About the Phoenix Financial Center
The Phoenix Financial Center is a complex on Central Avenue, in Phoenix's Midtown district, made up of one high-rise office building plus two neighboring rotunda buildings. The Financial Corporation of Arizona built it in 1963; ground was broken that September, and it was dedicated on September 28, 1964. Wenceslaus Sarmiento was the architect, and the complex is a case of International style architecture with many Googie elements.
The tower faces Osborn Avenue, and locals commonly call it the "Punchcard Building" because its southeastern facade resembles a computer punch card. It started with 10 stories, and nine more were added in 1972, when the building became the headquarters of Western Savings and Loan. The plans allowed for a second tower, a twin of the first, planned for the property's north side, but it was never built.
The two rotundas face Central Avenue and mirror each other. Each has two stories and a basement, with glass around most of its circumference and a stained glass star atop the dome (the two stars differ slightly). The 2000 movie What Planet Are You From?, directed by Mike Nichols, filmed at the complex, which appears as the workplace of the main character.
