Downtown Vibes

With more than $200 million in private investment and 230,000 square feet of commercial development currently underway including restaurants, retail, and mixed-use projects, downtown Queen Creek is entering a highly visible phase of transformation.

Downtown Vibes is designed to support current construction efforts, build excitement about the future of downtown, and highlight existing and upcoming amenities. The campaign will help residents and visitors stay informed by positioning construction as a sign of growth, opportunity, and long-term community investment.

The Downtown Vibes Campaign includes social media reels and posts shared across Town and partner channels to keep the community engaged and informed, a phased rollout of visuals in key strategic locations to reach pedestrians and drivers, and a mix of signage, swag, and other marketing materials.
