Behind a paywall and my paywall is on my personal laptop...news about Chase's move (assuming from Downtown Phoenix) to it's new campus at the Discovery Biz Center. They renovated some of the older buildings from the Microchip plant. They hint at future phases for expansion but not sure if that will result in midrises like the Wells Fargo campus in Chandler? Plenty of land for redevelopment. The rehab pictures look nice.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is acclimating to its new digs in Tempe, with the banking firm having recently moved about 2,000 employees to what will be its new corporate campus.
Named the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Tempe South Corporate Center, the campus has been in the works since 2017. So far, the New York-based bank has moved into two of the four buildings that it acquired in the 2100 block of East Elliott Road. The four-building campus has some 800,000 square feet of space.
Chase (NYSE: JPM) began moving employees to the campus in December and completed the moves in February. Local officials said it was important to keep the bank's presence in the Valley strong and growing.
“We’ve been a part of this community through our predecessor banks for more than 100 years and operations in metro Phoenix are a priority for JPMorgan Chase,” said Mike Cunningham, Chase’s managing director for fraud operations. “As the home to about 2,000 employees, this new campus allows us to continue to enhance the facilities we provide to our teams. This in turn allows our employees to come together in expertly-designed spaces to collaborate, problem solve and provide outstanding service to our customers.”
Many of those jobs are shifting from downtown Phoenix, where Chase was the main tenant in a namesake building on Central Avenue that dominates the city skyline. Employees at the campus are part of the bank's consumer and community banking operations and responsible for merchant services and consumer issues as well as fraud detection and collections
But following a recent trend to create more "livability" in business-oriented campuses, Chase has developed its Tempe project with a host of new employee-focused features that include cafes, a 24-hour market, bike and walking paths, a health center and other amenities.
“We’re one of the Valley’s largest employers, and it was important for us to create a vibrant work environment that our employees need and deserve,” said Izma Miller, Chase's vice president and regional real estate manager for global real estate administration. “Through the modernization of our offices, we're creating a space that leads to healthier, happier and more productive employees. We’re also advancing our global sustainability efforts with onsite solar arrays that will offset 30 percent of our power needs.”
The campus also aims for sustainability, with a 3.6 megawatt solar system the company estimates will offset about 30 percent of its power when it becomes operational later this year. It's part of Chase's effort to get 100 percent of its power from renewable energy by 2020.
Chase's downtown Phoenix tower, where it had leased space, was sold last year for $78.8 million.
