Phoneix Project CityScape Gets Smaller

Phoenix, Arizona's massive downtown project, CityScape is being downsized due to the economy. The $900 million development, which was announced last year, spreads over three blocks. So far, construction of more than 1,000 condos in two towers has been put on hold. Another 65 apartments have been eliminated and one of the hotels, Twelve, is out of the project. Wachovia, the anchor tenant in the project's 27-story office tower may withdraw, the P.F. Chang's restaurant chain has pulled out and businesses are wary of signing up for retail space. A 34-story tower, the future home of a 250-room Hotel Palomar and 165 condos, is still under construction. Developers are hoping that an economic rebound will be underway by the time the first shops and offices open in 2010.

Cityscape Wallpaper

The Cityscape Hangers were charming, but small. The Cityscape Wallpaper collection, on the other hand, turns an ordinary room into a show worthy one, creating a uniquely contemporary wall design without the repetitious patterns that wallpapers typically feature. Printed on high-quality paper, the print is made from a custom drawing. The skyline would make a sunning accent wall, and using the paper all-over would definitely create a metropolitan atmosphere in a large, open loft. There are six different colors available in the collection, with the "City Mirage" pictured here. Price: £143.00 per roll.
