In collaboration with Will Bruder Architects, PALMtower is designed to be a distinctive addition to Phoenix’s urban skyline. This 352-unit residential tower transforms the entry sequence into the Arizona Center, making it the heart of the evolving neighborhood with private gardens and a dog park accessed from the elevator core.
Rising from its site on the northwest corner of East Van Buren and North 5th streets, the 28-story tower floats above a sculptural silver-clad parking podium, grounded by majestic palm trees and lush desert landscaping. The ground level includes an 18-ft. tall light-filled "great room" lobby with business hoteling and social programming along North 5th Street.

Commissioning is a critical piece in ensuring buildings perform as design. Given the extensive glazing on the project, the enclosure was reviewed and tested thoroughly, beginning in early design, to verify the team executed a tight enclosure. Optimizing the enclosure supports energy efficiency post-occupancy.
