Jetset and Inked Magazines Open New Scottsdale Headquarters Designed by Phoenix Design

Phoenix Design

Investment reinforces both brands’ long-term commitment to metro Phoenix

PHOENIX, Arizona, (August 26, 2026) – Leading Phoenix-based interior architecture and design firm Phoenix Design One (PDO) has completed a new corporate headquarters for Jetset Magazine and Inked Magazine. Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, the project marks a significant local investment for both national media brands as they continue grow their presence among high-end national and global audiences.

Located at 15220 N. 75th St. in the Scottsdale Airpark, the headquarters provides a purpose-built environment to serve evolving production needs, attract top creative talent and host the high-profile visitors tied to each publication’s coverage profile.

“Jetset and Inked have deep roots in Scottsdale and this headquarters ensures that the connection remains strong,” said Phoenix Design One Principal Sophia Humphrey. “Our goal was to create a workplace that supports their evolving operations, functioning at a high level for employees while making a bold statement about who they are – serving as not only an office but a curated destination.”

Jetset Magazine is one of the world’s leading luxury lifestyle publications, reaching a global, affluent readership of private jet travelers. Inked Magazine is the voice of the global tattoo culture, covering the intersection of ink, art, music, fashion and lifestyle. Both publications regularly feature celebrity talent and world-renowned artists on each cover.

“Our new headquarters is a true extension of our brands,” said Jetset Magazine Founder, CEO and Publisher Darrin Austin. “It captures the energy of our publications and gives our teams and our visitors the same kind of elevated appeal that propels our success. This new space is energizing, inspiring and built for the future of our business.”

The new headquarters draws inspiration from both the Jetset and Inked brands, layering hospitality-driven features with raw industrial character, and a design incorporating rich tones, blackened finishes, champagne-bronze accents, fluted glass and a mix of rough and polished stone.

The office is anchored by a dramatic double-volume center stairwell, with a cascading crystal chandelier and gallery-style display wall highlighting past Jetset magazine covers. Purpose-built spaces include open and private offices, a conference area, high-end employee kitchen, private shower room and professional photography studio concealed behind a bookcase. The office also features a state-of-the-art podcast studio with uniquely backlit acoustical panels, and a high-efficiency, dimmable LED lighting system that helps to reduce energy consumption while preserving a dramatic visual experience.

Phoenix Design One served as the project’s interior architect. Alexander Building Company is the general contractor and Threaded Studios is the architect. Forward Tilt was the furnishings consultant.

PDO is a studio of Long Beach, California-based national architecture and planning firm RDC.




City of Tucson Seeks Bids for Major Silverbell Road Improvements

Silverbell Road Improvements

TUCSON, ARIZONA (Aug. 26, 2026) — The City of Tucson is seeking construction bids for a major widening and reconstruction project along Silverbell Road between El Camino del Cerro and Goret Road.

The City issued Invitation for Bid No. 270146 on August 19 for approximately 3.27 miles of roadway improvements. The work includes 2.63 miles of Silverbell Road, extending from about one-quarter mile north of El Camino del Cerro to approximately 0.2 mile north of Goret Road, along with improvements to portions of El Camino del Cerro and Sweetwater Drive.

Plans call for construction of four travel lanes with medians, curbs and sidewalks, a multi-use path, traffic signals, street lighting, landscaping and irrigation, utility improvements and new drainage facilities. The City lists the project in a construction price range of more than $10 million and has established a 5% Small Business Enterprise participation goal.

The project is expected to involve a lengthy construction period. Solicitation documents call for approximately 730 calendar days, or two years, of construction, followed by a landscape establishment period. Contractors will be required to maintain two-way traffic on Silverbell Road, El Camino del Cerro and Sweetwater Drive during construction, as well as pedestrian and emergency vehicle access.

The improvements have been in the planning and design pipeline for several years. City records identify the project as Plan No. I-2016-002, and Tucson’s Department of Transportation and Mobility previously listed the Silverbell Road segment from El Camino del Cerro to Goret Road among its upcoming transportation projects.

A pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 27 at 1 p.m. Arizona time. Contractor bids are due September 21 at 2 p.m. Arizona time, with the bid opening scheduled for the same time.

The project represents another significant infrastructure investment on Tucson’s west side as residential development and traffic demand continue to increase along the Silverbell corridor.
