Tech and ASU in Scottsdale
S. Scottsdale is no stranger to attracting new companies and joining up with higher ed. Déjà vu the entry of Motorola and other aerospace companies that spurred Scottsdale’s explosive growth in the 50’s and 60’s.
And, the early vision to turn ASU into a University was genius. Corralling ASU’s intel goods with talent and experience? A no-brainer then and now.
Everything old is newer, bigger and better in Scottsdale. SkySong sits on the ancestral site of Los Arcos Mall. Scraping away remnants of our early boom is rampant. Out with the old, pronto.
SkySong Scottsdale Attributes
Prime Location for All Things Work, Life, and Play
SkySong is made for diverse firms to share resources. And, a symbiosis to launch, grow and compete. Its central location attracts workforce talent for success.
From the mothership, the close spokes of ASU, Sky Harbor Airport, freeways AND the really big draw: Tempe’s and Scottsdale’s new luxury high-rise living, shopping, and dining scenes beckon. Lots of places to play are here too, with a cooler season climate that’s hard to beat for fun.
Scalable Space
The landmark icon flaunts an eye-catching white-peaked sculpture. Anchored by guy wires suspended between the campus buildings, it shades outdoor gathering spaces.
Seating, walkways, art, water features and bike paths — the lush oasis affords an open-air respite for great minds to refresh. A 42-acre mixed-use plat, SkySong buildings 1-5 occupy 1.2 million square feet.
