Arizona State University, a tax-payer funded institution whose apparent purpose is to salvage poorly-thought-out commercial real estate investments, races to the rescue of another white elephant<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Arizona State University has struck a multiyear deal with downtown Phoenix’s only shopping mall and plans to use it as a temporary student union for its new college campus.<\/p>\n

The university will lease about 4,000 square feet of space at the Arizona Center – an outdoor restaurant, retail and office complex at Third and Van Buren streets – and hopes to make it available to students for meetings and social gatherings by September.<\/p>\n

The student union space will be directly above the AMC Theatres on the mall’s northern end.<\/p>\n

The terms of the deal are still being finalized, but both ASU and the shopping center stand to benefit from the arrangement.<\/p>\n

University officials, who have just weeks to go before the new Phoenix campus opens, are feverishly looking for ways to boost the student-life appeal of the downtown area. The Arizona Center has long been underutilized as a shopping destination. Partnering with the university could mean a substantial boost in the center’s foot traffic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alas, unless you’re wired with City Hall, they probably won’t take your house off your hands…
