The city of Tempe wants to encourage development to add density to the already-lively Danelle Plaza, near Southern and Mill Avenues and home to popular businesses such as Yucca Tap Room, Rocket A Go-Go and Cervantes Mexican Food.
The city is now reviewing responses to a request for qualifications seeking developers to build a mixed-use development including commercial space and apartments on a 3.14-acre city-owned site in the center of the plaza.
âDanelle Plaza is such a prime location,â Tempe Economic Development Director Donna Kennedy said. âThe city has had its eye on it for many years, and now, all the property owners agree the next generation of development could occur there, and it could be the best mixed-use destination.â

Drive-by Art
With some art spaces closed due to pandemic precautions, outdoor art installations offer fresh ways to explore the creative landscape. Over at Danelle Plaza in Tempe, which is home to the Yucca Tap Room, you can see work by some of the Valley’s best-known artists. Most recently, Kyllan Maney painted a series of murals and Laura Spalding Best installed a temporary work of public art made with cast-off traffic signs. They’re on view 24/7 just off the plaza parking lot, where you can keep an eye out for new works that pop up periodically.
