Phoenix Getting Apartments, New Supermarket Where Bashas Was

PHOENIX, AZ – When Bashas's closed it's location at 7th Avenue and Osborn Road in midtown last year, the question was: what's next? The answer is a new apartment building next to a shopping center anchored by a new supermarket.

The Bashas, which had been there since 1956, had been the chain's oldest location in town.

It will now be The Osborn Residences, according to developers High Street Residential and MetLife Investment Management.

The building will contain 190 apartments ranging from 583 to 1,358 square feet.

"Midtown and Downtown submarkets are home to Phoenix’s most diverse population and as a result, the project is designed and amenitized with the goal of appealing to a wide range of potential renters," High Street Residential’s Phoenix Business Unit Senior Vice PresidentPaul Tuchin said.

"Our onsite amenities as well as adjacency to a notable grocer, Starbucks, and retail shops at The Osborn Marketplace will provide our residents with a unique, walkable mixed-use community."

The Osborn Marketplace will be anchored by a Sprouts.

Tuchin says that when the apartments open in August 2019, residents will have access to a large club room with buffet kitchen, lounge spaces, gaming area and Wi-Fi throughout the common areas.

The project will also feature an indoor/outdoor connection to the outdoor amenities, which include a resort style pool, courtyard, shaded lounge areas, fire pits, outdoor kitchen and grills, hammocks, yoga lawn, lush landscaping and site lighting.
