What’s New in the Valley: March 2026 Edition

Welcome back to another weekly update on everything happening across our beautiful Valley. Whether you are a long-time resident or looking to make a move to the Phoenix or Scottsdale area, there is always something fresh to discover. As we move through September 2026, the energy in our local dining and entertainment scene is palpable, and the real estate market continues to show the resilience and growth that makes this region so desirable. Let’s dive into what’s making headlines this week. ## What’s New This Week The Phoenix Warehouse District is buzzing with anticipation as we head into the fall season. Kell Duncan, the visionary behind the beloved Churchill food hall, has officially announced his latest project in the heart of the district. He is set to open a dual-concept space featuring 'Otra Pizzeria' on the ground floor and a new bar called 'Better Days' on the upper level. This historic building renovation is expected to be a major anchor for the area when it opens its doors in late fall or early winter. Meanwhile, in North Phoenix, the community continues to see steady growth in amenities. Recent months have brought new life to the Happy Valley corridor, including the opening of the new Harkins Theatres location, which has quickly become a go-to spot for local entertainment. It is a great sign of the continued investment in our northern suburbs, providing more convenience and lifestyle perks for families and professionals alike. ## Local Spotlight of the Week This week, we are shining the spotlight on a true North Scottsdale gem: 'Tell Your Friends.' If you haven't experienced this subterranean hideaway yet, you are missing out on one of the most atmospheric spots in the Valley. Tucked away with a 1920s-inspired design, this speakeasy-style lounge offers an incredible cocktail program paired with a live jazz combo that sets the perfect mood for a night out. It is the kind of place that makes you feel like you have stepped into another era. My recommendation? Don't rush the experience. Order one of their signature artful cocktails, find a comfortable corner, and enjoy the music. It is the perfect example of the sophisticated, hidden-gem culture that makes living in Scottsdale so unique. Are you looking to find your own piece of the Valley?
