Stop the 90-Foot Tower at 24th Street and Biltmore Circle!
The 2400 Biltmore project is too tall, too dense, too congested, and too misguided for our neighborhood.

Why 2400 Biltmore is Wrong for Our Neighborhood
-
The 2400 Biltmore project would rise six stories—up to nearly 90 feet once tall retaining walls are added. There is nothing else near 24th Street or the Arizona Biltmore neighborhood that comes close to that scale. Our neighborhood’s low-rise character was intentionally preserved to protect views of Piestewa Peak and the Phoenix Mountain Preserve.
-
City planning guidelines call for tall, dense projects only within designated Village Cores, tapering down as development moves outward. This project breaks that standard, setting a dangerous precedent for over-scaled buildings in residential areas outside the core.
-
The project would add 200+ housing units, an office, and a restaurant on already congested private streets. The traffic “solution”—a single painted stripe—is not enough. Our local, privately-owned and maintained roads weren’t built for this level of vehicle and pedestrian volume.
-
Neighbors aren’t against development—we’re against bad planning. A smaller, context-sensitive project could fit beautifully here. But this design overwhelms everything around it and threatens the livability that makes the Biltmore area special.
