The Grand at Papago Park Center

Phoenix / Arizona / USA

Spanning 60 acres, The Grand at Papago Park Center represents the final major development within Papago Park Center. Conceived as a legacy project, it not only addresses contemporary market demands but also completes Papago Park Center with a development poised to be recognized as a premier mixed-use destination throughout the western United States.

The master plan features the strategic relocation of the Grand Canal, transforming it into a central, iconic amenity. This reimagined canal will be a visual focal point, easily visible from major street entries and all parcels within the development. North of the relocated canal, the plan envisions a blend of uses that harmonize with the existing developments to the north, west, and east, creating a transitional bridge to the more intense development planned along the Loop 202 freeway to the south. The design also incorporates water features that leverage the canal’s presence, offering interpretive elements to educate visitors about Arizona’s rich history and the Salt River Project.

With two light-rail stops, freeway proximity, and extensive bicycle and pedestrian connections, the design ensures that residents can seamlessly live, work, and play within this vibrant and diverse community.
