A 53-acre site adjacent to a baseball stadium in Phoenix, Arizona may be subject to future entertainment and retail development.
A Request for Proposals has been issued for the site alongside the Camelback Ranch-Glendale stadium, located at 10712 W. Camelback Road.
That stadium, opened in 2009, serves as the spring training home for both the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Now the two teams, working through their joint venture company Camelback Spring Training LLC, have announced that they are looking for the development of a project that would be “compatible and complimentary” to the teams’ training facility.
The RFP is also asking that any proposals include parking spaces for up to 2,500 vehicles.
Sources have indicated that such a development could additionally include some residential space as well as a possible hotel.
Because the stadium is leased by the City of Glendale, but owned by the City of Phoenix, any developments plans would have to first be approved by both cities.
The RFP submission deadline is December 1.
