Cawley Architects sheds contemporary design light on Hawkins Design Group’s new offices

Cawley Architects sheds contemporary design light on Hawkins Design Group’s new offices

News & Updates

by | May 5, 2020 | News & Updates

      PHOENIX, ARIZ.  (May 5, 2020) – When the Town of Gilbert Development Services Department points to an example of a light industrial building that meets and exceeds its design standards, it looks no further than the Hawkins Design Group’s office/warehouse, which was designed by award-winning firm Cawley Architects.

Hawkins Design Group is a professional electrical engineering firm that also specializes in photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems. The $3 million, 12,275 SF building is a mixed-use project with business office operations (6,000 SF) as the primary occupancy along with a large warehouse area (6,275 SF).

“This project consists of corporate offices for one of the Valley’s most successful family-owned electrical engineering firms. It’s a point of pride that a consulting engineering firm could build its own building that is an ongoing company resource as well as an example of its professional accomplishments,” said Cawley President/Founder Sherman Cawley, AIA, SIOR.

A unique steel-framed canopy over the main entry glass wall defines the entrance to the building. This feature is replicated over the office windows to enhance the façade of the building. Similarly, steel beams continue around the side of the building to cover the large outdoor patio making it an ideal place for group gatherings during any season.

As an energy-efficient feature, and to display their solar business, they installed photo-voltaic solar panels on the building roof and parking structures.

The main interior focus of the project is the open space office area, where project managers work in a collaborative office environment highlighted by outstanding light fixtures. The office area is supported by an impressive conference room and a flexible break room area that opens onto a large, expansive covered patio. Unique contemporary lighting schemes are featured in each private office to illustrate the variety of possible fixtures and effects that a customer may choose to showcase in their business.

Cawley Architects worked closely with Dave Hawkins and his executive team to incorporate favorite decorative themes into the project. These include an enormous tank of saltwater fish, photos of fishing expeditions, and other marine-themed mementos.

The lobby, conference room, open office area and break room floors have been painted a stunning deep blue color reflecting owner Dave Hawkins’ love of the ocean and its bounty. Subtle blue and white accent lighting can be observed throughout the interior as well.

Additionally, the lobby, conference room, open office area and break room floors have been painted a stunning deep blue color reflecting Hawkins’ love of the ocean and its bounty. Subtle blue and white accent lighting can be observed throughout the interior as well.

“We began looking at pre-owned buildings nearly 3 years ago when we realized we needed a larger workspace for our team,” Hawkins said. “After touring many existing buildings and realizing that none of them ‘fit the bill’, we approached Cawley Architects to begin to investigate the potential of designing a ground-up.

“The incredible team at Cawley Architects not only accepted the task, but created a space far beyond anything we could have imagined. By taking simple ideas that our management team had about how we wanted the space to feel, Cawley was able to design our building as a showroom for our clients while taking into account the needs and desires of our entire workforce, creating a ‘home away from home’ for our team to enjoy,” Hawkins added.

Other features of the project, 1140 W. Harwell Road, include a secured yard and a large warehouse area for Hawkins’ vehicles and storage of supplies.

The general contractor for the project was Kennedy Design Build.

LivGenerations Ahwatukee moms to be honored with ‘drive-through parade’ on Mother’s Day  

LivGenerations Ahwatukee moms to be honored with ‘drive-through parade’ on Mother’s Day  

News & Updates

by | May 4, 2020 | News & Updates

      TEMPE, ARIZONA (May 4, 2020) – The message is simple, yet moving: “To the World you are a Mother but to your family you are the World! Happy Mother’s Day.”

That message will be on signs as family members of LivGenerations Ahwatukee residents honor their mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers with a “drive-through parade” on Mother’s Day, May 10.

LivGenerations is a senior living, independent living, and memory care community at 15815 S. 50th St., in Phoenix, with 137 residents.

 “Normally we do a Mother’s Day brunch and tea,” said Vibrant Living Director Nila Soliz. “This is a new event because of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the daughters of a resident came up with the idea. We then added to it.”

LivGenerations officials sent out 105 invitations and received more than 50 confirmations from the families.

Family members will gather at 9 a.m. at the Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, 5005 E. Chandler Blvd. The parade will wind through the community beginning at 10 a.m. For residents who can’t leave their apartment to attend the event in person, the parade will be recorded and shown to them later, officials said.

The parade will be live-streamed and social distancing will be a priority.

A sign-making event is scheduled Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Tuk Café at the LivGenerations community. The signs will be displayed in front of the building then delivered to the moms’ apartments after the parade.

LivGenerations Ahwatukee last year embarked on a partnership with the National Charity League, Inc., a non-profit organization that fosters mother-daughter relationships in a philanthropic manner committed to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences.

The National Charity League hand-made more than 200 floral arrangements and will give them to LivGenerations Ahwatukee mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers to help them celebrate Mother’s Day.

7th annual event lets teams compete for bragging rights and cash

 

     PHOENIX, ARIZ. (April 28, 2020) – The 7th REIAC/Rockefeller Group Challenge will again offer a cash prize to a winning team of graduating students from Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business, Masters of Real Estate Development (MRED) program – with a new twist.

This year’s competition will be held via Zoom because of the stay-at-home restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event is May 6 and begins at 4:15 p.m. The presentation is from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. with voting and announcement of the winning team at 5:30 p.m.

“Zoom in, watch, and vote. REIAC’s Program Committee and Board were determined to find a way to hold the Challenge,” said REIAC Southwest President Dave Kross.

This year the focus is on Danelle Plaza. Located at SWC of Mill Avenue and Southern in Tempe, it is a subdivided, 1960s retail center known for the Yucca Taproom with numerous individual building owners. It is partially owned by the City of Tempe.

The MRED students were asked to make proposals for redevelopment of the10.8-acre center area that includes 3.1 acres of vacant land Tempe owns and 7.07 acres encircling the city-owned property which is common area under control of the Danelle Plaza CC&Rs. This area is owned by all Danelle Plaza owners as an undivided interest making a solution very complicated.

“This is their thesis – their culminating experience requiring use of all they have learned,” said Mark Stapp, Executive Director of the MRED program. “There are wicked problems that test them and would challenge anyone, even the most experienced of us.”

The Novus Innovation District in Tempe was the focus of the three teams competing in last year’s challenge. Capturing top honors was the Original Company for its project, Karsten. Original Company garnered $1,000 each for team members Jason Wagner, Lindsey Campbell, Tanner Weekes and Wade Troeger.

Each team is allotted 10 minutes to present a development solution for a storied piece of Arizona commercial real estate, followed by questions from the audience. Audience members will vote to choose the winning team after the presentations, awarding each winning team member a $1,000 check up to $6,000.

“The Rockefeller Group is honored to participate in what has become an annual tradition that has provided additional motivation for MRED students to be selected as one of the top three teams to compete in the Challenge,” said Mark Singerman, Past President of the REIAC Southwest Chapter and Vice President/Regional Director-Arizona for The Rockefeller Group, the event’s title sponsor.

“The inspiring and creative solutions the teams have presented at the Challenge over the years demonstrate what a fabulous job Mark Stapp and his staff have done in preparing the students for careers in real estate development and investment,” Singerman said.

The 2020 event is free for public viewing. Registration is required for the REIAC/Rockefeller Group Challenge by visiting reiacsouthwest.org or logging in to asu.zoom.us/j/281412401.
