Saying demand for office space has dwindled since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the developer of Norterra in north Phoenix is asking the city of Phoenix for permission to add 1,400 more multifamily units instead of office space.
The developer, USAA, is requesting the planned-unit development for the 405-acre mixed-use development, which is already partially built out, be amended to allow for higher multifamily densities in two areas of the property.
The development team will hold a neighborhood meeting about the request Thursday. The meeting’s time and location has not yet been announced.
