Forum Real Estate Group is developing The Local, a mixed-use project featuring 286 apartments and a Whole Foods Market 365 at the corner of University Drive and Ash Avenue in downtown Tempe. Ground has broken on the nine-story building with Whole Foods Market 365 on the bottom floor with an anticipated opening in 2019. The upscale apartments will take up five floors and one floor of parking has been set aside for grocery shoppers. Patrick Bradley, president of Whole Foods Market Southern Pacific Region, said the 365 markets differ from the main Whole Foods store only in presentation, “a fun new format.”
