Major Project at the Confluence of Tempe, Scottsdale and Mesa

by Mike Hunter

With delivery on track for next month, Union Building One is the first of four four-story to eight-story Class A office buildings planned at the confluence of Tempe, Scottsdale and Mesa. When complete, the project will bring a new, 1.35 million-square-foot corporate hub to the heart of Mesa Riverview.

Union Building One will total 238,348 square feet in four stories, with an adjacent four-level parking structure that, with some surface parking, provides tenants a 6/1,000 parking ratio. Like all of the buildings at Union, Building One will deliver a creative office environment with a modern glass exterior, an active first floor, large office floorplates with high ceilings, outdoor balconies and 10-foot vision glass providing sweeping views of the surrounding city, mountains and adjacent Riverview Park and Lake. In fact, the building will connect to a larger built environment that is packed with indoor-outdoor areas enhanced with water features.

Adding to the creative office vision, Union will be peppered with custom artwork ranging from commissioned wooden furniture and lighted glass art in the lobby to parking deck stair towers painted by local artisans.

Building One’s many indoor-outdoor amenities will be linked by the Rio Salado Pathway to encourage connectivity with the Union campus and with Mesa’s mixed-use Riverview district, which offers 1.2 million square feet of retail, restaurants and hotels.

“We have a clear vision for Union, and our development team has worked hard to keep that vision on track during a very unique time,” says David Krumwiede, executive VP of Lincoln Property Company, which is working with Harvard Investments on the project. “Revised protocols and strategic additions to our amenity package – such as touchless features and ionizing air purifiers – will ensure that Union is even more creative and relevant in a ‘new normal’ work environment.”

Building One is located on the northeast corner of the Union project, a 28.2-acre site offering direct frontage to the Loop 202 and monument signage seen by approximately 160,000 cars per day. It is accessible by two freeway interchanges, at the Loop 202 at Dobson Road and the Loop 101 at Rio Salado Parkway.
