Arbor Old Town is a luxury office campus at Scottsdale and Indian School roads in Old Town Scottsdale, redeveloped by George Oliver with Ascentris.
It covers about 360,000 square feet in three buildings on six acres at 4141 and 4167 N Scottsdale Rd and 7272 E Indian School Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251. It is office space for lease, not a restaurant, hotel or apartment building.
The draw is the hotel-style amenity package: a garden courtyard with a stage and fireplaces, a lobby café and cocktail bar, a Winnebago bar, a wellness suite with sauna and cold plunge, a golf simulator and a 160-person training room. The first tenant announced is Symmetry Software, which is moving its headquarters there. Leasing is handled by JLL.
If you have driven Scottsdale Road past Indian School lately, you have seen the construction fencing and the new look going up on the office buildings at the corner. That is Arbor Old Town. For decades these were plain office buildings that most of us drove past on the way to the Waterfront or Fashion Square. Now they are being turned into what the developer calls the first hospitality-driven office campus in Old Town. This guide covers what Arbor Old Town is, who owns it, what is inside, who has signed leases, how to lease space and what is happening at the site, and it gets updated as each piece opens.
What Arbor Old Town is
Arbor Old Town is a redevelopment of three existing office buildings into one connected office campus. Nothing was torn down. The buildings were gutted and rebuilt inside, given new entries and tied together around a central garden courtyard.
Phoenix developer George Oliver bought the site with Denver-based investment firm Ascentris in two deals. The Arbor name comes from George Oliver’s first project with this concept, Arbor in downtown Tempe, which opened in 2022. The same idea carries over to Scottsdale: natural materials, earthy colors, lots of plants and indoor and outdoor space that blend together, with amenities that feel closer to a resort than a typical office lobby.
Three things make it different from most Old Town office space:
- Size. At about 360,000 square feet, it is the largest renovation George Oliver has taken on, according to the Phoenix Business Journal.
- Amenities built for daily use. A bar, a café, a spa-style wellness suite, a golf simulator and a courtyard with a stage, all on site for tenants.
- Location. It sits at one of the main corners in Old Town, within walking distance of restaurants, the canal and the arts district.
It means the building is run more like a hotel than a landlord-and-tenant office. There is an on-site concierge, food and drinks in the building, event space, wellness rooms and planned events for the people who work there. The idea is to give companies a reason to bring staff back to the office instead of working from home.
Where Arbor Old Town is
Arbor Old Town is at the corner of Scottsdale Road and Indian School Road, in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale. The three buildings use these addresses:
| Building | Size | Purchase | Role in the campus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4141 N Scottsdale Rd | About 162,227 sq ft | About $26.05 million, mid-2024 | Main office building, renovated first |
| 7272 E Indian School Rd | About 165,220 sq ft | $42.25 million, announced January 2025 | Second office building and home of the spec suites |
| 4167 N Scottsdale Rd | The smallest building | Bought with 4141 in mid-2024 | Earmarked for later redevelopment for a retail tenant |
Sizes and prices are from the developer’s announcements and reporting by the Phoenix Business Journal, AZ Big Media and Connect CRE. The developer’s marketing describes building sizes from about 15,013 to 174,415 square feet.

What is nearby, using rough distances from the corner:
| Place | About how far | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Scottsdale Waterfront and the Arizona Canal | Under half a mile north | Canal path for a lunchtime walk, plus restaurants on the water |
| Old Town Main Street and the Arts District | About half a mile south | Galleries, the Thursday night ArtWalk and client lunches |
| Scottsdale Fashion Square | About a mile north, at Camelback | Shopping and dining, including Din Tai Fung |
| Scottsdale Stadium | Under a mile south | Giants Spring Training every February and March |
| Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) | About 4 miles east on Indian School | Freeway access for staff coming from Mesa, Gilbert and North Scottsdale |
| Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport | About 10 miles southwest | Roughly 20 to 25 minutes outside rush hour |
Arbor Old Town amenities
The amenity list is the main reason people search for Arbor Old Town. Here is everything the developer has announced, grouped by what it is for:
| Type | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Food and drinks | The Botanist at Arbor, a lobby café and cocktail bar. The Sprig, a retrofitted Winnebago café and bar parked in the garden, serving food, coffee and cocktails |
| Outdoor space | The Garden, a landscaped central courtyard with walking paths, lounge areas, fireplaces, a built-in stage and hanging daybeds. Plus an outdoor event patio and a dog patio |
| Wellness | Wellness suite, fitness studio, spa-style locker rooms, sauna, cold plunge, yoga room, meditation room and a mothers’ room |
| Meetings and events | 4-person and 12-person meeting rooms, a 30-person boardroom, 50-person and 160-person training rooms, a podcast studio and breakout areas |
| Games | Billiard room, digital darts and a Trackman golf simulator |
| Service | On-site concierge for event planning, workplace help and tenant events |
| Getting there | On-site parking with EV charging, plus a public parking garage across the street |
Amenities are from arboroldtown.com and George Oliver’s July 2025 announcement. A cafe and cocktail bar amenity was reported as scheduled to open in November 2026.
Anyone who has worked in Old Town knows the problem: you leave the office for anything, you are back in your car or walking a hot parking lot. A shaded garden with fireplaces and daybeds sounds like a sales line until you remember that from October through April, Old Town weather is about as good as office weather gets anywhere. Ask the leasing team how the garden is shaded and misted for May through September before you sign on the strength of it.
Is Arbor Old Town open to the public?
Arbor Old Town is a private office campus. The bar, café, wellness suite and courtyard are described as amenities for tenants and their guests. As of November 13, 2026, the developer has not announced public hours, a public menu or open-to-the-public events for The Botanist or The Sprig.
The one part that could become public-facing later is the third building at 4167 N Scottsdale Rd, which the developer told the East Valley Tribune’s Progress is earmarked for a future retail tenant. If a restaurant or shop is named for that space, it will be added here.
The Botanist at Arbor is the lobby café and bar inside Arbor Old Town. It is not connected to The Botanist plant and home decor shop at 13610 N Scottsdale Rd, near Thunderbird Road. If you are looking for houseplants or pottery, that is the one you want, about 7 miles north.
Who has signed leases at Arbor Old Town
George Oliver announced its first leases on March 30, 2026: almost 48,000 square feet across two tenants.
Symmetry is moving its headquarters to Arbor Old Town, into about 32,500 square feet according to AZBEX. CEO Elizabeth Oviedo said the new headquarters is “the next evolution” of the company’s vision for its team and culture in Scottsdale.
The second tenant had not been named publicly as of November 13, 2026. Both tenants were expected to move in during the second half of 2026.
Leasing office space at Arbor Old Town
Arbor Old Town works for two kinds of companies: those that need a full floor or more, and smaller firms that want a finished suite they can move into without a long build-out.
- Spec suites. George Oliver is building 17 move-in-ready suites from about 1,602 to 10,146 square feet, most of them at 7272 E Indian School Rd. The first were expected in May 2026.
- Full floors and headquarters space. The two big buildings are each over 160,000 square feet, so a company can take a large block, as Symmetry did.
- Asking rent. A CommercialCafe listing for the campus showed an asking rate of $40.00 per square foot per year. Treat that as a starting point, since rates depend on the suite, term and improvements.

Arbor Old Town vs Arbor Tempe
People searching “Arbor” in the Valley often mix up the two. They come from the same developer and share a design approach, but they are different buildings in different cities:
| Arbor Old Town | Arbor (Tempe) | |
|---|---|---|
| City | Old Town Scottsdale | Downtown Tempe |
| Opened | Targeted for 2026 | 2022 |
| Scale | About 360,000 sq ft in 3 buildings | The first Arbor building |

George Oliver’s other Valley office redevelopments include Bond on the Camelback Corridor, CASA in Uptown Phoenix, and The Alexander and The Johnathan in downtown Chandler.

Why Arbor Old Town matters for Old Town Scottsdale
Old Town has been adding apartments, hotels and restaurants for years, but office space has not kept up. Most of the area’s office stock is older buildings like these were. Arbor Old Town is a bet that companies will pay for updated, amenity-heavy space if it puts their people a short walk from the best restaurants and bars in the Valley.
It also means a few thousand more people working at Scottsdale and Indian School on weekdays. For the restaurants, coffee shops and service businesses within walking distance, that is a steady lunch and happy hour crowd that does not depend on tourist season. If you run one of those businesses, now is the time to make sure people can find you.
