The city-owned land near Second and Roosevelt streets has sat unoccupied for more than 15 years, save for a short-lived temporary parking project in 2016.
In late January, five model homes built from shipping containers will be installed along flourishing Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix.
Local housing experts are mixed on whether the new project will catapult large-scale development of quick-occupancy modular homes as well as on the impact a private developer that prides itself on “exquisite downtown Phoenix living” can have on low-income families in need of affordable housing. But first, it will help a private corporation make a buck. A shipping container model home exhibition on Roosevelt Row, funded with $1.2 million in public funds, will eventually be used to house unsheltered people in Phoenix.
