PHOENIX, ARIZ. (June 9, 2026) – Empire Paving & Maintenance, a leading Arizona-based construction and maintenance company, is proud to announce the opening of its new office at 1902 E. Washington St.
The move marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth and reflects its ongoing commitment to collaboration, efficiency, and future expansion.
Previously headquartered in Tempe near Tempe Marketplace, Empire operated out of two adjoining office spaces. However, as the company expanded, the split layout created challenges for team collaboration and operational efficiency.

“Our growth over the past few years made it clear that we needed a space where our team could work together under one roof,” said Alisha Wright, Business Development Manager at Empire Paving & Maintenance. “Bringing everyone into a single, cohesive environment was a priority for us. Not just for productivity, but for maintaining the strong culture we’ve built.”
The new, two-story facility offers just under 3,000 SF of modern office space designed to accommodate the company’s current team while providing flexibility for future expansion. The building includes open workspace areas, private offices, a conference and training space, and collaborative amenities that foster communication and teamwork. It also features shared areas like a reception space and coffee bar, an essential feature for the team, Wright said.
After exploring options, Wright said, Empire Paving & Maintenance management discovered the current property and connected with broker Kurt Kerner of Kidder Mathews during a networking event at the Waste Management Open.
“He quickly showed us the building and we immediately knew it was the right fit. The space was built by an architecture firm but had never been occupied, making us the first tenants,” Wright said.
The company customized the space to better suit its operational needs, including upgrading flooring to ensure durability and ease of maintenance in a construction-focused environment.
The new office now houses the company’s core administrative and estimating teams, while its yard and equipment operations remain in Chandler. The company is actively exploring opportunities to secure a more centralized yard location to further streamline logistics as growth continues.
“This space is exactly what we needed at the right time,” Wright added. “It not only supports our current operations, but also positions us for the next phase of growth. Over the next five years, we anticipate expanding our team and fully utilizing the flexibility this building provides.”
The move represents more than just a new address; it symbolizes Empire’s continued momentum and commitment to delivering high-quality service across the Valley. The transition has been met with enthusiasm from employees and their families, underscoring the company’s people-first approach and strong community culture.
