Technology Abounds

Most people outside of Arizona have never heard of SkySong, but they may have seen it: the SkySong shade structure has become a well-known icon of Arizona in just a few years. Construction began in 2006 and took two years for the first two office buildings to be completed. Its goal is to attract state-of-the-art companies from around the globe to combine with the resources ASU has to offer. With the first two office buildings filled, the third building is under construction and plans for the fourth are underway. The 325-unit luxury apartment building guarantees its residents a short commute.  

Great Rates All Year Long
