Novus Innovation Corridor is a multi-phase, 350-acre development strategically positioned along Tempe Town Lake on the ASU campus, in the geographic heart of Greater Phoenix.
Upon completion, Novus will integrate more than 10 million square feet of urban office, retail and residential development with new and renovated collegiate athletic venues.
The development is a public/private partnership between Arizona State University (ASU) and master developer Catellus Development Corporation, and is expected to bring approximately 20,000 new jobs and 5,000 new residents to the downtown Tempe area.
Arizona State University is the largest public research university in the United States under a single administration, with a total student enrollment of more than 82,000. Located in metropolitan Phoenix, the nation’s sixth-largest city, ASU is creating a new model for American higher education, an unprecedented combination of academic excellence, entrepreneurial energy, and broad access. This New American University is a single, unified institution comprising four differentiated campuses positively impacting the economic, social, cultural and environmental health of the communities it serves. Its research is inspired by real-world application, blurring the boundaries that traditionally separate academic disciplines. ASU champions intellectual and “cultural diversity” and welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 120 nations.
Catellus is a national leader in mixed-use development, solving some of America’s most complex land challenges. With nearly 30 years of experience as a master developer, Catellus has transformed former airports, military bases and urban industrial sites into thriving retail, residential and commercial communities. These projects, which often include substantial public amenities, add economic, social and environmental value to the communities they serve. Catellus has both the financial strength and the development expertise to turn vision into reality at even the most demanding development sites. For more information, visit www.catellus.com.
