Why the white-hot Shalimar Golf Club redevelopment controversy won’t go away

Plans to redevelop Tempe’s Shalimar Golf Club into a mix of single-family homes and rentals continue to face strong opposition from nearby residents concerned about density, traffic, and the loss of green space. Developers argue the project is necessary to ease Tempe’s housing shortage, but many neighbors say the revised plans don’t fit the community. The rezoning now requires supermajority approval from the City Council, leaving the project’s future uncertain.
