Early in the 21st century Coronado and the United States economy experienced a real estate boom, in that boom caused the revitalization of many of the downtowns of large metropolitan cities. Phoenix was no exception. Light rail and a increase in high-rise, high density, residential living saw a return to the city for the “City Life”. Coronado was one of the many Historic neighborhoods that were on the forefront in leading the way, for providing this rebirth of the center city. Investors eager to take advantage in the increased value poured private money into Coronado in the form of renovation and restoration. Three City fight back programs brought city capital investment in to the Traffic Circle at 12th and Oak and the re- tooling of Virginia Avenue to handle the changes in a city which was having its downtown invigorated at a rapid pace. The eastern half of Coronado thrived on its Hispanic influence, and saw unprecedented renovation of many of the multi family buildings. Also saw the Coronado Historic district expanded once again, and redefine its own guidelines to guide it in creating its unique future historic character that we enjoy presently in 2057
