A car-free development that’s long been hailed as potentially transformative is starting to come to life in Tempe, Arizona.
At Culdesac, a collection of mid-sized apartments and retail spaces with no residential parking, exterior walls have risen. Pavers, murals and desert cactus accent walkways and public spaces, and on-site restaurants and a farmer’s market recently opened. The first group of residents is set to move into a 16-unit building this May.
