About the Project
Avant recently completed construction on Emerald Station, the inaugural phase of the Phoenix Arts & Innovation District, a visionary development in North Springfield. Emerald Station features 36,000 square feet of coworking, office, and event space. Future of Cities, the client and visionary behind the Phoenix Arts & Innovation District, aims to foster community engagement by offering studio spaces to local artists and creating gathering spaces for residents. Supported by a $7 million loan from Local Initiatives Support Corp., the development embodies a holistic approach to urban regeneration, prioritizing environmental, social, and governance strategies.
Unique Elements
Emerald Station marks a transformative step in the Phoenix Arts & Innovation District, blending adaptive reuse with forward-thinking design. This project required a delicate balance between preserving the building’s original character and meeting the needs of a modern coworking, office, and event venue with a focus on community engagement, which reinforces the district’s mission to support both innovation and artistic expression.
