设计者在最初进行该项目的设计建设时，其设计原则就不仅仅是把它设计和建设成为一个城市内供人们休闲娱乐的公共活动场所，而且还要把它打造成为该城市的核心区域，使其成为推动该城市未来100年城市发展的催化剂，打造城市发展新的经济增长点，带动城市的快速发展。该项目设计的主要特点包括这几个重要的方面：对公共地域空间的灵活使用，设计建设吸引人的索诺兰沙漠景观，同时还要充分利用地下空间，充分挖掘其空间利用价值。凭借这些优势，吸引人们进入该市中心大街，入驻艺术中心、会议中心和住宅区。

市中心的广场是该项目的核心区域，广场上有一个帘状结构的巨大图标围绕着一个蒸发冷却塔，这是这个广场的最突出的景观。旁边则是最先进的水景设施，在冬天，它又可以成为一个溜冰场。于此同时整个广场营造的都是更加轻松的氛围，广场上建有索诺兰沙漠的主题公园，一个食品市场。此外，还有小型音乐会和艺术节目表演，一个休闲长廊弯曲延伸，广场周围还分布着供人们休息的长椅。

Conceived as a “town square with a twist,” Colwell Shelor, West 8 and Weddle Gilmore’s design makes the City Center more than just an event space. It is the City’s “green heart” and a catalyst for the next 100 years of urban growth in downtown Mesa.The design is characterized by generous spaces for flexible uses, inviting landscapes celebrating the Sonoran desert, and ground floor uses with public oriented programs that draw people into and through Mesa City Center to Main Street, the Arts Center, Convention Center and residential neighborhoods.

The Events Plaza is the central gathering space of the design. The centerpiece and icon of the project is a stunning Arizona copper shade structure, encompassing a passive evaporative cooling tower. A state-of-the-art water feature celebrates both the preciousness and playfulness of water, transforming into an ice skating rink during the winter. The Upper Terrace has a more relaxed atmosphere, with pockets of Sonoran Desert themed gardens and small-scale plazas for food markets, small concerts and art shows. The Leisure Promenade is a linear path that ties the Upper Terrace and Events Plaza park spaces together with seating and trees, so that visitors can hang out and watch the action。
