Copper Square is the 90-block core of downtown Phoenix–from 7th Street to 3rd Avenue and from Harrison to Fillmore streets. As the Valley’s employment, pro sports, arts and cultural center, Copper Square is poised to take on a new and improved look in the near future.

More than $2 billion is being invested over the next three years. A whole host of new “activity generators” will be created within Copper Square. A sample of the investments includes:

• A new urban campus for 15,000 Arizona State University undergraduate and graduate students,
• A new Phoenix campus for the University of Arizona College of Medicine–expected to create a minimum of 14,000 new jobs,
• A 1,000-room Sheraton Hotel to serve conventioneers and business travelers,
• More than 1700 new high-density residential condominiums and apartments to satisfy the increasing demand for urban living.
• A new 20-mile light rail transportation system that will service all of the above—slated for completion in 2008.

Within many of these developments is a commitment to produce high-quality shopping and entertainment venues that are active on weekdays and weekends, both day and night.

We look forward to welcoming you and your businesses to the Copper Square family.
