City Square was designed by the architectural firm, Flatow, Moore, Bryan, and Fairburn. The tower was constructed in 1962. 3800 Tower is 194,482 square feet.
The past couple decades have seen a lot of activity around the City Square development. In 1996, the Singapore government went into escrow for the purchase of City Square. Before this the office complex was owned by “Phoenix City Square Partnership". At the time the Phoenix metropolitan area was experiencing drastic increases in commercial tenancy rates.
Phoenix City Square is on Central Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. The Metro Light Rail track runs down this portion of Central Avenue.
In 2006, The Arizona Department of Economic Security signed a lease at City Square for a near 6-year tenancy. The deal was worth around $9.5 million and included approximately 100,000 square feet of office space.
3800 is the smallest of the office towers in City Square, coming in under 200,000 square feet. Originally designed in the International Style, 3800 was updated in the early 1990s with cleaner lines, more architectural detail and given a pyramid crown. It contains an attached day care, and it is located directly on Central Avenue. 3800 Tower has a variety of businesses, such as Just Mortgage Inc., The Valley Forward Association, Law Offices of Michael Cordova, PMA Consultants, Black, Gould & Associates, Inc. and Maricopa County Legal Advocate.
