The southwest corner of the land currentlty includesa 272,000-square-foot, three-building complex that houses software and pharmaceutica tenants.
The north side of the property containws the Metropolitan RegionalInformational 72,000-square-foot headquarters. Last the board also recommendedthat Danac's Corridort Cities Transitway stop be located at or near its northeasternb corner, near the intersection of Diamondbacl Drive and Decoverly That is good news for since the board had left out the stop in earlier drafts. The transift stop near the corner may be developed whether the state retains the current road alignment or adoptsthe county's locally preferred alternative.
The board also pickedx that location because the northeastern corner is considered to be convenientr for pedestrians from the Decoverlyresidential communities.
