Sloan Park is an American baseball park in Mesa, Arizona, which opened in 2014. The primary operator is the Chicago Cubs and the ballpark serves as their spring training home and is also the home of the Arizona League Cubs of the Arizona League and the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League. Sloan Park was built and paid for by residents of the City of Mesa, approved by ballot measure. It was primarily built to house spring training operations for the Chicago Cubs, who had previously played at nearby Hohokam Stadium. The stadium design was led by Populous. The dimensions of the playing surface closely match those of the Cubs' regular home stadium, Wrigley Field. There are many secondary fields at the park, most of which are training and practice fields. With a capacity of 15,000, Sloan Park is the largest spring training stadium by capacity in Major League Baseball, surpassing Camelback Ranch in Glendale (coincidentally, spring training home of the Cubs' in-city rival the Chicago White Sox) by 2,000 seats.Formerly known as Cubs Park, on January 8, 2015, it was announced that Sloan Valve Company had signed a naming-rights deal to the ballpark, giving it its current Sloan Park name. The stadium is currently the newest stadium in the Cactus League. While it is home to these spring training games, it has also hosted some youth tournaments.

Culdesac Tempe

Culdesac Tempe is a car-free mixed-use development in Tempe, Arizona that began construction in 2023. Culdesac Tempe is intended to be a car-free neighborhood in the U.S. housing 1000 residents when completed but with no accommodation for the cars of inhabitants. For residents seeking to commute without an available car, the development is located in Tempe, Arizona about 2 miles (3.2 km) from downtown and is the first project of the startup Culdesac. Construction of the neighborhood began in 2019, was estimated to cost $140 million, span 16 acres (6.5 ha), and include 636 apartment units and 24,000 square feet (2,200 m2) of restaurant and retail space. Residents in most of the Phoenix metro area rely heavily on personal vehicles for transportation. Culdesac is expected to eliminate the need for cars by locating most necessary services within the neighborhood and providing mobility benefits via partnerships with rideshare companies and public transit agencies. It is located adjacent to the Smith–Martin/Apache Boulevard station on the Valley Metro Rail network, which flows west into downtown Phoenix. The ban on parking spaces is intended to leave room opportunities for green space including courtyards, gardens, and places for the community to gather in the neighborhood. Culdesac enlisted Dan Parolek of Opticos Design to leverage their expertise in walkable communities and Missing Middle Housing for the first car-free neighborhood designed for shared mobility in the United States. Opticos led the master planning, designed diverse housing types, and coordinated a multi-disciplinary team including civil engineers, landscape architects, lighting consultants, commercial/food and beverage consultants, and the architect of record.
