Parallel Signs Four New Leases at Phoenix's One North Central.
- San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) July 25, 2017 - Parallel Capital Partners, Inc. announced today it has signed four new leases at One North Central – a 20-story office tower in downtown Phoenix – including one for nearly 150,000 square feet that will house the Arizona offices of Quicken Loans. The Detroit- based lending giant will occupy six floors at One North Central and embark on a major renovation of the space.
According to Matt Root, CEO of Parallel Capital Partners, a San Diego-based real estate investment firm, with these latest transactions One North Central is now more than 93 percent leased. Joining Quicken in the Class A office building at One North Central Ave. will be Live Nation, the Beverly Hills-based events and entertainment company, and Coleman & Finch, a new gastropub concept on the corner of Washington and 1st Street. Additionally, Urban Eye Care has leased 1,528 square feet for 121 months to introduce downtown Phoenix’s first full-service optical center.
“We are thrilled with these latest additions to the tenant mix at the property,” said Root. “Quicken Loans will bring 1,100 jobs to the heart of the city. Add to that the other new tenants, and we are approaching the fully leased mark – a good indicator about the tempo of the Phoenix market.”
