PCA CCPD State of Downtown Housing

PCA CCPD State of Downtown Housing

Twenty years ago, Downtown Phoenix barely registered on the national housing map. Today, more than 15,000 housing units have been built in the urban core since 2000 — with over 11,000 delivered since 2015. That's not a trend. That's a transformation.

On April 16, Phoenix Community Alliance's Central City Planning & Development Committee invites you to hear that story directly from the developers, architects, and housing experts who helped make it happen — and to join a forward-looking conversation about what comes next for Downtown housing, homeownership, and policy.

The event will feature:

• A panel of Downtown's most experienced housing voices sharing personal stories and market data spanning two decades of development
• A presentation of PCA's resident and employee survey findings — revealing what people who live and work Downtown actually want and need
• A look at Downtown Phoenix Inc.'s Digital Twin, a 3D visualization of Downtown's development evolution, exclusively available to PCA Members
• A forward-looking conversation on the condo defect law, middle housing, and the policy changes needed to unlock the next chapter of Downtown homeownership
