Park Central

Park Central

The new Park Central will combine its rich mid-century-modern history with a new focus on technology, innovation and design, including all the most sought-after features in today’s office and retail market. Park Central’s original design as an outdoor regional mall provides a unique opportunity to utilize features that are attractive to today’s “new economy” office users. Large floor plates. High ceilings with a variety of fascinating exposed roof structures. Ground level indoor/outdoor work experiences. Authentic non-traditional office experiences. Exceptional design by local architect richard+bauer. A collaborative campus atmosphere. Abundant parking.

With a nod toward its past and an eye toward the future, Park Central will once again provide visitors and employees with easy access to major nearby freeways — and more importantly, two light rail stations — close proximity to some of Phoenix’s hottest neighborhoods and housing, and all the benefits of being at the heart of Phoenix’s urban core.
