New life has come to a proposed self-storage facility near the Tramonto development in Phoenix, AZ.
Developer High Range Partners withdrew its application after local residents objected to the facility at a meeting of the Phoenix North Gateway Village Planning Committee. But Brexton LLC came along, partnered with High Range Partners and revived the pitch for a two-story, 117,000-square-foot building. Brexton also made changes to the site plan following requests from the Tramonto HOA board.
