Big changes have been happening at Park Central, the site of a former shopping center located on Central Avenue right in the heart of Phoenix. I posted about the changes back in 2020 when I first noticed them here and here. Now even more changes can be seen. In fact, so many new buildings have gone up, you can't see the heart of the center from the street any longer.
The first big change came in the form of Creighton University opening a school for medical sciences.
St. Ignatius of Loyola and the World stands guard outside the main building.
The entire former shopping center has become a haven for all kinds of businesses and schools related to health care.
I spotted signs for two other learning facilities. The University of Jamestown has one building and Smith Chason school of nursing has another.
That's strange... the same thing is happening here... and not everyone is happy.
ReplyDeleteRetail is changing, shopping centers are empty, it is good to see some of them re-purposed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a big change from a shopping centre.
ReplyDeleteQuite a different use.
ReplyDeleteWho would have guessed but at least the buildings provide for new services.
ReplyDeleteRetails are struggling because of thriving internet sales.
ReplyDeleteCreighton in Phoenix? That's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThe University of Jamestown was Jamestown College when I attended it. I am sorry to see it destroying a fine legacy at Park Central.
