The fourth time was the charm for the once embattled Mercado Village multifamily home project near the intersection of 92nd Street and Shea Boulevard where an empty office building now stands.
After failing three other times over as many years to get approval from the Scottsdale City Council for a rezoning request to allow the project, Scottsdale-based developer Caliber finally got the approval it needed during the council’s Dec. 4 meeting.
But after years of making concessions to residents angry over the project, Caliber made one final change that may have pushed the project past the finish line - instead of apartments for rent, all of the units will now be condos for sale.
