PHOENIX- American Express, already one of this city’s largest employers, has identified an area in north Phoenix to build a campus that could have up to 1 million sf of office space.

The New York-based financial services giant has identified 90 acres in the master-planned community of Desert Ridge for the new facility. The company plans to bid on the state-owned land in November.

The first phase of construction calls for three office buildings totaling 460,000 sf.

The company employs more than 9,000 residents in metropolitan Phoenix.
