The Valley Metro light rail extension ends at The Metropolitan mixed-use district, a $1 billion redevelopment of the former Metrocenter Mall. Hundreds of millions of dollars of economic development is now in the works nearby.

PHOENIX — A Phoenix developer is quietly buying properties surrounding the Metropolitan — the former Metrocenter Mall redevelopment project — and converting them to apartment units.

A group of partners are investing $400 million to convert existing space into 1,786 apartment units surrounding the Metropolitan.

Foundation 8 LLC’s most recent acquisition is the iconic Sheraton Crescent, which was built by the late Charles Keating in 1986 at the northeast corner of Dunlap and Interstate 17, near the $1 billion Metrocenter redevelopment project.

The 342-room Sheraton Crescent had been in receivership for three years.
