Scottsdale-based Globe Corp. has taken another step in turning a 150-acre vacant site into Goodyear's new city center and downtown area with a mix of residential and commercial uses.

Last year, the city opened the doors for its new civic center and library, while Globe Corp. completed construction on a new class A office building called GEN 1 and parking garage north of McDowell Road between Bullard Avenue and Pebble Creek Parkway.

Globe Corp. partnered with the city on the project known as Goodyear at GSQ, and is working on developing a similar office building to match the first office tower, which has landed several leases including a bank, a residential firm and more.
