The Luhrs name adorns the twin skyscrapers that have anchored Downtown Phoenix along Jefferson Street since the Roaring ‘20s. Two other prominent buildings once bore the Luhrs name. The Luhrs Central Building was demolished in 2014. Earlier, the Luhrs Hotel was lost, but not before it almost found a second life as a unique film studio.

2025 was a year defined by leadership, collaboration, and forward-thinking progress for Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA). From welcoming inspiring new leaders, to reigniting efforts to update the Downtown Strategic Plan and deepening advocacy around the issues that matter most, PCA continued to bring people together to solve challenges, share ideas, and move meaningful work forward.

2025 has been a breakthrough year for Downtown Phoenix. For Downtown Phoenix Inc. (DPI), it was a year that truly amplified our mission and affirmed what's possible when a community moves with intention.

Let's take a look back at some of the memorable milestones and initiatives that Downtown Phoenix Inc. and its affiliates contributed to this year.
