The ASU SkySong Tech Center in South Scottsdale AZ is centered in the middle of the Technology Corridor which runs north and south along the highway 101.
SkySong, the ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center, is a place where the global business community can link with technology,education, research and entrepreneurship to position Greater Phoenix and Arizona State University as global leaders in the knowledge economy.
The central plaza is combined with a signature shade structure (which is a tribute to the local Indian Tribe), SkySong is a 1.2 million-square-foot mixed-use development which is on a 42-acre
campus in South Scottsdale. A joint venture among ASU, the ASU Foundation, the City of Scottsdale and the Plaza Companies, SkySong is approx. 5 minutes drive (about 3 miles) from ASU’s research-intensive Tempe campus and Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is an easy 15 minutes away.
Jobing dot.com is located within the complex and ASU’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Group (formerly ASU Venture Catalyst), based at ASU SkySong Tech Center in South Scottsdale, was named one of the top 20 university business incubators in the world by the University Business Incubator Index.
Technologies developed by spinout companies based on technologies created by ASU researchers raised approx $68 million in external funding during the 2013 fiscal year.
When the next phases of the ASU SkySong Tech Center III & IV are completed along with the apartments there will be over 900,000 sq.ft. The expectation is to have 1.2 million sq.ft. of commercial space and 800 residential units and this should be need driven.
Because of the price of land, the location to ASU, the access to north-south freeways, and proximity to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, ASU SkySong Tech Center in South Scottsdale should continue for years to be at the center of technology development.
