 Report Suspicious 
Good afternoon, 
I am in complete support of the proposed tower. The proposed site center has been dying on the vine for over a decade 
and suffering a very slow death. I belive that this structure would add  the econimic sustainability both in the short term 
and controlled density health in the long term. 
I am in favor of the project.

I can not attend the PHO meeting tomorrow pm, so I am sending this email in support of the project, pending final 
design detail yet to be published. 
I am on the ABEVA Board, but support the density of the proposed Project as a homeowner in the Biltmore.  I have 
lived in the Biltmore Community for 12 years.  My office has been in the Esplanade at 2425 East Camelback for 20 
years ( boy, where did that time go !). I designed both the Best Western Headquarters and the JDM building at 
24th and Arizona Biltmore Circle when most of the Biltmore was desert. 
However, my support is more attributed to my Architectural and Planning experience and with experiencing 
the  deterioration of Biltmore Fashion Square over the years.  Since Scottsdale Fashion Square expanded years 
ago, and again, more recently, the Biltmore has had serious attrition.  I have been concerned the existing tenants 
are on life support augmented by the Lifetime Gym development.  The only way to resuscitate the Biltmore core is 
with mixed use density, and this Project would support that need. 
JDM has recently competed a major renovation of the Biltmore Golf Course, The Biltmore Hotel recently 
completed over $100 million renovation, and ABEVA is in process of a $2 million upgrade to three major 
entries.  All this investment is founded on the premise that the Biltmore Core is a special asset to the City of 
Phoenix that should be viewed with  vigor to vitalize its presence in the Metro Community. 
As an aside, I have received biased correspondence from the opposition ( that does not respond to my queries), 
which is normal, however, the text email soliciting support that has a preprogramed, non-changeable, misleading 
statement if you respond is not what I believe to be proper use of Social Media.  
Thanks
