Title: Phoenix Warehouse District

URL: http://www.phxwd.com/

Description: "The City of Phoenix Warehouse District is on the verge of a comeback. Head south a few blocks of downtown and the buildings get shorter. Towering skyscrapers give way to vintage brick warehouses. Here in the shadows of Talking Stick Resort Arena and Chase Field, the vibe is more laid back. This is where visionaries see what others cannot. An inspiring glimpse, at once, of downtown Phoenix’s past and future. Today, the neighborhood is being reborn with exciting results. It’s attracting an eclectic collection of office spaces, restaurants, galleries, and one-of-a-kind venues for music and events. It’s urban realness draws creative ventures and tech start-ups alike. Ambitious entrepreneurs are reinvigorating once-shuttered warehouses with adaptive new uses. It’s more than a different side of the tracks – it’s a different side of Phoenix – and its gaining momentum. This is the future of downtown’s next wave of growth."
