Rockefeller Group to develop 415,000 SF distribution center in Southwest Valley

Rockefeller Group to develop 415,000 SF distribution center in Southwest Valley

News & Updates

by | Apr 13, 2023 | News & Updates

IRVINE, Calif. – April 13, 2022 – Rockefeller Group, the U.S. real estate developer, owner, and operator, announced that it has purchased a 25-acre parcel on Sweetwater Avenue in Surprise, Arizona, for $12 million.

The company will develop Surprise Pointe Commerce Center, a 415,000 SF speculative distribution center, on the property. The project is designed to accommodate one to four tenants and offers a 36-foot clear height, 83 dock doors, a 185’ truck yard, 103 truck trailer parking stalls, 466 auto-parking stalls and custom-designed office space.  Surprise is part of the Southwest Valley industrial submarket.

“Rockefeller Group is excited to be developing a new industrial project in the Phoenix area and in Surprise, a great center for business,” said Marc Berg, Vice President and Regional Director for Rockefeller Group’s West Region.  “Because of the location’s access to both Interstate 10, and Loop 303, combined with a friendly community that welcomes businesses, we are confident that Surprise Pointe Commerce Center will attract tenants from e-commerce, manufacturing, and suppliers to the growing semiconductor industry.”

In May 2020, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.  (TSMC) announced a $12 billion investment in the company’s chip manufacturing plant in Arizona.  In December 2022, the company increased its investment to $40 billion in the 1,100-acre project and numerous suppliers have followed TSMC, creating demand for industrial buildings throughout Metro Phoenix.

The site is also strategically located near other transportation corridors including U.S. 60, Interstate 17, and Loop 101 will allow this new industrial building to serve not just Phoenix but Las Vegas, Tucson, Albuquerque, and all of Texas.

“Absorption rates for industrial in the Southwest Valley are actually higher than in the Inland Empire in California, which has historically been one of the top markets for industrial,” said Berg. “People are flocking to Surprise and the surrounding areas. The area’s diversified economy and good employment base make the Surprise Pointe Commerce Center the ideal location for businesses adding jobs.”

Cooper Fratt of CBRE and Kirk Kuller of Cushman & Wakefield represented Rockefeller Group and will handle the marketing and leasing of the project.  Ware Malcomb will design the project and Layton Construction will be the general contractor.  Rockefeller Group’s civil engineer, who has extensive experience in Phoenix, is Hunter Engineering.

Diversified Partners breaks ground on highly anticipated $125M Mercy Center in Gilbert

Diversified Partners breaks ground on highly anticipated $125M Mercy Center in Gilbert

News & Updates

by | Apr 12, 2023 | News & Updates

The 11-acre development, located on the SEC of Val Vista Drive and East Mercy Road, will be comprised of a two-story retail, restaurant and office space, a two-story flagship Starbucks, a regional headquarters for Bell Bank, a Residence Inn by Marriott and a Homeward Suites Hotel; Sigma Contracting is the general contractor.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (April 12, 2023) — Diversified Partners, the leading Scottsdale real estate brokerage and development company, announced the groundbreaking for its Mercy Center development project, located at 3635 S. Val Vista Drive in Gilbert, Ariz.

The groundbreaking ceremony, held on April 6, was attended by a large crowd, which included Gilbert Mayor Brigette Peterson, Councilmember Bobbi Buchli, Councilmember Jim Torgeson, Gilbert Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Sarah Watts, among others.

The construction will be led by Sigma Contracting, Upward Architects will serve as the project’s architect and Rick Engineering Company will serve as the civil engineering firm.

Nestled in the heart of the Mercy Gilbert medical district, the $125 million project will cover more than 11 acres. A two-story, flagship Starbucks with unique firepit feature and patio space on both levels will sit on front of Val Vista Drive. The development will also feature a two-story retail, restaurant, and office space, which has already attracted a variety of tenants, including Gallery Nails, Nautical Bowls, Live Hydration Spa, Prizm Dental, Singh Dhillon Pediatric Dentistry, and Willow Midwife.

“I love seeing developments provide well-planned solutions to needs within our community. This development includes two hotels that will provide necessary and quality hospitality choices for families and visitors of loved ones at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and the soon-to-open, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, just steps across the street,” said Mayor Brigette Peterson. “This development also includes a one-of-a-kind two-story Starbucks that will allow hospital staff, visitors, and community members to grab a quality beverage, relax at a table or sit by a firepit on one of the patios. Diversified Partners continues to bring forth quality developments within the community.”

The building design will feature a unique concept, similar to Diversified Partner’s project on Scottsdale Road and Chauncey Lane (where the restaurant Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers is located). Restaurant drive-thrus actually go through the building.

The eastern half of the property will be home to a five-story Residence Inn by Marriott, a Homewood Suites Hotel and a regional headquarters for Bell Bank on an exquisitely designed, three-story bank building. Other popular tenants that will be joining the Mercy Center include Chipotle and 7-Eleven.

“We’re excited to bring this legacy property to the Gilbert community,” said Walt Brown Jr., CEO and founder of Diversified Partners. “Our goal is to create a destination that meets the needs of the growing community and enhances the surrounding area.”

As one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, the Town of Gilbert has seen substantial population growth and is home to 285,756 residents. Its population makes it the sixth-largest municipality in the state and the most populated incorporated town in the nation.

This development marks Diversified Partners’ continued growth in the Arizona market, following the success of other projects in Metro Phoenix, including its recent $100 million investment in commercial real estate in Glendale, Ariz.

NAI Horizon facilitates $4.5M disposition of Oro Valley building that will be a community center

News & Updates

by | Apr 6, 2023 | News & Updates

     PHOENIX, ARIZONA (April 6, 2023) – The residents of Sun City Oro Valley are beneficiaries of a new community center, thanks to a sale facilitated by NAI Horizon.

First Vice President Michael Gaida represented the seller, Oro Valley Holdings, LLC, in the $4.5 million disposition of the Copper Health Oro Valley property at 1119 E. Rancho Vistoso Blvd., in Oro Valley.

The buyer was the Sun City Oro Valley Community Association.

The seller was in contract negotiations with a national skilled nursing operator for several months that never materialized in a sale, Gaida said. The ownership group decided to shutter the business, transfer patients, and sell the real estate alone.

There was immediate interest in the real estate from several rehabilitation operators looking for space. Sun City Oro Valley was land-locked on commercial building space, making the property that much more attractive.

“Mark Wade, General Manager of the community association, had been actively seeking properties that could be used as a civic center for activities; this property and layout fit perfectly for the needs of the neighborhood association,” Gaida said. “Mark had stiff competition. There were three other active buyer letters of intent to purchase within the first two weeks of listing. Mark came through for his community and neighbors.”

The building, which served as a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, totals 22,260 SF.
