Amenities For Everyone

Phoenix recognizes that to make an area alluring it has to have affordable to luxury housing options, transportation networks, lodging and entertainment for staff, out-of-town patients and their families. Here are just a few key initiatives that will create an appealing and comfortable environment.

*

  • Various efforts are underway to foster community, connectivity and integrated civic spaces downtown. Streetscape and landscape designs planned for downtown focus on enhancing pedestrian activity and movement through increased usage of shaded pedestrian pathways and urban trails.
  • There are currently 1,900 hotel rooms with an additional 1,500 rooms planned in the next five years. In addition there are 4,500 housing units being built with an additional 10,000 housing units planned in the next ten years.
  • The Light Rail line that is expected to be completed in 2008, will only be a few blocks from the PBC. This mode of transportation will not only connect staff to your facility but also directly to the research being conducted on the Tempe Campus of ASU, including the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University.
  • In addition, your employees and visitors will be able to easily get around Copper Square , 90-square blocks surrounding the PBC. Five days a week, employees and others can park once and let the Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) take them anywhere free of charge to places including the ballpark, Collier Center and several area restaurants. This will provide your staff and visitors with alternative transportation options to nearby amenities.
  • Planned retail development of 400,000 SF that will provide shopping conveniences to your visitors making them more comfortable. Arizona Center , at the doorstep of the PBC across 5 th Street , is now under new ownership and will be key to the city’s downtown retail strategy.
  • More than 20 arts, cultural and entertainment entities, including the Orpheum and Dodge theaters and the Science Museum will provide options to many activities that fit a variety of lifestyles contributing to overall wellness.
