PHOENIX, ARIZ. (August 16, 2021) – Connect. Collaborate. Create. For the past 15 years, woman-owned triARC architecture & design has built upon those values, providing its clients with inspiring places and spaces.
As it celebrates its 15th anniversary, triARC boasts almost 1,200 projects and more than 2,000 space plans. TriARC specializes in healthcare and medical; multi-family and senior living; office and industrial; and restaurants and retail.
Owners (left to right) Marlene Brandemuehl and Jill Hamblen.
“It’s been 15 amazing years and the lessons keep coming,” said Jill Hamblen, AIA, one of the firm’s two owners. “Connections with teammates past and present give me joy. Collaborating with consultants, industry representatives and real estate professionals keep me expanding my vision for how we can grow. And helping clients create beautiful space brings purpose to my day. I am grateful each day for the gifts triARC has given me.”
Hamblen and partner Marlene Brandemuehl have grown the office to 25 professionals, including eight registered architects. For 15 years the triARC team has embraced the ability to build relationships first, which cultivates interactions and projects with which it is involved.
“From our inception 15 years ago, Jill and Marlene have led the practice with a vision consistent with what we now call ‘triARC Core Values’ to build a culture focused on people,” said Norio Tsuchiya, AIA, Creative Director, Senior Project Manager. “The next 15 years at triARC will be built upon this solid foundation to continue delivering thoughtful and consequential architecture and interior design, essential for thriving communities.”
Three signature projects that define triARC’s first 15 years:
Adelante Healthcare, Goodyear
Nature of Project: Medical
By the numbers: 45,000 SF
Location: Goodyear, Arizona
Special triARC elements: Organic architecture was a main focus in this design. The importance of this concept to the project was to reflect not only the natural world of Arizona but to attempt to synthesize the calming and spiritual elements always found in nature to provide a measure of peace and reduce the stress that patients have when they contemplate a visit to the doctor. With over 45,000 usable square feet, triARC created cohesive design elements that flowed throughout every space of this healthcare center.
The Retreat at Alameda
Nature of Project: Multifamily / Senior Living
By the numbers: 93,000 SF / 104 units
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
Special triARC elements: The Retreat at Alameda is an assisted living and memory care facility. The elegant exterior of limestone columns and a stacked stone base are what first catch the eye, but the focus on comfort and accessibility throughout The Retreat is what will provide peace of mind for residents and their families.
It offers 104 units including studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Through providing both architecture and interior design, triARC was able to inspire a sense of community. Amenities include an indoor and outdoor dining area, café/pub, theater, salon, lounges, fitness center and activity rooms.
UA Local 469
Nature of Project: Office/Industrial
By the numbers: 17,000 SF
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
Special triARC elements: UA Local 469 is an office space for the UA Plumbers and Pipefitters 469. With the use of eye-catching industrial elements, triARC was able to enhance the space with exposed ductwork and pipes, open workspaces, and unique interior finishes.
From polished concrete flooring to eccentric wallpaper this space provides the perfect backdrop for both work and gathering. The conference room boasts the pairing of industrial exposed conduit and lighting with rich-colored wood finishes. This is where beauty and functionality meet to create design elements that speak for themselves.
“Fifteen years in a job I love is a dream come true and rarely have I considered it ‘work,’” Brandemuehl said. “Striving daily to live and witness the triARC values of connect, create, collaborate is not hard either. The ‘dynamic duo’ partnership, amazing staff, strong relationships in the industry and open-minded repeat clients makes this easy. I remain thankful each and every day.”

Land Advisors Organization’s homebuilding team facilitated the closing of approximately 80 acres, marking the sale of the last investor-owned finished lots in Coolidge, Arizona.
Scottsdale, Ariz. (August 11, 2021) – Land Advisors Organization’s Homebuilding Team is pleased to announce the closing of nearly 80 acres in Cross Creek Ranch to Richmond America Homes and Oakwood Homes for nearly $27.5 million.
The sale delivers 372 finished residential home lots and is the second of a two-phase sale to these builders in the Cross Creek Ranch community, located in Coolidge, Arizona. The first phase, which closed in January of 2021 for just over $16 million, included 309 finished lots in the same development.
Cross Creek Ranch is located south of AZ-87 and just east of NEC West Vah Ki Inn Road and North Skousen Road, adjacent to the Casa Grand National Monument, in Pinal County. This month’s closing of these 372 finished lots marks the sale of the last investor-owned finished lots available in the city of Coolidge.
Land Advisors Organization’s Homebuilding Team of Ben Heglie, Bret Rinehart and Ryan Semro represented the buyer in the transaction.
“It’s very rewarding to be part of the growth that Pinal County is experiencing,” Heglie said. “With this purchase of the last remaining investor-owned finished lots in the city of Coolidge, builders will have to shift their focus towards securing unimproved land to meet demand as our growth corridor expands further southeast of Metro Phoenix. It’s exciting to see builders returning to Coolidge.”
Land Advisors Organization’s Arizona Homebuilding team facilitates sales on behalf of landowners with virtually every major home builder in the market. The team specializes in home builder developments, multi-family communities and master-planned communities across Arizona.

PHOENIX, ARIZ. (August 11, 2021) – Cawley Architects continues its mastery of designing projects that serve the needs of a community with a collaborative project at the Phoenix Rescue Mission – the Life Recovery Building at the Transforming Lives Center.
In collaboration with the Phoenix Rescue Mission and its generous donors and general contractor GCON, Cawley Architects provided design expertise for the $9 million, 56,252 SF project at 1801 S. 35th Ave., in Phoenix that opened last month.
The project includes the new construction of a 4-story administration and housing building that includes 280 beds, dividable chapel and classroom spaces, expanded meeting spaces, and inviting outdoor spaces.
Cawley Architects designed the building as a place of hope, healing, and new beginnings for men struggling with homelessness, addiction, and trauma. The Life Recovery Building, which replaces a 160-bed, barrack-style building, fosters self-worth and confidence, dignity, new life, and a new path forward for its residents.
The brick façade of the building features a phoenix on a cross, a striking symbol of renewal, hope and transformation.
“I was moved by the comments of one of the residents who was interviewed for a virtual ribbon-cutting event video,” said Sherm Cawley, AIA, SIOR, President/Founder of Cawley Architects. “In a content tone of voice, he said, ‘We’re now living in a place designed for people.’ Those comments truly resonated with our team.”
As a long-term Christ-centered recovery program, the Life Recovery Building was designed with the following precepts in mind:
- More beds will result in more transformation opportunities. The bed count increased from 160 to 360 and rather than a barracks-style configuration, each air-conditioned room accommodates two to four men and includes closet and storage areas as well as study space.
- More classes will result in more personal growth opportunities. Expanded and dividable chapel and classroom spaces permit unlimited options for a more structured curriculum, including inner-healing classes, foundation classes, life-skill development opportunities, family-relationship counseling, and education assistance.
- The outdoor respite area will “feed the soul.” Inviting outdoor spaces were included to encourage fellowship as well as quiet space for solitude and reflection.
“This new building and renovation project will serve as a catalyst for transformation on a scale we’ve never witnessed before – not just because we will be able to serve 200 additional men at any given time – but because of the countless fathers, husbands, and community members whose lives will have been transformed,” Phoenix Rescue Mission CEO Ken Brissa said. “It will also allow us to rescue more people from crisis into a safe, supportive environment and place them on a path to achieving sustainable, lifelong goals.”
