Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona, as well as the sixth-largest city in the nation.
With more than 1.2 million residents, the city of Phoenix serves as the state's capital and economic center. It is considered to be the hub of the rapidly expanding Southwest, and acts as the epicenter of a metropolitan area with an estimated population of 2.8 million residents. Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, and only a short walk from many downtown attractions such as Bank One Ballpark, America West Arena, Phoenix Civic Plaza and Convention Center, Symphony Hall and the Arizona Science Center, Collier Center's central location makes it a focal point for downtown Phoenix activity. Access to and from Collier Center is easy and convenient. In addition, Sky Harbor International Airport is located just five minutes east of the project.
