Revitalization for Historic Coronado Neighborhood

by Mike Hunter

Coronado

Heather Lennon, founder and owner of Imagine General Contracting and Development, aims to revitalize Phoenix’ key historic Coronado neighborhood with her new project, Imagine Coronado. The 50,000-square-foot parcel features a complex of 11 buildings, seven of which are historic (each between 99 and 108 years old), that are being transformed into a wellness enclave and community hub for the Phoenix downtown community, elevating the area “from blight to belonging.”

According to Lennon, Imagine Coronado champions adaptive reuse and circular design, repurposing materials in creative ways. From old metal containers as fire pits to architectural salvage as shade structures, Imagine Coronado demonstrates how elements can be thoughtfully given a second life.
