New 110,700 sf facility to be built on the site, bringing an estimated 200 new jobs to the area.
Tampa, Florida (Sept. 22, 2022) – Land Advisors Organization’s Tampa Bay office announces the recent sale of an 18.6-acre parcel in the Gateway Centre Business Park in Pinellas Park. The parcel, which includes a retention pond, was sold for $3.58M to 28th Street North Industrial Properties, LLC, an entity owned by South-Carolina-based Johnson Development Associates and will be developed into a 110,700 square-foot industrial building.
Nancy Surak, a senior land advisor and managing broker for Land Advisors Organization’s Tampa Bay’s office, arranged the sale on behalf of the landowner Huntley Properties and Landholdings, LLC. The buyer was represented by David Freeman of Harrison Bennett Properties. The new facility, which is being built at the corner of 28th Street and MCI Drive, is expected to complete in 2023, and will create approximately 200 new jobs.
“The Pinellas Park area has become hub for many of the state’s largest employers in recent years and as the area’s population continues to grow we anticipate employers will continue to expand or locate within the region,” said Surak. “Since listing Gateway Centre Business Park’s seven vacant parcels in early 2020, just before the Covid pandemic began, interest has been growing from a variety of industries. In fact, we estimate that by 2025 the park will create more than 570 jobs with an annual payroll of over $25 million being generated from the four parcels that have already sold.”
This most recent sale in the nearly 65-acre Gateway Centre Business Park marks the fourth site within the park to be facilitated by Land Advisors Organization since December 2020. Parcels have also been purchased by Tavistock Development, which is built a 100k square-foot distribution facility that is slated to open later this year, bringing approximately 200 jobs; Everest Hospital, which is constructing a 100k square-foot physical rehabilitation hospital that is expected to open in 2023 and will bring approximately 100 medical jobs; and Polypack, which plans to expand its facilities with a 100k square-foot manufacturing development and special use facility that is slated to open in 2024, bringing an additional 70 new jobs to the area. There are three remaining parcels within the park available.
Nancy Surak specializes in providing land advisory services and land sales throughout the Metropolitan Tampa area for Land Advisors Organization. She recently celebrated a career milestone of closing on more than $275M in land sale transactions.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (Sept. 21, 2022) – Lucas Construction Group recently opened an Arizona office, compiling a team of industry veterans with more than 125 years of combined experience and creating a new force in the region’s multi-family and senior healthcare construction sector.
Lucas Construction team staff members have delivered more than 6,500 multi-family units in Metro Phoenix over the past 20 years. It currently has an active trio of senior healthcare projects in Arizona and two additional projects in Oregon worth $70 million when completed.
With annual revenues expected to exceed $125 million, Lucas Construction Group is a diversified general contractor based in North Scottsdale.
Rick Rohde
“Our current focus is on serving Metro Phoenix owners and developers in delivering quality multi-unit projects including garden, podium, and wrap construction types,” said Rick Rohde, Lucas Construction Group Director of Construction. “With an experienced team including field staff, we welcome referrals and collaboration with larger general contractors with workforce challenges.”
Lucas Construction Group has active senior living construction projects in San Tan Valley, Payson, and Estrella (Goodyear). Additional projects are underway in Roseburg and Creswell, Oregon.
Lucas Construction Group is affiliated with Inspired Healthcare Capital, an established senior living private equity real estate company with more than $1 billion in healthcare real estate transactions, acquired, developed, and financed.
Additional partners include Cre8tive Architecture and NSite Development, which were established along with Lucas Construction Group to meet the constantly increasing demand for multi-unit and senior housing. Although each company is a separate entity operating independently, the ecosystem created by the partnership offers efficiencies in expediting client projects and feeds cross-marketing opportunities to continue growth.
Tenant improvements have begun on an additional 10,000 SF space in Kierland Corporate Center to accommodate the growth of its staff, which now totals 20. Inspired Healthcare Capital will remain in the 15,000 SF space the four companies currently occupy. Lucas Construction Group, Cre8tive, and NSite Development will relocate to adjacent space in the first quarter of 2023.
The company recently hired industry expert Jodi James, who possesses decades of experience in business development and marketing leadership, as Business Development Manager.
Jodi James
“We’re promoting the experience of the team. Our team, and Rick in particular, has built more than $1 billion in multi-family projects in the Phoenix area,” James said. “I’m thrilled to help drive efforts to develop Lucas Construction Group’s position in multi-family and senior healthcare construction and to reinforce its commitment to delivering quality projects on time and on budget.”
Lucas Construction is licensed in Arizona and Oregon with contracting licenses pending approval in Utah and Nevada.
“We implement pre-construction services early. We leverage our depth of experience to evaluate every aspect of a project to provide practical and efficient approaches to save time and ultimately reduce costs,” Rohde said. “That’s what has made Lucas Construction Group a leader in the industry.”

PHOENIX, ARIZ. (Sept. 20, 2022) – Kiah Erlich, Head of Astronaut Sales and Corporate Partnerships for Blue Origin, is the 2022 AZCREW Woman Icon Speaker. Her non-space industry translation says it all: “Want to fly to space? I’m the gal you want to talk to.”
AZCREW, the commercial real estate organization that exists to transform the industry by advancing women globally, presents its annual Woman Icon Speaker series Oct. 12 at Arizona Country Club, 5668 E. Orange Blossom Lane, in Phoenix.
As the first point of contact for future astronauts, Erlich leads Blue Origin’s Astronaut Sales team and corporate partnerships for all businesses across Blue Origin. She grew up on the Central Coast of California watching rocket launches out of Vandenberg Air Force Base. At 16 she started taking flying lessons and is a licensed pilot. Erlich continued flying in college where she earned a bachelor of science degree in Aviation Management from Auburn University and an MBA in Aviation from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
What is it about space that intrigues us?
“I think it’s the unknown and the mystery behind it. It’s the freedom to dream and create anything you want,” Erlich said. “It’s infinite with no parameters, no ceilings, and no walls. It really lets your creative mind run loose. And we all love mystery. We did it as kids when we explored the beach, or went snorkeling in the ocean, or explored a forest. It’s the explorer in all of us.”
AZCREW’s October event begins with networking and a reception on the patio at 4:30 p.m. The presentation begins in the Arcadia room at 5:30 p.m. The event wraps up with networking and reception on the patio at 6:30 p.m.
Erlich began her career at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport where she worked for 1½ years as a graduate airport management intern. She has since spent most of her career in the aerospace industry having led multiple $300 million plus avionics and software businesses for Honeywell Aerospace including several acquisitions.
During her time at Honeywell, she was selected as one of the top 100 global millennial business leaders by Forbes 30 under 30 author Dan Schawbel and featured in his Washington Post bestseller Back to Human. Most recently she led the global sales team for Panasonic Avionics Corporation.
Three years ago, she was offered a once-in-lifetime opportunity to pivot her career and join the space industry as the Director of NASA sales for orbital launch. That non-space industry translation: “I sold rocket launches to the moon and beyond to NASA and civil government customers.”
Today Erlich is focused on finding Blue Origin’s future astronauts and corporate partners and working towards her company’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. She is based in Phoenix.
Is affordable space travel something we will see in the near future?
“Space is relative when you’re talking about time. It’s different for people who work in space and folks who work in other industries,” she explained. “I compare it to the Golden Age of aviation. To fly coast-to-coast roundtrip in the true Golden Age would cost $4,000 in today’s money. The average cost to send an astronaut to the International Space Station varies anywhere from $50 million to $100 million.
“The key for access to commercial space travel is reusable rockets and sustainable fuels. Airline companies don’t throw away an airplane every time they fly it. Blue Origin was first to vertically re-land a rocket booster. It really caught on. Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket is 99 percent reusable and both New Shepard and New Glenn are designed to fly a minimum of 25 times. That is a lot for one rocket,” Erlich said.
Registration fee is $75 for members; $500 for a table of eight (person booking the table must be a member); $100 for non-members; and $700 for a non-member table of eight. Register here.
“AZCREW is proud to celebrate pioneers, like Kiah, who break down barriers in industries historically considered male-dominated. The future of commercial real estate is bright, both here and beyond the stars,” said AZCREW President Heather Skinner.

Land Advisors Organization’s Dallas-Fort Worth office facilitates the sale of 8.5 acres to Wood Partners, complementing prior sale of nearby 13.9 acres to Leon Capital Group, for new multifamily developments.
Dallas, Texas (September 12, 2022) – Long-time owners of two land parcels surrounding Firewheel Town Center completed the disposition of the second land tract, located at the NE quadrant of Firewheel Parkway and President George Bush Turnpike/SH-190 in the City of Garland, to Atlanta-based developer Wood Partners. Based on recent submittals to the city, Wood Partners plans to construct a Class A, 250-unit project on the site.
In December 2021, following a competitive marketing process, Land Advisors Organization facilitated the sale of the first tract of land, a +/-13.9-acre site located along SH-190, to Dallas-based developer Leon Capital Group which plans to construct a 344-unit luxury project. The two parcels, totaling nearly 22.5 acres, will yield approximately 600 multifamily units between the two projects. Both projects border a large greenbelt in Rowlett Creek and future residents will enjoy direct access to the City’s planned Firewheel Trail system.
“As one of the nation’s fastest-growing metropolitan economies, Garland is a vibrant city with great leadership, quality schools and fantastic parks and open spaces,” said Austin Reilly with Land Advisors Organization. “The proposed Firewheel projects will bring needed residential units to the region and offer the added appeal of being only steps away from Firewheel Town Center.”
The parcels are located along Dallas-Fort Worth’s SH-190 corridor in Garland, Texas and adjacent to the popular, open-air, mixed-use Firewheel Town Center, a premier outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in the Northeast Dallas area.
Austin Reilly with Land Advisors Organization’s Dallas-Fort Worth office represented the landowner in both transactions.
