The story of Uptown Phoenix
How the area came to be.
Phoenix's first suburban shopping center, Uptown Plaza, opened at the northeast corner of Central Ave and Camelback Rd in 1955 (Del Webb), followed by Park Central to the south in 1956. Del Webb's Phoenix Towers (1957) and the 1960s growth of the Central Ave high-rise corridor made midtown and uptown the Valley's social center.
The Phoenix Indian School (1891 to 1990) at Central and Indian School became Steele Indian School Park, opened in 2001. The City's ReinventPHX transit-oriented plans for Uptown and two other districts were unveiled in April 2014, and the Urban Land Institute's Arizona council ranked Central and Camelback the Valley's hottest intersection in 2017.
