Arizona Center's 'ghost mall' quips

Arizona Center is an urban shopping and office complex in downtown Phoenix that opened in 1988 and has experienced periods of high vacancy and quiet courtyards. Because of its varying occupancy and intermittent retail turnover, locals and local media have sometimes jokingly described the complex as a 'ghost mall' in commentary. The characterization reflects local humor and media discussion rather than an official designation. The site's address and history are part of public urban-development records and reporting.
