Park Central Mall opened in 1957, and quickly became the center of activity along Central Avenue, thanks to its proximity to ... some of Phoenix’s best neighborhoods and easy access from Central Avenue, Thomas Road, and Indian School Road. The location made mass transit a viable option for visitors as well. Park Central has exceptional “bones.” Its mid-century-modern initial design thoughtfully incorporated a number of elements that make it an ideal target for revitalization. The new Park Central will return the existing buildings to their mid-century-modern roots while incorporating some exceptional new design features designed to make the project feel innovative, high-tech, and creative. 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. 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. read more
