“In racing, as in construction, you are only as good as the equipment you have under you,” said NASCAR legend Joe Nemechek to a gathering of ROMCO Equipment customers during a recent race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. This truism was among several comparisons Nemechek and ROMCO owner Robert Mullins drew between racing and heavy construction as they addressed the crowd of contractors and ROMCO customers that were on hand for the event.
A $75 million project known as The Fillmore will reshape downtown Phoenix when it debuts in 2021. Sitting on 2.8 acres, the mixed-use development will include 348 multifamily units and more than 7,000 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail space. “Currently, downtown Phoenix is home to the state’s most diverse population, and, as a result, The Fillmore is designed with the goal of appealing to a wide range of potential renters,” said Paul Tuchin, principal of High Street Residential. “The population downtown is growing at a rapid pace, and the demand for new multifamily development is
very high. The resident base includes a growing pool of young professionals, students, retirees and seasonal renters. Companies continue to expand and locate downtown, drawing additional residents and retailers.” see FILLMORE page 10
