Plaza Cos. has released renderings for SkySong 6, the latest office building planned in the 42-acre Arizona State University Scottsdale Innovation Center.
The sixth office building will total 340,000 square feet, and will feature 55,000-square-foot floorplates, the largest floorplates built along Scottsdale Road in the past 20 years. A spokesman for Plaza Cos. said the sixth building will cost about $54 million to build.
Butler Design Group is the architect for the project.
Plaza Cos. is the developer of SkySong 5 and 6 and is the master developer of the overall SkySong project, in partnership with Holualoa Cos., University Realty, a subsidiary of ASU’s Enterprise Partners, and the city of Scottsdale, which owns the land.
The building will feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a second-story balcony overlooking a public space outside. A new parking garage to serve the fifth and sixth office buildings in the complex will also be built as part of the SkySong 6 construction.
SkySong 5, which began construction in July 2018, is 73 percent pre-leased and will be open for tenants next month.
“We are absolutely thrilled with the SkySong 5’s success and are already looking forward to pre-leasing on SkySong 6,” Sharon Harper, president and CEO of Plaza Cos., said in a statement. “These two dynamic buildings really illustrate the vision of innovation and technology that makes SkySong so attractive to companies.”
The office leasing group led by R. Craig Coppola and Andrew Cheney of Lee & Associates are the brokers overseeing the leasing of the office space. The team is already working with potential tenants for the sixth building, and leasing the remainder of the fifth building.
Also under construction at SkySong is the Element Hotel, which is expected to open by the end of June.
When SkySong 6 is completed, the overall developed space at SkySong will exceed 1 million square feet.
“We continue to see exceptional growth at SkySong as it not only is becoming an important part of the ASU infrastructure, but an ideal home for a broad variety of innovative companies as well,” said Sethuraman Panchanathan, executive vice president of Knowledge Enterprise Development and chief research and innovation officer at ASU, in a statement.
