Tempe City Council approved the second and final public hearing for Rio 2100 Residences, a proposed six‑story market‑rate multifamily complex at 2132 S. Cameron Way with 315 dwelling units and about 2,500 square feet of publicly accessible co‑working space.

Sarah Sawyer, representing Barry Riddell LLC, described site context near the Loop 101/202 interchange, noted the property is zoned Mixed Use High and outlined design elements including perimeter trees, pedestrian landscaping, a multi‑level parking structure to buffer the freeway interchange, energy‑efficient appliances, irrigation practices to limit overspray, and additional EV‑ready parking spaces. Sawyer said the project was previously entitled in 2023 and that the current request is a minor PAD amendment and a major development plan review to enable market‑rate multifamily with complementary co‑work amenities.

Councilmember Hodge moved approval and Councilmember Adams seconded. The council approved the item 6–0 with Vice Mayor Garland absent.

What happens next: With final approval, the developer may proceed to finalize permit applications and project implementation consistent with the approved PAD and DPR. Staff did not provide a construction schedule or funding breakdown during the meeting.
