PJD’s expansion is in response to builders’ needs and market demand in growth markets across the country.
PHOENIX (May 6, 2022) – Phoenix-based Paul Johnson Drywall, Inc. (PJD) announces closing its investment in Vatos Drywall, a long-term and prolific residential drywall contractor based in Orlando, Florida and serving multiple markets across the state.
PJD’s purchase of Vatos grows its service capacities in the region and expands secure access for residential builders to PJD’s industry-leading platform.
Orlando’s construction market has proven robust and outperformed virtually all other market service areas. The residential construction sector remains the largest by a significant margin and makes up more than half of all construction volume.
Cole Johnson
Cole Johnson, president of PJD, spoke about the substantial contribution the unification of PJD and Vatos will bring to the market.
“As residential builders are struggling to have their needs met in a professional and timely manner across the country, we have sought out the highest quality subcontractors in a number of markets and are bringing them onto PJD’s platform.
“We are confident that with this highly strategic move, we will immediately leverage Vatos’s existing team and excellent reputation with our proven systems to deliver a consistent offering to our customers paired with the quality of service they expect and deserve. This is an exciting time for our Company. We are proud to bring Vatos onboard, and we see terrific prospects continuing for the housing market ahead.”
Combining the PJD and Vatos teams is the firm’s latest success in growing its national footprint. PJD plans to keep all Vatos employees, who will continue to be led by Mr. Luis Rodriguez. Every employee will immediately benefit from PJD’s nationally recognized Good Jobs workforce strategy.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA (May 3, 2022) – Diversity is a broad term. In real estate, it means representing all communities with a variety of racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds, and a wide range of lifestyles and experiences.
It’s recognizing and representing different demographic groups in a given market area resulting in better advocacy for education, homeownership and private property rights. In order for real estate companies to be able to relate to a diverse population, it’s important to have representatives of these diverse populations providing input to decisions.
ULI Arizona’s DEI Committee presents “Advancing Arizona’s Real Estate Industry Through Diversity” on May 19, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the John Paul Theatre on the Phoenix College campus, 1202 W. Thomas Road, Phoenix.
“As a society, we have taken a number of strides towards fairness and understanding communities that for many historical reasons, were not in the forefront. This particular event will help to enlighten us all about the importance of continuing the work of creating a pipeline of diverse future real estate innovators,” said DEI Committee Vice Chair Oscar De las salas with Gensler.
ULI Arizona’s DEI Committee works to provide strategic guidance and implement systems to engage students, youth, and leaders of diverse backgrounds with professional opportunities and resources within ULI and the real estate and development industry. It has partnered with Project Destined, a global, social impact platform that teaches underserved youth the fundamentals of commercial real estate.
Students work with leading executives to evaluate live deals in their community and present them in a pitch competition. Scholars emerge with the skills, confidence, experiences, and networks that prepare them to secure a strong first job. Educating underserved youth about the industry provides them with the tools to make better decisions about issues in their communities, either as participants in land use discussions, as entrepreneurs, or as employees of real estate-related companies.
Catherine Anaya, a three-time Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist will serve as moderator. Panelists will include Alexis Barber, student and Regional Production Director, Project Destined; C. Joseph Blackbourn, President and CEO, Everest Holdings; Cedric Bobo, Co-Founder and CEO, Project Destined; and Natalia Chavez, Development Analyst, Dominium.
Registration pricing varies from $30 for members to $40 for non-members. Students may register for free. Register here.

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (May 3, 2022) – As the booming West Valley continues to grow, the healthcare real estate community has heeded the call and is delivering.
Mangat Group is developing Sundance Medical Center, which will be located at the NWC of Yuma Road and Sundance Parkway in Buckeye. The two-story medical office building will total 43,600 SF.
Banner Health announced plans to build a hospital in Buckeye at the NWC of Verrado Way and I-10. The new four-story hospital will total 330,000 SF.
“Buckeye is in need of medical services, everything from women’s services to pediatrics to imaging to specialty services to geriatric medicine to outpatient facilities,” said Andrea Davis, CCIM, Principal of Andrea Davis CRE. “As one of the Valley’s fastest-growing markets for new commercial growth, Buckeye is expected to experience a medical office building boom as the young-family oriented city continues to grow.”
Sundance Medical Center is breaking ground in late 2022 and is scheduled to open in mid-2023. It will be designed for all sizes of tenants, and include the capability to handle an out-patient surgery center on the bottom floor. It will feature building and monument signage, medical parking, covered reserved parking, a drive-up to the entrance to drop off patients, and a generator pad on site,
“Underneath the trendy design, Sundance Medical has cutting edge structural features needed for medical practitioners,” Davis said. “The developer will help with an upfront space design of the suite and there is a generous tenant improvement allowance. We are already negotiating with enthusiastic practitioners.”
As the largest Valley city in terms of size – 640 square miles – Buckeye boasts more than 91,000 residents, an 80 percent increase from 2010, according to the city website. The Maricopa Association of Governments predicts Buckeye’s population will balloon to 305,000 residents by 2040.
Commercial activity in Buckeye is on the rise as the city sees investments across all industry sectors. Meeting demand of the growing population, Buckeye proves to be a successful location for new development.
Buckeye has landed KORE Power, a lithium-ion battery manufacturer expected to add more than 3,000 well-paying jobs to West Valley. Buckeye also boasts Verrado, an 8,800-acre master-planned community.

AZ firm advised Friedman Recycling Companies with sale of TX, NM recycling operations
PHOENIX, AZ. (April 27, 2022) — CapMatrix Ltd, a full-service capital markets and corporate strategic advisory firm headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, has facilitated the successful sale of two valuable, out-of-state assets for the Phoenix-based Friedman Recycling Companies.
The sale transfers ownership of Friedman’s Texas and New Mexico municipal recycling operations to Waste Connections, Inc. (TSX/NYSE).
While financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, the operations sold by Friedman Recycling Companies include state of the art municipal recycling facilities (MRFs) located in El Paso, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, which collectively process more than 115,000 tons of recycled consumer and commercial material annually.
The transaction, managed by CapMatrix, is an example of an Arizona business engaging an Arizona-based strategic advisory firm to facilitate a sale. Morris Friedman, president of Friedman Recycling Companies, said local knowledge, proximity and strategic alignment were key factors behind his decision to work with an Arizona-based firm, rather than an out-of-state firm, for this specific transaction.
“This company is a part of our family, so when we made the strategic decision to divest our out-of-state assets and focus our energies at home here in Arizona, it was important to us that our strategic advisors honor and respect what we’ve built while searching for the right buyer,” Friedman said. “The team at CapMatrix was completely aligned with us from beginning to end, diligently worked the process of vetting potential buyers and kept everyone focused on the deadline for a closing. We couldn’t have done it without them.”
Waste Connections, Inc., the third-largest solid waste management company in North America, already had substantial operations in its home state of Texas but was looking to expand in El Paso. As part of its due diligence, CapMatrix understood that the company was also actively pursuing new opportunities in neighboring New Mexico, specifically Albuquerque.
The El Paso facility, which opened in 2006, spans nine acres and 49,000 SF. It handles municipal recycling operations for El Paso and Las Cruces. The 90,000 SF facility in New Mexico is set on 12.5 acres and handles recycling operations for the greater Albuquerque area.
Deron Bocks, president and managing partner at CapMatrix, said he and his firm were proud to represent Friedman in the sale, particularly because it bucks the trend of Arizona businesses using out-of-state strategic advisory firms.
“At CapMatrix, we pride ourselves on our ability to understand the unique dynamics of privately-held, and often family-owned, businesses by working closely with them to navigate complex transactions,” Bocks said. “We appreciate that the Friedman’s trusted us with this opportunity, we’re excited that we were able to execute a successful transaction for all parties involved, and we truly embrace our position as a local strategic advisory option for Arizona businesses in need of transactional representation.”

CapMatrix LLC is a full-service capital markets and corporate strategic advisory firm based in Phoenix, Arizona. With over 50 years of collective leadership experience and $2 billion in completed transactions, the team at CapMatrix focuses on capital markets transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and principal investments.
