by Peter Madrid | Feb 7, 2023 | News & Updates

Scottsdale, Ariz. (Feb. 7, 2023) –Land Advisors Organization recently named Pinal County land specialist Trey Davis as the firm’s Rookie of the Year for 2022. Davis, 24, helped to facilitate over $220 million in closings in fiscal year 2022, his first full year as an advisor with Land Advisors Organization’s Pinal County team.

Davis joined the research team as an intern with Land Advisors Organization in May 2019. Since then, he graduated from Arizona State University and worked with various teams across the organization until joining Kirk McCarville as the firm’s second Pinal County specialist. Together, the team is deeply involved with the rapidly growing industrial market in Casa Grande and throughout Pinal County, Arizona.

“We are very proud of Trey’s accomplishments as one of your newest advisors. He certainly earned the 2022 Rookie of the Year recognition,” said Greg Vogel, founder and CEO of Land Advisors Organization. “Trey showed incredible promise as an intern and has landed on the team where he is excelling. We’re grateful for the mentorship he receives working with Kirk and wanted to recognize his diligence, helping to establish Pinal County as a new economic hub in Arizona.”

In recent years, Pinal County has become a highly attractive emerging market for the industrial, commercial and residential building sectors, showing strong economic and job growth. Major manufacturers, including Lucid Motors, Nikola, Kohler, Chang Chun Chemical, and Air Products, have announced coming to or expanding facilities in the area. And, with its proximity to the TSMC factory and Intel’s East Valley expansion, semiconductor supply chain companies, and the Tier 1 and Tier 2 electric vehicle manufacturer suppliers are following suit to have facilities in the area. Davis and McCarville have been key players in facilitating many of Pinal County’s most significant industrial deals in 2022.

“Trey has been an incredible addition to our Pinal County team of advisors,” said Kirk McCarville, CCIM, managing advisor of Land Advisors Organization’s Casa Grande team. “His enthusiasm for the transformation and new opportunities that are coming to our community combined with his ability to understand the goals of buyers and sellers while applying his knowledge of the market has been instrumental in helping to facilitate closings. He’s a great partner to have!”

NAI Horizon facilitates acquisition of Hagerman RV Village in popular, scenic Idaho location

News & Updates

by Peter Madrid | Feb 7, 2023 | News & Updates

PHOENIX, ARIZONA (Feb. 7, 2023) – NAI Horizon represented the buyer in the acquisition of an RV park that includes several buildings and additional acreage in Hagerman, Idaho.

Andrew Warner, CCIM, First Vice President with NAI Horizon’s Manufactured Housing & RV Park Investments Group, represented Hagerman RV Village LLC c/o Michael Kissinger in the purchase of Hagerman RV Village.

The asset comprises 60 RV spaces, 10 cabins, a warehouse and building that the previous owner used for storage for his construction company, and an adjacent 9.6-acre parcel of land. The property sits on 9.13 acres. The land provides an opportunity for the new owner to develop an additional 70 to 80 RV spaces or add amenities.

“The previous owner kept rates low, providing tremendous value to customers with monthly rates $100 to $200 less than the competition in the area commanding a long wait list,” Warner said. “The new owner is eager to continue this legacy and improve upon the park, eventually building it out to offer even more spaces to visitors.”

Hagerman RV Village amenities include a rec room, Wi-Fi service, a playground, restrooms, ice cream and ice sales, and mature trees. It is in close proximity to the popular fishing destination of Snake River and is surrounded by scenic drives, hiking trails, hot springs, and the historic Hagerman Fossil Beds.

The seller was Edward Wickham of Hagerman, Idaho.

Valley developer buys 24 acres in Casa Grande, plans to build Casa Grande Commerce Park

News & Updates

by Peter Madrid | Jan 25, 2023 | News & Updates

Land Advisors Organization facilitates $2.05 million deal, representing the buyer and the seller of the parcel, for planned speculative industrial development.

Scottsdale, Ariz. (Jan. 25, 2023) – Dale Cavan, a Phoenix-based developer, closed on the purchase of a 24-acre parcel in Casa Grande, with plans to build a new commerce park that will feature a series of speculative buildings under 70,000 SF to accommodate industrial needs in the area. The buyer paid $2,057,851 for the land located at the SEC Thornton Road and Ash Avenue, which will become the Casa Grande Commerce Park.

Kirk McCarville, CCIM, and Trey Davis with Land Advisors Organization represented the buyer and the seller in the transaction. The deal fetched $85,743.79 per acre.

“The buyer has been successful with multiple industrial developments of this type across the Valley and recognized a need for existing industrial space in Pinal County,” McCarville said. “Thanks to the site’s unique layout, which accommodates their product perfectly, the land price and the market’s growing needs for this type of product we were able to complete the transaction and welcome a new industrial park to Casa Grande.”

This marks the third land closing with approvals for speculative industrial development in Casa Grande. The city has received significant attention nationally and internationally recently due to announcements by major manufacturers coming to or expanding facilities in the area, including Lucid Motors, Nikola, Kohler, Chang Chun Chemical, and Air Products. And, with its proximity to the TSMC factory and Intel’s expansion, there continues to be tremendous interest from companies in the semiconductor supply chain and the Tier 1 and Tier 2 electric vehicle manufacturer suppliers following suit to have facilities in the area. Since 2000, Casa Grande’s population has doubled, making it the largest city and tax base in Pinal County.

Industry leader launches unique commercial real estate vendor enterprise, Mazzon Industries

News & Updates

by Peter Madrid | Jan 23, 2023 | News & Updates

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (Jan. 23, 2023) ‒ Industry leader Daniel Mazzon has announced the launch of a new company that provides sales and operations representation for commercial real estate vendors in Arizona.

The company, Mazzon Industries, begins its venture by signing two major clients: Ace Building Maintenance and RestorationHQ. The demand to open other lines of representation for the security, landscaping, parking, and roofing industries has already hit the negotiation stages.

Daniel Mazzon

“I will do something in 2023 that has not been done before in commercial real estate vendor contracting – representing the best of the best,” said Mazzon, President of Mazzon Industries. “I’m undertaking a mission of representing two businesses known for being the best in their class.”

The mission of Mazzon Industries is to provide building owners and managers with one point of contact for their property’s needs. To ensure all clients receive the best-in-class service, Mazzon Industries will only do what its slogan proclaims – represent the best.

“By only representing the best the market has to offer, you are able to attract and retain a like-minded client,” Mazzon said.

With RestorationHQ, Mazzon will focus on its commercial office growth. With Ace Building Maintenance, he will focus on its customer success.

“The priority of Mazzon Industries is to make commercial assets and businesses appreciate in value,” Mazzon explained. “I value our clients and I want to give them the best the market has to offer. By doing so, Mazzon Industries will be a product offered to decision-makers that the competition can’t match.”

Ace Building Maintenance is the largest locally family-run janitorial company in Arizona. Ace provides commercial cleaning services for more than 100 management companies across Metro Phoenix. Ace Building Maintenance has been in business for 44 years and is located in Glendale, Arizona.

RestorationHQ has proven to be the leader in its industry, spending the last 8 years focusing on commercial-only emergency services including but not limited to water mitigation, fire damages, mold remediation, asbestos abatement, and biohazard. Its commitment to providing real solutions to its clients, rather than working for the insurance company, has proven successful and driven its growth to a new location in Tucson, Arizona.

A native of Phoenix, Mazzon spent the past six years representing a janitorial firm and quickly rose to become one of the biggest commercial real estate contracting names in Arizona. Throughout his career, Mazzon has been known for his outside-the-box- thinking, marketing efforts, and ability to build/keep relationships.

In 2017 and 2018 he was IREM Greater Phoenix Young Professional of the Year and also BOMA Greater Phoenix Young Professional of the Year.

“I look forward to bringing an exceptional amount of value to the commercial real estate space in 2023,” Mazzon said.

Commercial services firm EHS Restoration celebrates 15 years of serving the community

News & Updates

by Peter Madrid | Jan 17, 2023 | News & Updates

MESA, ARIZ. (Jan. 18, 2023) – Partnership and loyalty are two words that define EHS Restoration. “We strive to be a vital partner rather than a vendor with our clients,” EHS President, Keith Pomonis explains. “Every problem has a solution. We thrive on being that solution.”

As it celebrates its 15^th anniversary, EHS Restoration has its eye on strategic local and national market expansion as it implements and aligns new infrastructure.

EHS Restoration President Keith Pomonis (right) and his son Tony.

“Our company’s goal year after year is to grow in every way possible. As the pace of technological change quickens, we actively ensure our employees have the right skills and equipment to thrive,” Pomonis said. “We are in a highly competitive industry. Our success is measured by our dedication to being the best in terms of our team, our technologies, and most importantly how we treat our clients.”

EHS Restoration became Arizona’s primary restoration company to partner beyond state lines when natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires wreaked havoc across the country. Its highly-trained catastrophe response team jumps into action multiple times each year to provide emergency relief to states including California, Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Oregon, and Texas when they are exposed to substantial fire, water, storm, and ice damage from natural disasters.

“It was an easy decision,” Pomonis said. “For most local restoration companies, the geographic span of its work is limited to the Valley. We had the opportunity to be a partner outside the state and we seized it. The trips are difficult and uncomfortable, but they are a huge source of pride within our organization.”

Its ability to exceed new client expectations has furthered its connections in the industry and has led to enormous opportunities. Not only has EHS Restoration taken on major new clients, but it also expanded its workforce by more than 25 percent in 2022.

Pomonis adds that each EHS Restoration employee is passionate about their essential role in providing superior service to its clients, utilizing the most advanced equipment and improved restoration practices to ensure the client benefits from the most updated approaches.

“We are proud to be regarded as a well-established and esteemed company in the emergency restoration industry and in our community. Our exceptional customer service and quality of work have led to national exposure and recognition,” Pomonis said. “The combination of charitable efforts and high standards of work has helped us garner industry awards and honors. But what matters most to us as a veteran- and family-owned company is providing the best results for all of our clients.”

Founded in 2008, EHS Restoration embraces a dedicated philanthropic mission as a supportive member of the community. The company as a whole takes part in supporting non-profit and charitable organizations such as the Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospitals, Phoenix Children’s Hospitals, and the Arizona Burn Foundation

“We pride ourselves on operating with integrity and enthusiasm,” Pomonis said. “Our company foundation is built upon a set of core values that all employees embody and uphold on a daily basis to ensure outstanding service, commitment to go above and beyond, a sense of ownership in every step of the process, and respect and compassion for our clients, who truly are our partners.”

W&W Structural celebrates 35 years; forges ahead buoyed by rebranding, growth initiatives

News & Updates

by Peter Madrid | Jan 17, 2023 | News & Updates

TEMPE, ARIZ. (Jan. 18, 2023) – After 35 years of collaborating with more than 100 clients on more than 5,000 projects, W&W Structural is rebranding and expanding to continue providing structural steel services to an ever-growing construction market in Arizona and the Southwest.

W&W is a full-service structural steel, iron, and architectural/ornamental iron fabrication and erection firm founded in 1987. Its rebranding efforts include a new logo, a new website, and an in-house promotion and education initiative.

“Since 1987, we have been committed to personal growth and exemplary workmanship,” said W&W Structural President | Owner Jodi Malenfant. “By continuing to invest in our people, W&W maintains a stable, skilled, and productive workforce. As part of our growth plans, prospects will now be able to apply directly on our new website. This will greatly help with our hiring needs.”

W&W Structural has also created a structure in which employees can grow organically within the company. This includes field employees moving into positions such as estimators or project managers.

“We are always looking for new, qualified field workers, foremen, and employees to expand our company,” said Michael Gillard, the firm’s structural steel estimator.

The company was named W&W Architectural Metals, Inc., when it opened its doors. The name was changed to W&W Structural, Inc., in 2010 to best reflect its marquee leadership and operation experience. In 2019 it became a full-service structural steel contractor by staffing and training its skilled erection workers.

Notable projects include:

Tempe Transit Center;
Queen Creek Fire Stations Nos. 2 and 5;
Deer Valley Airport Air Traffic Control Tower;
Mark Kia auto dealership, Scottsdale, Arizona.

“W&W has been an outstanding contributor to the commercial construction industry. It has supported training programs, workforce development efforts and more,” said Tom Dunn, President of the Arizona Builders Alliance (ABA). “W&W is an integral part of the Arizona commercial construction industry.”

Jodi Malenfant

W&W Structural service lines include steel detailing, steel fabrication, steel erection, and steel management. Project experience is in healthcare, hospitality, transportation, education, federal work, industrial, multi-family, office, recreation, religious, residential, and retail.

W&W Structural is actively involved with industry groups including the Arizona Subcontractors Association, ABA, NAWIC, AZCREW, and AZSPE. Philanthropy is also a core value of the company.

“After 35 years in the Valley, we value giving back to the community,” Malenfant said. “Our company cherishes the time spent improving the lives around us. We are looking to make a real lasting difference in our community. As such, we support various organizations through donation drives, fundraisers, and sponsorships.”

Malenfant recently participated in “Over the Edge,” an annual event that benefits Special Olympics of Arizona. Participants repel down the side of the 27-story CityScape tower in Downtown Phoenix, challenging them to gain the courage to try something out of their comfort zone, similar to how a person with intellectual disabilities may feel when participating in sports.

“It was a thrilling experience and something that I will never forget especially since it supports a great cause,” Malenfant said.
