highrise currently under construction inDowntown Phoenix ,Arizona . It is located adjacent to Arizona State University's Downtown campus. The building would be the first high-rise office tower to open inDowntown Phoenix in nearly eight years.History
One Central Park East originally was designed as a multi-use complex made up of the office tower with high-rise condominiums and academic space for ASU's downtown campus. The plan was modified in 2006 because of money constraints and the Valley's flagging real estate market.
The project's demise forced developers to redesign the project so they could move forward on the most-needed component, the office tower, while still leaving room on the site to develop ASU space and residential housing, should either be needed in the future.
Building Design
Once built, the building will have ground floor retail, nine floors of above ground parking and 16 floors of
Class A office space . Each floor plate will offer over convert|30000|sqft|m2 ofcolumn free space and 9' floor to ceiling widnows of articulated glass. The glass windows will be adorned with vertical and horizontal “fins” that will limit the amount of sunlight entering the building during the day while still allowing clear views. Current plans call for an artistic focal point on the building's northern facade which will highlight the main entrance.External links
