EHS Restoration helps restore the lives of others through its philanthropic initiatives across Valley

EHS Restoration leadership and employees take part in supporting non-profit and charitable organizations such as the Feed My Starving Children, the Vitalant Blood Donation Drive, Arizona Burn Foundation, Aris Foundation Food Drive, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospitals, and Phoenix Children’s Hospitals.

“There are people and organizations in the Valley that need the business community to step and volunteer their time and services,” said EHS Restoration Marketing Manager Abby Vallelonga. “Philanthropy is a big part of our company culture. That culture begins with our leadership and is embraced by the rest of the employees. We are very proud that our commitment to giving back is year-round.”

EHS Restoration teams with its clients to collect food donations. Marketing Manager Abby Vallelonga recently filled her car with donations from 10 local companies.

Vallelonga added that EHS Restoration professionals are currently working with several families who have been devastated by fires to their residences.

“A residential fire is personal, traumatic, and emotional,” Vallelonga said. “It is also very costly. “Our teams do their best to make the restoration process as smooth as possible.”

♦️ Feed My Starving Children: Assisting in packing more than 10,000 meals to help feed families and children all over the world.

♦️ Vitalant Blood Donation Drive: Teaming with RealManage to hold a blood donation drive utilizing the services of Vitalant Blood Donation.

At the end of July, Vallelonga said EHS Restoration will assist Aris Foundation in hosting a dinner for more than 250 homeless families in Tempe. Through the organization Packages From Home, EHS Restoration employees will also be packing care baskets/packages for those who are actively deployed in the U.S. military overseas.

“As a veteran-owned business, we are excited for the chance to support this organization,” Vallelonga said.

NAI Horizon facilitates sale of flagship Serrano’s Mexican Restaurant in Chandler for $4.58M

PHOENIX, ARIZONA (July 2, 2024) – NAI Horizon facilitated the $4.58 million sale of Serrano’s Mexican Restaurant located at 141 S. Arizona Ave., in Downtown Chandler, Arizona. The restaurant totals 13,250 SF; the sale fetched $346 per SF.

NAI Horizon Executive Vice President Lane Neville, Senior Associate Cole Neville, and Associates Matt Westra, Whitney Heritage and Brandon Hall represented the seller, Serrano Family Limited Partnership from Chandler.

“This flagship family restaurant location opened in 1979 in Downtown Chandler and flourished for 45 years, it was truly our honor to be part of the sale of such an iconic restaurant,” Lane Neville said. “Based on the superb location and abundant buyer interest, we utilized our proprietary competitive bid sale process to generate the best price for our client.”

The buyer, JAM Management LLC, also based in Chandler, was represented by Peter Sciacca of Launch Powered by Compass.

“It is with mixed emotions – but surely pride – that we announce the sale of the property and the closing of our Chandler restaurant location that our parents, Ernie and Eva, founded,” said Serrano’s General Partner Ric Serrano. “We happily still operate our three other Serrano’s restaurants, two in Mesa and one in Queen Creek.  Also, we continue to operate our Pronto location in Tempe.

“Operating the business has been a family affair, our goal has always been to honor our parents’ vision, we all feel very satisfied that we accomplished that.  Our family has been involved in business in Chandler for 105 years with our original venture starting in 1919 with Serrano Brothers Popular Store, a department store that operated for 60 years.

“We take lots of pride in our deep and longstanding relationships in the Chandler community and wish the very best to our buyer that is pursuing their own Mexican restaurant concept on site. We will be there to support them, to keep the tradition alive,” Serrano said.

Serrano’s Mexican Restaurant is located adjacent to Chandler City Hall in the heart of Downtown Chandler, on the east side of Arizona Avenue, immediately south of Boston Street.

NAI Horizon facilitates a second long-term lease at business incubator Pickle House in Phoenix

NAI Horizon facilitates a second long-term lease at business incubator Pickle House in Phoenix

     PHOENIX, ARIZONA (June 25, 2024) – NAI Horizon facilitated the second long-term retail lease at a historic building in Downtown Phoenix, this time securing space for a local organization that provides the opportunity for small businesses to showcase their products and services to the public and develop ideas on a larger, and more consistent stage.

NAI Horizon Executive Vice President Jeffrey Garza Walker, MRED, MBA, represented the landlord, CPLC (Chicanos Por La Causa) Pickle House, LLC, in the $3.01 million, long-term lease at the CPLC Pickle House Makerspace Business Incubator at 1401 E. Van Buren St., in Phoenix.

Garza Walker also represented the tenant, Archwood Community Resource Empowerment Strategy (ACRES), which will take 13,107 SF, the entire North Building.

The business incubator provides a platform for entrepreneurs from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed. Built in the 1920s as a family-owned pickle factory, the Arnold Pickle House sat vacant for years until CPLC purchased it in 2018. CPLC renovated the building with grant funds from the state to foster more opportunities for small businesses.

“Once again NAI Horizon is honored to be a partner in the redevelopment of an iconic location that will serve the community with an art gallery, art exhibitions, educational workshops, day camps, event space, and co-working space,” Garza Walker said.

ACRES was established in 2016 by a group of entrepreneurs and organizers with a goal of increasing the presence and vitality of Black-owned businesses in Arizona. In May of 2017 it started hosting monthly community gatherings known as “The Buy Black Marketplace.” Through its monthly marketplaces, educational opportunities, and growing network, ACRES has been able to support the growth and development of more than 200 Black-owned businesses in the Phoenix Metro service area.

Founded in 1969, CPLC provides services to people of all backgrounds while honoring its Mexican-American roots. It facilitates growth through five areas of impact: health and human services; housing; education; economic development; and advocacy.

In December 2023, Garza Walker represented CPLC in the initial long-term lease for 4,378 SF by Paws 48, an indoor dog park.

NAI Horizon facilitates sale of Chandler Medical Center for $7.3M via competitive bid sale process

     PHOENIX, ARIZONA (June 13, 2024) – NAI Horizon facilitated the $7.3 million sale of Chandler Medical Center, a 22,591 SF multi-tenant medical office building located at 655 S. Dobson Road in Chandler, Arizona. The sale price fetched $323.14 per SF.

NAI Horizon Executive Vice President Lane Neville, Senior Associate Cole Neville and Associates Brandon Hall, Whitney Heritage, and Matt Westra represented the seller, Chandler Medical Property Company LLC (Tolis Advisors) from New York City, NY. The buyer, Provider Real Estate Partners Fund I, L.P. from Cleveland, Ohio, was self-represented.

“This was a full circle brokerage moment for our NAI Horizon Healthcare Advisory Group. We sold the property to Tolis Advisors in January 2020, representing a CMBS Special Servicer. After the Tolis acquisition, they hired our MOB team to lease the property, along with our strong NAI Property Management division. We stabilized the property performance, raised average rental rates to market and leased up the property to 100 percent occupancy, now our team just successfully sold the property again,” Lane Neville said.

“Both of our sales of Chandler Medical Center were done through our national competitive bid sale process.
