Carlyle Development Group Unveils New Mall Entrance Designs and Mixed-Use Leasing Strategy at Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix, AZ



 PHOENIX, AZ— Metrocenter mall (top left photo) owner Carlyle Development Group (CDG) has unveiled new mall entrance designs and an innovative leasing and redevelopment plan that will transform the 1.3 million-square-foot Phoenix retail landmark into a multi-faceted, mixed-use environment for shopping, dining and entertainment.

CDG presented its plans last week at an on-site industry event—the first of its kind since CDG purchased the mall, which is located on Interstate 17 between Peoria and Dunlap roads in Phoenix.

Event attendees included top Phoenix commercial real estate brokers, Phoenix Police Commander Benny Piña (middle right photo) and Phoenix Councilwoman Thelda Williams. It also included Phoenix-based Butler Design Group (BDG), the architect of the new mall entrances.

“This was an opportunity to share our vision and strengthen the industry connections that will revitalize Metrocenter,” said Carlyle Development’s Chief Operating Officer Warren Fink (lower left photo) 

“It is a turning point—the next step in our promise to make Metrocenter a fun, safe atmosphere where customers and tenants will thrive. Having the support of the Phoenix brokerage community, Phoenix Police and City Council is a welcome part of that process.”

I move to the Metro Center area in Aug 2011. Purchased a house about 6 blocks N. of Peoria Avenue on 30th Avenue. I'm married with 4 kids, 6yrs - 17yrs. This is the most community involved neighborhood I've ever been in. Most people in this neighborhood are very friendly, concerned and intelligent. I'm proud to live in this area, and very excited about the plans you have for Metro Center Mall. We as a community would love to have more information via mail with the plans you have for Metro Center. My family and I go the restaurants surrounding Metro Center quite often, and have seen a sign posted about new things coming. But it's very vague, it should have a link to a website that will give us all the information and status of what's going on with the mall.

Best.
