The topping off of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation’s new co-headquarters marks a transformative milestone in the ongoing redevelopment of the Paradise Valley Mall, one of Phoenix’s most ambitious urban revitalization projects.
As the civil engineering partner on this development, our team at WOODPATEL has worked behind the scenes to deliver smart, sustainable infrastructure that reflects both Fender’s global legacy and the long-term vision for this dynamic, reimagined urban hub. From initial site planning and grading to the intricate coordination of utilities and drainage systems, every engineering decision has been made with purpose, precision, and an eye on the future.
But this project is about more than infrastructure—it’s about creating opportunity. It’s about revitalizing community spaces, embracing sustainability, and supporting creativity and innovation in Arizona. Fender’s new headquarters will serve not only as a functional space for its renowned design and manufacturing teams but also as a cultural and economic catalyst for the region.
A Vision Taking Shape
Set to open in fall 2025, the three-story, 77,000-square-foot facility will feature:
-
A model shop for cutting-edge guitar and amplifier design
-
A professional sound room
-
A café and collaborative gathering spaces
-
Modern meeting rooms and flexible workspaces
This highly anticipated facility will be a cornerstone of the broader Paradise Valley redevelopment, shaping the area into a destination where music, innovation, and community intersect.
