凤凰城的11.8亿平方英尺中央车站地铁公交开发项目包括两座塔，一个用于学生住房，第二座用于多户公寓的塔；70,000平方英尺的办公空间；30,000平方英尺的零售重点是食品概念；还有一个427个空间车库。
设计ed by the Phoenix studio of Gould Evans, with Layton Construction as general contractor, the sustainable campus community is scheduled to open in 2024.

“The development will seamlessly merge with the Central Station Metro Transit, the city’s primary downtown bus and light rail transit hub, which serves two million passengers annually. It will also link to the city’s Civic Space Park in a unified public space for the vibrant heart of Phoenix,” says Steve Behrle, GMH Communities chief development officer.
这座435个单位的学生住房塔和362个单位的多户塔将采用各种大小的生活空间和智能技术。莱顿的建筑经理约翰·西里恩（John Sirrine）说，每栋建筑物都有地板容纳未来的餐厅，零售店和办公室。这两个塔将用混凝土地板，圆柱和剪切墙建造。

高度可持续的塔
The project targets sustainability and seeks to optimize the urban lifestyle.
Behrle说：“有了便利设施，便利和运输，住宅和租户就可以减少碳足迹。”他补充说，该开发项目还正在寻求FitWel认证，以表彰可持续的设计和健康。
“由于该项目位于市区的ASU校园中间，过境和公民空间，因此在地面飞机上包括阴影和大型树冠，认识到热舒适对行人的重要性。”’ associate principal and senior project manager.
Sirrine注意到后勤和建筑挑战。“我们在两侧的凤凰城地铁轻型火车上，历史悠久的圣卡洛斯酒店，第三侧的隔离设备和部分公园，第四侧繁忙的范布伦街。
“In addition, there is a lot of foot traffic around the site and a significant homeless or unsheltered population downtown, increasing the safety factor,” he says.
Because the garage covers nearly the complete 2.5-acre footprint, the construction team will have to vertically shore and drive soil nails around the perimeter to ensure stability.
The garage also facilitates livability and sustainability, says Lynch. “This project’s underground parking is unique in a car-centric city like Phoenix that frequently applies above-grade parking. Below-grade parking allows the ground plane to be connected to light rail, buses, the transit office and public amenities. It is a significant investment for the developer to recognize the importance of maintaining the ground plane for something other than cars.”
Behrle说，该开发项目还将减少52％的停车位，并纳入自行车架，园林绿化和公共场所家具，利用凤凰城的可持续性奖金点的100％。该计划授予具有可持续设计和绩效记录的项目的其他权利。新利18备用网址
In addition, Central Station will utilize optimized infrastructure for heating and cooling needs, an energy management system, energy-recovery units for outside air, LED lighting systems and low-flow plumbing fixtures.
“From an architectural standpoint, the strategic orientation of the development, well-insulated façade with air barriers, window walls with thermal breaks and high-performance glass with interior shades, all contribute to a reduction in the buildings’ heat gain from desert sun angles,” Behrle says.
Drip irrigation and low-water plantings will be installed on the fourth-floor amenity deck in the apartment tower to reduce the heat island effect. That tower also will be equipped with Energy Star appliances and low-VOC interior finishes, Behrle notes.
