The Chandler Planning Commission is serving as the city’s Design Review Board for this project. Rezoning from Planned Area Development (PAD) to Planned Commercial Office (PCO) with a PAD overlay will allow for the third and final expansion of the Wells Fargo campus that was approved in 2013. With the second phase scheduled to open this fall, Wells Fargo is getting started on the third phase. This phase is planned to include: two 9 story offices at 385,000 and 362,000 square feet each, a four story 168,000 square foot office, 5,000 single story bank branch and three 5 story parking garages that will add just over 4,000 spaces.
