Sprouts Farmers Market is building a major corporate campus at CityNorth in north Phoenix near Loop 101 and 56th Street. The project will include a new headquarters, a flagship grocery store, and surrounding housing and hospitality to anchor the growing live-work-play district.
According to The Arizona Republic, Sprouts plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to CityNorth in 2026 and open a flagship Sprouts store on the same campus. The Republic reports that restaurant bays and apartments around the site are already under construction, giving the future HQ an instant neighborhood.
What Sprouts Is Building
Developer and contractor filings show the campus will span roughly 180,000 square feet across seven acres. The centerpiece is set to be a four-story headquarters office of about 144,500 square feet, paired with a 25,000-square-foot Sprouts flagship store. Plans also include around 11,000 square feet of upscale retail and restaurant space plus a three-level parking garage, according to construction reporting from REBusinessOnline.
Hotel And Apartments Are Already Underway
Next door to the Sprouts campus, shovels are already in the ground for an eight-story, 240-room dual-branded AC Hotel by Marriott and Element by Westin, with an opening targeted for early 2027. The project will bring flexible meeting space, a saline pool, outdoor gathering areas and EV chargers aimed at both business travelers and weekend visitors, according to a release on PR Newswire.
Jobs, Timeline And Local Impact
City partners say CityNorth is being designed to weave jobs, housing and retail into a single district rather than scatter them across the city. The Arizona Commerce Authority notes that Republic Services has already committed to a roughly 240,000-square-foot campus at CityNorth, helping anchor the area for major employers.
Sprouts has said it expects to move from its current High Street offices into the new CityNorth campus by mid-2026. Local coverage from The Real Deal links that relocation to a bump in daytime traffic for nearby restaurants and shops as thousands of employees start using the area as their weekday home base.
What To Watch Next
Leasing for the remaining restaurant and boutique retail bays will help determine how CityNorth’s ground-floor scene feels once the offices and grocery store open. Developers are already pitching those spaces to regional operators. Expect a steady drumbeat of construction milestones and tenant announcements through 2026 as Sprouts and its hotel neighbor finish interiors and get ready to welcome employees, guests and shoppers.
