Collier Center, uniquely set in downtown Phoenix, is a mixed-use project comprised of Class A office;specialty restaurants and retail;and a three-level, below-grade parking garage. The 23-story tower prominently displays a siganture copper monitor at the rooftop. A variety of building materials make up the construction of the facility, including sandstone and copper accents, colored concrete and blue and green glass. The tower has two lobbies, both of which are surfaced in a stone-slabbed material witha pattern of limestone and granite. A carpeted seating area in each lobby invites guests to sit down and enjoy the beautifully finished interior.
BOMA International Study Finds Office Building Operations Key Economic Driver
In June, BOMA International released a new report, The Contribution of Office Building Operating Outlays on the U.S. and States’ Economies in 2009, which details the impact of commercial office on the national and local economies. The study provides a powerful snapshot of our industry’s contribution to the economy, the jobs it supports and the subsequent earnings it generates. In 2009, the five billion square feet quantified in this report generated $40 billion in annual expenditures, which contributed a total of $118.4 billion to the U.S. economy. It generated a total of $37.6 billion in new earnings and supported a total of 994,728 jobs within the 91 office market areas presented in the report and their respective state economies. This is in addition to the more than one million jobs supported directly as a result of these outlays for office building operations.
