Mario Kart-inspired apartments planned for Roosevelt Row in Phoenix
A video game is the inspiration for 36 new apartments near First and Portland in downtown Phoenix. Rainbow Road, named after the final course in all the Mario Kart games, is the brainchild of developer Zac Cohen and architect Lev Libeskind, who envision architecture as “livable works of art” and hope the project will inspire “more interesting” buildings in Phoenix. The site is zoned for a larger building and won’t have to undergo rezoning.
