SAN DIEGO—Phoenix has been an under-the-radar city that is rapidly on the rise and offers compelling opportunities for both commercial and homeowner investment, Parallel Capital Partners' CEO Matt Root tells GlobeSt.com. The San Diego-based, private, fully integrated real estate investment and operating company, which is focused on acquiring value-added and core-plus opportunities for its own account in primary and secondary markets west of the Mississippi, including Hawaii, recently signed four new leases at One North Central—a 20-story, class-A office tower in Downtown Phoenix.

One of the leases signed is for nearly 150,000 square feet that will house the Arizona offices of Quicken Loans. The Detroit- based lending giant will occupy six floors at One North Central and embark on a major renovation of the space.

According to Root, with these latest transactions, One North Central is now more than 93% leased. Joining Quicken in the building will be Live Nation, the Beverly Hills-based events and entertainment company, and Coleman & Finch, a new gastropub concept on the corner of Washington and 1st St. Additionally, Urban Eye Care has leased 1,528 square feet for 121 months to introduce Downtown Phoenix's first full-service optical center.
