Fidelity National Title Agency celebrates retirement of mentor Diane Carpenter, promotion of her protégé, Kristina Gooding  

News & Updates

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (JUNE 17, 2021) – Fidelity National Title Agency is pleased to announce a passing of the torch celebration with the retirement of industry mentor Vice President Diane Carpenter and the promotion of her protégé Kristina Gooding to Vice President/Branch Manager of the firm’s Northgate Commercial office.

Carpenter, an industry veteran of 26 years, has been with Fidelity National Title since 2016. She retires as Branch Manager of the Northgate Commercial office, 14000 N. Pima Road in Scottsdale. During her career as a commercial escrow officer, Carpenter personally closed more than 8,000 transactions valued at more than $30 billion.

Carpenter’s experience includes executing sophisticated multiparty transactions for a wide range of projects. It includes master-planned communities as well as commercial, office, industrial, medical, hospitality, multi-family and large vacant land deals for owners, lenders, investors, developers and builders. She has also managed and coordinated major non-real estate escrows, including corporate mergers and acquisitions in addition to complex joint development agreements among various developers and homebuilders.

Gooding, who previously served as Assistant Vice President/Commercial Escrow Officer, is a 15-year industry veteran. She has been with Fidelity National Title for 5 years. Her new responsibilities will be to manage the Northgate Commercial branch, which includes managing personnel, profit and loss responsibility as well as other managerial responsibilities.

“Diane’s commitment to her craft has been exceptional, resulting in an expertise and accumulation of knowledge that ensures a legacy that will always be valued and remembered,” said Mary Lou Paulk, Fidelity National Title President/County Manager. “I want to thank Diane for her dedication to our company and wish her well as she moves forward and welcome Kristina to her new position.”

Kristina Gooding

“Kristina has demonstrated during her tenure with Fidelity innate leadership skills together with her superior technical knowledge in escrow and title making her the perfect person to lead this dynamic commercial team,” said Senior Vice President/Operations Manager Diane Day. “We are so excited that Kristina is ready for the new challenge as Diane heads into retirement. She has been mentored to take the lead and is eager to embrace it.”

Born and raised in the Chicago area, Gooding is a graduate of the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in business economics and served as a member of the Alpha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity.

Gooding honed her professional expertise through successfully executing transactions for multifamily, retail shopping centers, industrial, office, residential and vacant land.  Prior to working in title and escrow, Gooding previously managed a variety of new-build and reconstruction projects.

Gooding and her husband Jason have two daughters, Harper (7) and Evelyn (4). Away from the office she enjoys playing softball, reading, relaxing with her family and cheering on the Chicago Bears.

Carpenter is a member of the Arizona State Escrow Association. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Maine. She also holds a paralegal certificate from the Philadelphia Institute. In retirement, she plans to spend more time with her family in Maine.

“I love the quote, ‘The only constant in life Is change,’ because it’s so true,” Paulk said. “With change also comes opportunity. Kristina has been an exemplary employee with Fidelity since 2016.  She has acquired extensive commercial escrow and title experience while working as Diane’s protégé for the past 15 years.”

Liv Crossroads in Gilbert at more than 70 percent leased in continuation of strong demand for amenity-rich, community-oriented, luxury rental housing

GILBERT, ARIZ. (June 16, 2021) ‒ Development partners Liv Communities and Rockefeller Group recently celebrated a ribbon-cutting event of their fourth collaborative multi-family community in the Valley in the past nine years.

Local dignitaries and project team members were on hand for the ceremony held at Liv Crossroads, 445 E. Germann Road in Gilbert, Arizona. Occupancy of the first buildings took place in April, with strong leasing activity driven by strong demand for the community-oriented development. Demand is so strong that the community is already 70 percent leased. Final completion of the community is expected in February 2022.

     “It’s my privilege to thank what has turned into now, a real core team. We are a family, in a lot of ways,” said Liv Communities CEO Scott Brooks. “Rockefeller Group has helped us build the Liv presence here in the Valley. We rely on each other as partners. We have worked on several communities together. It’s been an incredible journey to build these relationships. Thanking each of these key folks is just the latest.”

When Liv Crossroads is complete, Liv Communities will have 900 rental homes in three communities in Gilbert that represent an investment of $150 million in the town, Brooks said.

Liv Crossroads features 356 units ranging in size from studios to three bedrooms. It comprises 19 buildings plus two amenity buildings that feature the office, resident Hub, co-working space and Liv Fit fitness center, all with 24-hour access to Liv residents.

Residents enjoy an over-sized heated resort-style pool and spa, on-site personal training and group fitness, indoor and outdoor community entertainment and recreation areas, and a “Bark Park” with pet-friendly social events.

Additional community amenities include rideshare pickup location, the “Mile Shy” Walking Trail, a community garden, a relaxing hammock garden, business center/conference room, outdoor fitness stations, package delivery lockers, a coffee bar, private garages, car care center, electric car charging stations and Wi-Fi in all amenity areas. Liv focuses on building a genuine community where residents have the opportunity to live a more fulfilling life and build lasting friendships.

Apartment amenities include granite countertops, patio storage, internet access points throughout the home, plank flooring, private patio/balcony, private master baths, detached garages available to rent, stainless steel Energy Star appliances and Liv Smart home automation.

“Today is a celebration day; this Liv development is a joint venture we’re really proud to be a part of,” said Thomas Weeks, Executive Vice President and Head of Development for Rockefeller Group. “This is a great community and a great place to live. This is also a great place to work. Gilbert’s growth is proof positive of that.”

Whitneybell Perry is the architect of record and Clark Wayland is the general contractor. Notable subcontractors include Terrascape Consulting, RC Interiors and Anderson Landscape Design.

“The first time I toured a Liv community in Gilbert, I said to my husband, ‘Can we live in a Liv community?’” said Town of Gilbert Mayor Brigette Peterson. “I hope you have the best of luck in our community.”

Local dignitaries and project team members were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony held at Liv Crossroads, 445 E. Germann Road in Gilbert, Arizona.

NAI Horizon’s John Filli represents seller in disposition of 5-acre parcel in Rumsey Ridge Development site in Payson, Arizona  

NAI Horizon’s John Filli represents seller in disposition of 5-acre parcel in Rumsey Ridge Development site in Payson, Arizona  

News & Updates

by | Jun 16, 2021 | News & Updates

     PHOENIX, ARIZ. (June 16, 2021) – NAI Horizon represented the seller in the disposition of a 5-acre parcel of the 26.1-acre Planned Area Development-zoned Rumsey Ridge Development site near the intersection of State Route 87 and Malibu Drive in Payson, Arizona.

NAI Horizon Senior Vice President John Filli, SIOR, represented Fieldbrook Payson Partners, LLCA, a Utah limited liability company in the $455,000 sale. The buyer is  Christopher J. Martin and/or Assignee of Granite Bay, California. At close of escrow, the property was assigned by Christopher J. Martin and/or Assignee to Widdershins LLC, an Arizona limited liability company.

The buyer, an investor/developer, has a first right of refusal with an option to purchase Phases 2 and 3 of the northern half of the Rumsey Ridge Development.

“As I look back at the effort it took to complete such a sales transaction opportunity, I am reminded that  ‘opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work,’ ” Filli said.

The subject land parcel is situated west of SR 87, immediately adjacent to the west and north property lines of the Payson Wal-Mart, on the east side of the Forest Hills Condominium subdivision, and north of SR 260. The proposed development has a total site area of approximately 1.167 million SF (26.1 acres) made up of one large parcel and one very small parcel.

In July 2009 a developer had plans to develop the property as a multi-family residential project with a maximum number of dwelling units per acre with neighborhood amenities located throughout the property that were to include parks, open space, clubhouse, and pool.

In moving forward with the project, the developer-initiated discussions with Planning, Zoning and Public Works personnel and learned that an approved Rezoning/PAD  Overlay would be required to allow for increased density and innovative internal roadway sections.

On December 30, 2013, the Rumsey Ridge Development property was purchased by TTLC Timber Ridge LLC, a foreign Arizona limited liability company, for $2.147 million on a seller carry-back basis. During the transaction, the seller was represented by NAI Horizon’s Filli; the buyer was self-represented.

In early 2018 the property was repossessed via trustee’s sale by the original seller (Fieldbrook Payson Partners LLC). In late 2018 the 26.1-acre Rumsey Ridge land site once again became available for purchase through NAI Horizon (Filli), this time with PAD zoning in place.

“In looking back (from July of 2009 to the present), I can honestly say that ‘the man who gets ahead is the one who does more than necessary – and keeps on doing it,’” Filli added.

     PHOENIX, ARIZONA (June 9, 2021) – NAI Horizon Managing Director Denise Nunez and Associate Victoria Filice represented the seller in the $17.5 million investment sale of Envy Self-Storage & RV in Gilbert, Arizona.

The Nunez Self Storage Group represented the seller, Arizona entity 202 Storage, LLC. The buyer was JLL Arizona Self Storage, LLC, also an Arizona entity.

The current asset totals 127,745 NRSF and 757 units. It includes a mix of standard drive-up units, climate-controlled units, covered parking spaces and uncovered parking spaces. The sale included an in-progress expansion of the RV parking, which will add 39 covered spaces and three uncovered spaces. The asset is at 18612 S. Lindsay Road in Gilbert.

“This was an off-market deal where the Nunez Self Storage Group identified the property for a California 1031 Exchange buyer. The owners had not planned to sell. However, this showstopper facility commanded an above-market offer which presented the owners with a unique selling opportunity,” Nunez said.

Envy Self-Storage & RV is located at Lindsay and Germann roads in one of the Valley’s fast-growing municipalities. It features boat and RV storage and is located near major highways in the bustling Southeast Valley.

Property amenities include 24-hour security monitoring, covered loading and unloading, electronic gate access, a fully fenced and well-lit yard, and ground-level units.

Phoenix Kidder Mathews healthcare team closes on trio of West Valley MOBs totaling $32.85M

Phoenix Kidder Mathews healthcare team closes on trio of West Valley MOBs totaling $32.85M

News & Updates

by | Jun 7, 2021 | News & Updates

     PHOENIX, ARIZONA (June 7, 2021) – The Phoenix Kidder Mathews healthcare team continues to capitalize on the robust medical office building market in the West Valley, representing the sellers in the disposition of three assets in the second quarter of 2021 totaling $32.85 million.

Kidder Mathews sold the properties within six weeks of each other after getting them each to, at least, 97 percent occupancy. Two were conversions to medical; one was a single-story, garden-style medical office campus.

The team of Senior Vice President Michael Dupuy and Vice President Rachael Thompson represented the sellers in each instance.

“All three of these projects are strategically located with great drive-up and building signage options,” Thompson said. “The medical market is seeing an increase in the demand for buildings like these: excellent payor mix, easy access to main roads/freeways and well maintained. Patients and tenants gravitate to buildings like these.”

A noteworthy trend is the conversion of retail centers to medical office. Last year Kidder Mathews started the process of leasing up Cornerstone Medical Center, a 20,235 SF repurposed Maytag appliance store in Goodyear on behalf of Whiteboard Development.

Within 14 months, the project was fully leased with tenants competing for the final spaces. Tenants included Cigna, ResCare, Valley Sleep Center and the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD). The project was built by Colin Brown of Whiteboard Development Co., his third retail-to-medical office conversion project in Greater Phoenix.

“Identifying soft spots in the market is one thing, but you have to do your homework upfront on the physical asset itself because not every retail or office property is equipped to be a medical office building,” Brown said.

The asset is strategically located in Goodyear, one of the West Valley’s fastest-growing communities. It offers a quick two-minute drive to the I-10 freeway, providing easy access to housing, entertainment and retail.

The Abrazo West Campus is located within walking distance and the project is not encumbered with any use restrictions.

“The buyer profiles for each of these deals were unique. The buildings, however, were more similar in the fact they were all located in the West Valley, well-designed and well-leased. We’ve seen strong interest from investors that historically owned other product types,” Dupuy said. “Demand is high for medical office. An aging and growing population in Metro Phoenix continue to support this. There’s more to come.”

The deals:

  • Cornerstone Medical Center, 20,235 SF, $7.65 million, Goodyear, Arizona;
  • Talavi Medical Plaza, 35,893 SF, $10 million, Glendale, Arizona;
  • Thunderbird Palms, 52,013 SF, $15.25 million, Glendale, Arizona.
