triARC architecture & design celebrates new headquarters, 20 years of architectural excellence

triARC architecture & design celebrates new headquarters, 20 years of architectural excellence

News & Updates

PHOENIX, Ariz. (July 29, 2026) – triARC architecture & design has three powerful reasons to celebrate in 2026: the move into its newly renovated headquarters at 3333 E. Indian School Road, the firm’s 20th anniversary, and Principal Owner Jill Hamblen’s 33rd year of practicing architecture.

The Phoenix-based architecture and design firm officially moved into its new home on June 15, marking a significant milestone in the company’s evolution. The relocation comes just weeks before triARC celebrates the anniversary of its founding on August 1, 2006, creating a fitting backdrop for reflecting on two decades of growth, collaboration, and design excellence.

Adding a memorable touch to the milestone is the firm’s new address: 3333 E. Indian School Road, a fitting coincidence as Hamblen celebrates 33 years in the profession.

      The new headquarters is a comprehensive redevelopment of an existing structure that was taken down to its core and reimagined into a modern workplace tailored specifically to triARC’s culture and future. The project encompasses 6,000 SF, including a 2,000 SF enclosed courtyard, representing an investment of $1 million.

Owned by Jill and Dave Hamblen, the project gave the triARC team a rare opportunity to experience the development process from the client’s side of the table. triARC architecture & design served as architect of record; LOR Construction, LLC served as general contractor.

“It’s one thing to understand what a developer goes through; it’s another to experience it firsthand. We learned so many valuable lessons,” Jill Hamblen said. “Every decision mattered because it was our project, our vision and our investment. That perspective will continue to make us better partners for our clients.”

Designed by the Hamblens and the triARC team, the office was conceived as more than just a workplace. The space was created to embody the firm’s collaborative culture, showcase its design philosophy, and support future growth. Interior spaces include three conference rooms, two private phone booths, a wellness room, an employee breakroom, a materials library, and a parent room.

The team commemorated the move with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a celebratory toast, and the inevitable unpacking that accompanies any relocation.

“The space feels good. It fits who we are and what we do and will allow us to grow the firm. To build an office for us and by us has been such a rewarding experience,” Jill Hamblen said.

While the new office represents the firm’s future, the 20th anniversary provides an opportunity to recognize the people who helped shape its past.

“Twenty years of great work is never the story of one team,” Jill Hamblen said. “Since day one, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside clients, contractors, engineers and trusted collaborators who have helped shape triARC into what it is today. To all of our partners, whether you’ve been with us from the start or joined somewhere along the way, thank you. We’re proud of what we’ve built together and excited for what comes next.”

Over the past two decades, triARC has built its reputation through thoughtful design, strong client relationships and a commitment to collaboration. As the firm enters its next chapter from its newly completed headquarters, that same spirit continues to guide its work.

With a new home, a major anniversary and a leader celebrating 33 years in architecture, triARC architecture & design is embracing a milestone moment while looking ahead to the opportunities yet to come.

LevRose Commercial Real Estate announces $5.25M sale of Mesa industrial flex property

LevRose Commercial Real Estate announces $5.25M sale of Mesa industrial flex property

News & Updates

MESA, Ariz. (July 29, 2026) – LevRose Commercial Real Estate is pleased to announce the successful sale of an industrial flex property located at 4220 E. McDowell Road in Mesa, Arizona, for $5.25 million.

The transaction was completed by Mark Cassell, Landon McKernan, Cameron Miller and Joe Jones of the LevRose Industrial Team, which exclusively represented the seller throughout the sale process.

The property consists of a ±20,544 SF industrial flex building situated on ±103,050 SF  (±2.37 acres) and was originally constructed in 2006. The asset features durable block construction and offers a rare combination of industrial functionality and extensive office improvements, including approximately 15,494 SF of office space.

Additional features include a professional reception area, a large bullpen work area, a 14’ x 14’ grade-level door, a fully secured yard, and 18 covered parking spaces, making it well-suited for a variety of owner-user and industrial business operations.

The sale presented a unique challenge as the property’s lease was scheduled to expire this year. Recognizing the potential impact that an upcoming lease expiration could have on the property’s value and marketability, the LevRose Industrial Team proactively identified and secured a buyer before the lease term expired.

Through strategic marketing efforts and strong industry relationships, the team successfully negotiated and closed the transaction, allowing the seller to capitalize on favorable market conditions and avoid uncertainty associated with a tenant rollover.

The transaction also positions the seller for the next phase of their investment strategy.

The LevRose Industrial Team is currently assisting the seller with identifying a replacement asset as part of a 1031 exchange, to acquire a property that will generate stronger cash flow and increased income.

“Our team was honored to represent the seller in this transaction,” Cassell said. “We had great rapport with the buyer’s agent, Gary Cornish of Newmark, which helped secure the building for his user before hitting the market.”

The successful closing underscores the LevRose Industrial Team’s ability to create value for clients through market expertise, collaborative industry relationships, and strategic transaction execution in the Metro Phoenix industrial market.

Kidder Mathews announces groundbreaking of The Collective on Ocotillo, a new medical office condominium development  in Queen Creek

Kidder Mathews announces groundbreaking of The Collective on Ocotillo, a new medical office condominium development in Queen Creek

News & Updates

QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. (July 28, 2026) — The Phoenix office of Kidder Mathews is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of The Collective on Ocotillo, a new Class A medical office condominium development located at the SEC of Ocotillo Road and 226th Street in Queen Creek, Arizona.

The $20.1 million project, developed by A.T. Craft of Mesa, Arizona, will provide healthcare professionals and medical users with a rare opportunity to purchase or lease modern medical office space in one of Metro Phoenix’s fastest-growing communities. Construction is underway with delivery anticipated in Q1 2027.

Kidder Mathews is serving as the exclusive listing broker for the project. Perry Gabuzzi, CCIM, Michael Dupuy, and Rachael Thompson of Kidder Mathews’ Phoenix office are marketing the medical office condominium opportunities for sale and lease.

“Demand has been strong. We were aware of a handful of users looking around before launching the marketing campaign. Once we launched, we saw a notable increase in activity and uncovered more interest from owner/users and tenants in the market,” Gabuzzi said.

Strategically positioned along the Ocotillo Road corridor, The Collective on Ocotillo is designed to meet the increasing demand for high-quality healthcare facilities driven by Queen Creek’s rapid residential and commercial growth. The development will offer a total of approximately 48,000 RSF across four buildings, providing flexibility for independent practitioners, specialty medical groups, healthcare providers, and related professional services seeking to establish or expand their presence in the Southeast Valley.

The four-building project will consist of buildings totaling approximately 17,967 SF, 10,677 SF, 9,663 SF, and 9,612 SF. Spaces will be available for purchase or lease and can accommodate users ranging from 2,500 SF to full-building opportunities.

The Collective on Ocotillo has been thoughtfully designed to combine modern architecture, convenient accessibility, and a professional healthcare environment tailored to the needs of providers and their patients. The architect of record for the project is Edifice Architecture; A.T. Meridian is the general contractor.

The project offers frontage along Ocotillo Road with prominent monument and building signage opportunities, a 5:1,000 parking ratio, including covered parking stalls designated for physicians, and excellent ingress and egress from both Ocotillo Road and 226th Street.

Designed to support strong medical co-tenancy and long-term practice growth, the development is located within minutes of Banner Ironwood Medical Center, a 47-room hospital offering emergency services, obstetrics, surgery, and general medical care. The property’s zoning allows for a broad range of clinic, medical, dental, and general office uses.

“Queen Creek is one of the most dynamic growth markets in the Valley, and healthcare infrastructure needs to keep pace with that growth. Every aspect of The Collective on Ocotillo was planned with the provider and the local community in mind. The strong demand from physician groups engaged so far reinforces the need for this type of development. We appreciate the many project partners and the Town of Queen Creek who are helping to make this happen,” said Garret Clifford, CEO of A.T. Craft.

The project is also positioned to benefit from significant surrounding growth. More than 347,000 SF of planned retail development is located within three miles of the site, while Queen Creek continues to rank among the fastest-growing communities in Arizona and the nation. The town’s population has increased nearly 57 percent since 2010 to approximately 83,900 residents and is projected to grow to nearly 148,000 residents by 2035. Thousands of new homes have been delivered in recent years, with roughly 1,600 new housing permits issued annually.

As healthcare providers increasingly seek ownership opportunities to control occupancy costs and build long-term equity, medical office condominiums have become an attractive alternative to traditional leasing. The Collective on Ocotillo will offer buyers the opportunity to own their practice location while also providing leasing options for tenants who prefer operational flexibility.

Market response to the project has been strong. Currently, purchase and sale agreements are out on approximately 13,000 SF, with an additional 25,000 SF actively under negotiation, underscoring the demand for new medical office product in the Queen Creek market.
