Re: Forty600 PUD – Z-9-22-4 
I am writing to express my support for Forty600, the proposed mixed-use development at the 
southwest corner of Central Avenue and Coolidge Street in Uptown Phoenix. The proposed 
development is exactly the kind of urban-oriented, multi-modal, high-quality development that 
the Uptown TOD plan envisions for and is needed in the Central Corridor. 
I’ve had the opportunity to speak with the development team, review the plans, and have my 
questions answered. Forty600 makes full use of this infill site with mixed-use vertical 
development that offers ground-floor commercial and retail spaces, activation along both street 
frontages and the Arizona Grand Canal, and new residential opportunities under a single roof. 
The development will include a first-of-its-kind canal-oriented restaurant space that will serve as 
an amenity for one of the busiest bike and pedestrian thoroughfares in the Valley. The applicant 
is also making a significant contribution to future canalscape improvements along the Arizona 
Grand Canal, providing a regional community benefit that will help make Uptown Phoenix a bike 
and pedestrian destination. 
Forty600 is the type of urban-focused investment and development in the Central Corridor that 
the City of Phoenix needs, and I am in full support of this application.

Dear Chair and members of the Alhambra Village Planning Committee, 
 
Subject: Support for the Forty600 Project 
 
I am writing to express my wholehearted support for the Forty600 Project, a groundbreaking 
mid-rise mixed-use development located in the vibrant Uptown Central Phoenix, at the junction 
of Central Avenue and Coolidge Street. This commendable initiative embodies the very essence 
of sustainable and inclusive urban development, promising to significantly enhance the quality of 
life for residents and invigorate the local economy. 
 
Forty600 stands as a testament to the value of community engagement, meticulous planning, and 
innovative design. The development team has demonstrated remarkable commitment by actively 
seeking feedback from neighbors, stakeholders, and the City of Phoenix. The end result is a 
harmonious design that is compatible with the surrounding community and reflects the needs and 
aspirations of its residents. 
 
The development exhibits exceptional urban design features that prioritize the pedestrian 
experience. The two-story storefront glazing, generous shading, and landscaping, as well as 
seating opportunities along Central Avenue, Coolidge Street, and the Arizona Grand Canal, not 
only create a welcoming atmosphere but also contribute to the visual appeal and identity of 
Uptown Phoenix.  
 
Importantly, Forty600 is in alignment with the city's objectives as set out in the Uptown TOD 
Plan, promoting an urban and vibrant light rail corridor while encouraging pedestrian and 
bicycle-friendly spaces. The synergy between this project and the city's broader goals can propel 
Uptown Phoenix towards sustainable development, fostering community well-being and 
economic prosperity. 
 
I respectfully urge the Village to recognize the immense potential of the Forty600 Project and 
provide it with the support and encouragement it deserves. This project represents an opportunity 
to make a long-lasting positive impact on the Uptown Central Phoenix community and the city 
as a whole. 
 
Thank you for your time and consideration. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Massimo Sommacampagna

I am writing to express my support for Forty600, the proposed mixed-use development at the 
southwest corner of Central Avenue and Coolidge Street in Uptown Phoenix. The proposed 
development is appropriate for that very small location and will be a high-quality development 
that the Uptown TOD plan envisions. 
 
I’ve had the opportunity to speak with the development team, review the plans, and have my 
questions answered. Forty600 makes full use of a very challenging site and the ground-floor 
commercial and retail spaces will be attractive and interesting.  The development will include a 
first-of-its-kind canal-oriented restaurant space that will serve as an amenity for one of the 
busiest bike and pedestrian thoroughfares in the Valley. The applicant is also making a 
significant contribution to future canalscape improvements along the Arizona Grand Canal, 
providing a regional community benefit that will help make Uptown Phoenix a bike and 
pedestrian destination.

Re: Forty600 PUD – Z-9-22-4 
 
I would like to register my strong support for the proposed Forty600 development at the 
southwest corner of Central Avenue and Coolidge Street. This project represents a true 
archetype for the kind of urban-oriented, multi-modal, high-quality development that the Uptown 
TOD plan envisions for and is needed in the Central Corridor. 
 
As a resident of nearby Midtown along the Central Avenue light rail corridor, I have witnessed 
the tremendous impact that smart infill development like this can have in stabilizing and 
enhancing neighborhoods while creating new housing opportunities and driving activity along 
formerly neglected commercial thoroughfares. 
 
Forty600 is the checks all the boxes for the City’s and neighborhoods needs from focused urban 
infill, and I am in full support of this application.
