Cityscape

What Cityscape's governing documents say

Cityscape is a large mixed-use master-planned development in downtown Phoenix, comprising commercial office, retail, hotel, and residential buildings, plus parking garages and a park, all governed by this Master Declaration. It binds the owners of individual parcels (including the developer, future commercial owners, and condominium associations). The document establishes a framework for common area maintenance, assessments, easements, and an eventual homeowners association, but does not contain detailed rules for individual residential units.

• What you own & maintain: Each parcel owner is responsible for maintaining the interior and exterior of their own vertical improvements and appurtenant amenities. The Declarant (and eventually an association) maintains the common areas (walkways, landscaping, park, etc.) funded by assessments.
• Assessments: Annual assessments are set by Declarant based on a budget (commercially reasonable) to cover common area costs, with an administrative charge of up to 15% (10% for office/hotel parcels). Special assessments may be levied for extraordinary costs. Assessments create a lien on the parcel and are personally owed by the owner.
• Uses & development: The project is mixed-use: office, retail, hotel, and residential uses are permitted. The Declaration does not restrict residential leasing or pets—those rules will be in separate condominium or subdivision declarations. Future development is subject to Declarant's approval and site plan amendments.
• Parking & parking garages: Parking garages (Block 22 and Block 77) are separate parcels with their own lessee and operator. Parking areas are generally not common areas. Reserved, visitor, and unreserved spaces are designated per the parking plan. Garage expenses are paid from parking revenues.
• Easements & shared infrastructure: Extensive easements are granted for access, utilities, drainage, encroachments, and pedestrian bridges among parcels. Appurtenant amenities (e.g., elevators, loading docks) serving multiple parcels have shared maintenance costs allocated by Declarant.
• Enforcement & liens: Delinquent assessments incur a 5% late charge and interest at prime plus 5%. Declarant may foreclose the assessment lien after notice. The lien is subordinate to first mortgages but superior to other encumbrances. Owners can enforce maintenance obligations against other owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: This Master Declaration does not include specific rules for residential units (e.g., pet limits, leasing minimums, architectural guidelines, noise restrictions). Those will be found in the separate condominium or subdivision declarations governing individual residential buildings.
