The BLVD is home to multiple hotels (My Place, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites and Residence Inn); housing (Avari Apartments and The Village at The BLVD), and current tenants at the Randall McDaniel Sports Complex — 2 “Di” 4 Popcorn, Phoenix Children’s Sports Medicine Clinic, and the American Sports Center Avondale which draws half a million visitors a year. Also, coming soon: Aveda Institute of Avondale, Soda Bomb, Tap2, and New Penny Café.
