Plan unveiled for Scottsdale entertainment district

It may not be as expansive as originally planned, but a developer has initiated what is now a more gradual plan to further transform downtown Scottsdale's entertainment district, with the Valley's fourth Majerle's Sports Grille as an early key component. In 2007, Triyar Cos. proposed a $390 million makeover of a 10-acre area southeast of Scottsdale and Camelback roads with new clubs, restaurants, condos, offices, a hotel and a bowling alley. Triyar developed the W Scottsdale Hotel & Residences. That plan never materialized, but now Triyar is back with what will be the start of a scaled-down plan to grow the downtown entertainment district, said Shawn Yari , owner of Triyar Cos. The first project is the Downtown Entertainment Plaza, a three-building restaurant/bar complex on Saddlebag Trail south of Camelback. Construction on the nearly 13,000-square-foot complex began this month and should be completed in January.
