Tempe's Skyline Continues to Change!

Tempe is about to get a major new hotspot and I’m genuinely excited about what it means for the city and for buyers and renters who want to be in the center of it all. Empire Group, through Aspirant Development, has announced Revelry, a Class A mixed use high rise planned for the southeast corner of Rural Road and University Drive, with construction expected to begin this spring.

Revelry is set to bring 533 residential units across two towers rising 17 and 15 stories, plus retail on the ground level and second floor. The mix of furnished and unfurnished residences is a big deal because it opens the door for more lifestyles, from ASU connected living to professionals who want a lock and leave option close to work, nightlife, and light rail.

What really has people talking is the amenity lineup. Think resort style pool, a massive outdoor deck, co working and coffee bar vibes, wellness spaces like sauna and cold plunge, plus fun extras like bowling, golf simulator, arcade, and even a dog spa. This is the kind of community that doesn’t just add housing, it adds energy, convenience, and a whole new social scene.

From a real estate perspective, this location is hard to beat. It’s minutes from Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe, surrounded by a huge population base and strong income demographics, which is exactly what supports long term demand. Projects like this create momentum for the entire area, boost walkability and retail growth, and bring fresh opportunities for anyone looking to live, invest, or position themselves near Tempe’s next big destination.
