PHOENIX — The Arizona Center’s $25 million renovation is complete, and work on a new hotel will soon be underway, the downtown Phoenix retail and office development announced Tuesday.
The project, which began in early 2017, focused on modernizing the complex with new features such as creative office spaces, outdoor work stations and a 60-foot LED jumbotron.
The aim was to make the center, located at Third and Van Buren streets, more welcoming and walkable.
“We are thrilled to debut the newly renovated Arizona Center,” Matt Root, managing partner for Parallel Capital Partners, the owner and manager of the center, said in a press release. “The upgrades to the center bring a whole new vibe to the heart of downtown Phoenix.”
