Downtown Phoenix’s original entertainment destination, the newly rehabbed Arizona Center spans one million square feet, occupying 16-acres at the intersection of 3rd Street and Van Buren. Parallel Capital Partners acquired the property in 2015 and immediately embarked on a $25 million makeover.
According to Root, more recent upgrades to the multi-use center include the installation of state-of-the-art Plasma Air bipolar ionization air filtration systems, designed to proactively attack pathogens via positively and negatively charged oxygen ions – significantly improving air quality. Improvements to Arizona Center have also included opening up the property to surrounding streets – creating a more integrated downtown experience – new modern colors, outdoor furnishings and lounge areas, modern shade structures, new landscape and water features, additional lighting and illuminated signage.
