US Airways Group Inc. is expanding its Tempe corporate headquarters and has retained Dallas real estate firm The Staubach Co., to help with those expansion plans and new planned development.

US Airways (NYSE: LCC) is currently based in downtown Tempe, where it occupies a 216,000-square-foot office building. The airline plans on adding office space as well as retail and other uses to that Tempe parcel. The expansion could also include restaurants, a hotel, conference center and condominiums.

Staubach will help the Arizona-based airline find development partners in that expansion, the companies said Thursday.

The US Airways headquarters site is located at Mill Avenue and Rio Salado Parkway in downtown Tempe, is one of the region's prime pieces of real estate. It will be located on the Valley Metro light rail line

Staubach is one of the top real estate firms in the U.S. Its founder is former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach.

Steve Corney, managing principal of Staubach's Arizona divisions, will coordinate US Airways development efforts.

Tempe-based America West Airlines and Arlington, Va.-based US Airways merged last year. The new combined carrier is flying under the US Air banner but opted to locate its headquarters in Tempe.
