Chandler

Chandler is strategically located in one of the fastest-growing urban centers in the nation. The city’s progressive, responsive, pro-business character makes it one of the most desirable cities in which to live and do business.

The transformation also includes the revitalization of Historic Downtown Chandler. The west side of the square is brimming with new businesses, shops and restaurants. Just south is Market Square—with its historic cottage-like shops nestled around a country courtyard—where improvements are also being made including a facade loan program that is helping bring a new look to a unique area.

The downtown storefronts have been restored to a modern version of their original turn-of-the-century look, and the plaza has been redesigned and named after the city's founder. The Center for the Arts, new parks, restaurants and retail centers mark an exciting future for the city. Family festivals such as the Ostrich Festival and a host of other annual events make Chandler a popular draw for travelers from all across the country, and the citizens of Chandler enjoy a quality of life unsurpassed in the Valley today.

A multitude of other improvements and new developments are also under way, including the new Chandler Fashion Center Mall. Intel has built a second $2 billion fabrication plant, Charles Schwab has opened a new headquarters building, and other companies such as Wells Fargo are looking to do the same.

In recent years, Chandler’s borders have been expanded and the population has boomed—from 30,000 in 1980 to more than 183,000 today. The economic base of Chandler has been diversified. While agriculture is still somewhat of a vital element, Chandler now enjoys a strong manufacturing and electronics sector.
