Renaissance Square is a large complex of two tall buildings in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. These buildings are called One Renaissance Square and Two Renaissance Square. They are both used for offices.
One Renaissance Square is about 105.77 m (347.0 ft) tall and has 26 floors. Two Renaissance Square is a bit taller at 113.39 m (372.0 ft) and has 28 floors. Even though they are part of the same complex, they were built a few years apart. Tower 1 was finished in 1986, and Tower 2 was finished in 1990.
These two towers are connected by a special walkway high up in the air. This walkway is called a skyway. It lets people move between the buildings without going down to the street.
History of Renaissance Square
Renaissance Square was first built by a company called Trammell Crow Company. They are known for developing many buildings.
Changes in Ownership
Over the years, Renaissance Square has been bought and sold by different companies. In 2005, it was sold to the Pauls Corporation. Later, in 2007, the Pauls Corporation sold it again. This was one of the biggest sales of a commercial building in Phoenix that year.
In 2016, two companies, Oaktree Capital Management and Cypress Office Properties, bought the towers. After they bought the buildings, they spent a lot of money to make them look new and modern. In late 2017, over US$50 million was spent on these updates.
