A new apartment project is planned for a rare vacant plot of land in downtown Scottsdale.
The project, named Canalside for its proximity to the Arizona Canal, is scheduled to go before the City Council for approval on Aug. 24.
According to plans filed with the city, Canalside will include 54 apartment units in a 50-foot building and around 900 square feet of retail space on the 1.17-acre site, which is wedged between Indian School Road and the Canal just east of 68th Street.
The project will include three floors of apartments above a parking structure. It will also include water and sewer infrastructure upgrades and improvements to landscaping and lighting along the canal, according to the city.
