Wire*— Beadle, Henry, and now, Sarmiento. Upward Projects portfolio of real estate, stacked with buildings from some of the most prolific mid century architects, will add yet another architectural unicorn to its mix with the lease of the Sarmiento-designed Phoenix Financial Center rotunda that will house their new HQ in February 2019.
The Phoenix-based restaurant hospitality company has secured the space, and will begin restoration and renovations this fall. Located on the grounds of the 1960-era Phoenix Financial Center (3443 N. Central Ave.), Upward Projects’ new 30-person HQ (with plans to expand to 50 people in the next few years) will be housed inside the northernmost rotunda.
The new HQ will allow Upward Projects, which was founded in Phoenix in 2009 and annually named to the “Inc. 5000” list as one of the nation’s fastest-growing companies, to develop and manage all aspects of their business including eight Postino WineCafé locations across Arizona, Colorado and Texas, two locations of Joyride Taco House, Windsor & Churn and Federal Pizza.
