When legendary developer Del Webb built Uptown Plaza in 1955, he created a “downtown shopping experience” in the central city.
With restaurants such as the swanky Navarre’s and retailers such Jerand’s of Arizona fashions and Piggly Wiggly grocery store, the center, which had a modern look, was a draw for diners and shoppers alike.
Sixty years later, Walter Crutchfield and Vintage Partners are recreating that city-center experience by redeveloping the 120,000-square-foot shopping center, which is on the northeast corner of Camelback Road and Central Avenue.
