Phoenix Plaza is a mixed use office complex located in midtown Phoenix, Arizona. It was built between 1988 and 1990 at a cost of US$158 million. There is 1600000sqft of office space plus 225 hotel rooms. Phoenix Plaza has three hi-rise office buildings, a large parking garage and a hotel tower. Two distinct design concepts can be seen. The façades of Century Link Tower, the parking structure and Hilton Suites are colored in the late 1980s design trend of combining the pastel hues of “dusty rose” with turquoise. Phoenix Plaza Towers One and Two are sleek, modern, highly polished and complement the desert inspired buildings, which share their site.Century Link TowerCentury Link Tower, formerly known as the Qwest Tower, at 397ft and 25 floors, is the tallest building in Arizona outside of Downtown Phoenix, 3rd tallest building in Phoenix overall. The tower’s design is a basic square with vertical setbacks on all four sides giving each actual corner of the tower three 45-degree angled corners. Adding to the postmodern element is the addition of a single bay style window centered on each face of the tower and spanning floors 2 to 23. The crown is a hip roof, pyramid design and is colored turquoise. The Century Link Tower was completed in 1989.Hilton SuitesHilton Suites is an 11 story, 225 room all suite hotel.
