About 200 EVB

Thirty years on Van Buren.

From the newsroom that covered Arizona for a generation to a modern workplace in the heart of Downtown Phoenix — 200 EVB has always been a building that does work.

Three eras

A short history of 200 East Van Buren

The building opened in 1995 as the headquarters of Phoenix Newspapers Inc., purpose-built to house The Arizona Republic and the early years of azcentral.com. For its first decade, every major story in the state was reported from these floors.

In 2000, Gannett — the Virginia-based media company — acquired Phoenix Newspapers and made 200 East Van Buren one of the largest newsroom operations in the Southwest. KPNX (Channel 12) joined the building in 2011, combining print, broadcast, and digital under one roof. KPNX remains a tenant today.

ViaWest Group acquired the building from Gannett in 2018 and undertook a comprehensive renovation, reimagining the property as a modern multi-tenant office and rebranding it as 200 EVB. The lobby, common areas, and amenity floors all date from this era.

In December 2023, Pivot 200 EVB LLC acquired the building and continues to operate it today — anchored by KPNX, joined by Press Coffee on the ground floor, and home to a growing community of Phoenix businesses.

Inside the building

Five things that come with the lease

Gym

A full fitness facility on-site, included with annual leases and memberships. Free weights, cable machines, cardio equipment, and a stretch and mat area — the same kit you would expect at a commercial gym, without the membership fee.

Locker rooms with private showers and equipment storage mean a tenant can finish a run, clean up, and be back at their desk in under twenty minutes. No driving to a third location, no packing a separate bag for the day.

Open 24/7 with badge access. First-time use requires a one-time waiver at the front desk; after that, the gym is yours whenever you need it — early morning, late night, weekends.

Phone Booths

Two soundproof single-occupancy booths on the second floor, adjacent to the pool table and lounge. Drop in for a Zoom you don't want overheard, a phone interview, or thirty minutes of focus when your suite is full of guests.

Game Room

A casual recreation space anchored by a full-size Mario Kart arcade cabinet — the real thing, not a console emulator. Two projectors, both wired to PlayStation 5 consoles, let small groups play side-by-side or take over the room for a tournament.

It's the kind of room a team retreats to for thirty minutes after a long meeting block, or where two tenants from different floors end up talking shop over a quick race.

Pool Table & Lounge

A full-size pool table at the center of the building lounge — the social room more than any other. Seating around the perimeter, long benches for a casual lunch, and enough open floor for a happy-hour gathering.

Open 24/7 on a first-come, first-served basis. Racking the balls during a quick afternoon break is as common as hosting an after-work gathering on a game night.

The lounge tends to fill up before Suns games and concerts — Footprint Center and the convention center are a short walk away, so the room is a natural pre-event meeting spot for tenants and their guests.

Press Coffee

Press Coffee occupies the building lobby — a full coffee shop one elevator ride from any desk. Not a vending machine, not a Keurig in the breakroom; a working barista pulling proper shots.
