Fiesta District Project

The Fiesta District is located in the southwestern portion of Mesa and covers
approximately 2 square miles.The District is rougly defined by the Tempe
Canal on the west, Extension Road on the east, US 60 on the south and
includes the commercial properties just north of Southern Avenue. It represents
the second largest employment center in the City of Mesa with approximately
16,000 employees.


The Fiesta District is indeed a hub for advanced business and financial
services, health care and retail industry. In addition to being an excellent
location for businesses that require Class A office space and executive hotel
accommodations, businesses take advantage of quick access to the US 60
and Loop 101 freeways and numerous area amenities. The District’s existing
conditions, provide the area with an incredible amount of daily activity
as its users come to work, learn, shop and seek the services of a number of
providers. this District has a very strong foundation with the high daily user
traffic allowing for an opportunity of untapped potential. To make an area
vital requires people, to make people stay, it requires a “destination”. From a
revitalization standpoint, this project is more about creating a sense of place
for the daily users to enjoy and want to stay, than attracting people. The
foundation is already set, providing a great condition for revitalization.

Project Area

Our Vision
The Fiesta District has potential to become a major urban center and economic development
engine for the city of Mesa and the southeast valley. The foundation is already set providing
the perfect condition for revitalization. By following the “Live, Work, Play” theme, we will be
able to create a sense of place for the community and newcomers alike.

Public stakeholders are invited to provide feedback at a follow-up meeting pertaining to the design concepts for the Fiesta Community.

Since the first meeting, March 11, the students have prepared a reconfiguration on the new zoning district and design standards, developing plans for pedestrian connectivity, public spaces, and community interaction. The alternative development plans presented last month have been altered, thus accommodating the views of the people.
