Introducing an all-new PTK
T
here may be, literally, tons of concrete, steel and dirt in the commercial real estate industry, but describing the foundations of a great development is incomplete without the people and relationships that precede such things. In fact, the two are so interdependent that AZ Big Media decided to expand the typical “People to Know” publication it has put out every year since 2008 to include projects. Thus, I present the 2014 edition of “People and Projects to Know.” In this magazine, you will find the leaders in their fields – as well as up and comers – next to the biggest established buildings and those that are still under construction but already making a big impact on the state. We have also compiled a snazzy centerfold featuring the 15 most influential projects in Arizona, as well as the most important infrastructure and entertainment and retail developments that have come through the pipeline over the years. I hope you enjoy learning more about the people and projects within this issue as much as I did, and please don’t forget to nominate deserving industry professionals and outstanding projects next year.

Sometimes, we get caught up in the namesake or the press it might bring us to land such a big deal. If you are not a fit, generally the project will be plagued with challenges and ill communication...That’s not to say I don’t have a “make it work” attitude, but I find I have better success stories when it was a natural fit than a forced one.

Many times these differences are measured in very small increments, so my goal is to have a career long enough to see the small impacts add up to a significant legacy. That, and I am dying to do a high-rise tower.

Perception of design shifted dramatically 14 years ago with programs like “Trading Space” and “Design on a Dime.” In design, managing expectations has always been a challenge, so when programs aired miraculous two-week transformations on shoestring budgets, the design world changed forever. It hit me in 2002, when I met with a client to discuss a large corporate renovation. He presented a residential-type sketch including faux painting and crown molding and wanted it completed in two weeks.

years with company: 34 years in re: 37 responsibilities: Geotechnical division manager. toughest challenge: Representing my self-interest when negotiating to purchase the company. After working for the former owners for over 24 years, it’s akin to telling your parents, ‘Thanks for all your support, but I don’t really need you anymore.’ I overcame that challenge when, daily, our employees would ask if we had closed the deal. You begin to realize you are making this change as much for them as for yourself. Professional accomplishment: When a client thanks you. Helping appreciative people is rewarding; getting paid to help is icing on the cake.

As this is an area where I have recognized expertise, I was asked to review it and quickly became convinced the initiative was ill-conceived. Although many of my principal clients and colleagues were on the “other side,” I assumed a lead role in convincing others to oppose and, ultimately, defeat it. It was not fun being in opposition to so many folks I like and respect but, ultimately, I knew I could not stand by and watch while an asset of such importance to our state and the public schools was placed in jeopardy.

The toughest part of that is admitting it, to yourself and others. In several of these situations, there was no way you could fake it. Without knowing the employees, I reached out to each of them and trusted the people that I was asked to lead — I asked them for their help, understanding and patience. They always rallied and always help me and themselves to be far more successful than they already were.

Being a contrarian in effort and offering little rewards, it paid off when the market began its recovery. sales advice: Taking expertise to a level that cannot be compared.

I chose instead to research the developers who had the kind of operation and reputation I wanted to be a part of.

PROJECTS TO KNOW
T
his year, AZ Big Media staff decided to introduce the inaugural section for outstanding projects into this issue of “People and Projects to Know.” After dozens of pages about the amazing leaders in the commercial real estate industry, it only made sense to give a nod to the projects these people and their companies bring to Arizona. Behind every great project in the following pages are hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dedicated people you didn’t meet in the first half of this publication. This is our way to congratulate them. Sometimes these people work around the clock to make hundreds of concrete pours (looking at you, Marina Heights) in order

to meet stringent deadlines while others unite communities and the public and private sectors in interesting ways. In these next few pages, you’ll encounter all of these things and some surprising facts along the way. The selection committee for this section chose among nominated projects and a few write-ins based on exemplary design, construction challenges, functionality and economic development. Because of this, you’ll see everything from bridges and commercial art installations to large, innovative industrial warehouses in the following pages. Narrowing down the volume of potential projects that could have made the cut this year was difficult, and we’ve merely scratched the surface with this issue. If there’s a project you think deserves a spot in the next issue, I encourage you to nominate projects during the next nomination cycle.

E M
The award-winning Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) includes 74KSF of exhibit space, 14KSF of office space, 6,700 SF of dining and conference space, 2KSF of classroom space, a 2KSF gift shop, a full-service kitchen and a 300-seat auditorium. The museum exhibit space had numerous requirements that needed to be met in order for the Smithsonian and other institutions to send their traveling exhibits to the MIM for display. Some of these requirements included maintaining the temperature in the space, within a degree, of 72 degrees and maintaining the relative humidity in the space at a constant 52 percent, give or take 2

percent. To achieve these standards, Ryan Companies US, Inc. and RSP Architects had to pay special attention to the building envelope design and construction. Extensive sustainable design and construction techniques were employed, including rain water harvesting, solar photovoltaic arrays on the roof and a “Rain Screen” façade detail that reduces heat buildup at the stone face. Ryan Companies US, Inc. used energy efficient electrical and mechanical equipment and worked with APS utility company to receive more than $77,000 in energy rebates that benefited the MIM. The project has utilized several procurement methods
in order to purchase materials from worldwide manufacturers for the purpose of maintaining the cultural requirements of each display.
uniquE FEaTuRES: The main benefactor Bob Ulrich, former CEO of Target Corporation, wanted the instruments to be surrounded by world-class design and technology. Visitors use a headset with a wireless belt pack—a system manufactured by Sennheiser, called GuidePORT—that transmits audio feeds that correspond with nearby exhibits. This audio and video system ensures that each guest will experience a taste of the culture that is the home territory of the 200+ instruments on display. ChallEnGES: The MIM’s
39-month schedule required close communication, including one with city staff that resulted in the timely acquisition of more than 40 permits. The site was challenging as it required rezoning. To maintain schedule, five separate bid packages were issued. The installation of the Indian Teak sandstone exterior created one of the most complex challenges. Part of a unique rain-screen system, each piece was laid out by crew and clipped onto a metal sub-structure in order.

Salt River Fields at Talking Stick The new home for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies provides the latest attributes for spring training, but its design was greatly influenced by more than just baseball. Situated on 144 acres on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, the complex consists of an 11,000seat ballpark, two individual team clubhouses, administrative offices, 18 practice fields and covered batting cages. Commissary, novelty, concession and restrooms are located throughout the complex. The facility also features a three-acre man-made lake that is used for irrigation of the fields.The site orientation of

the various baseball components and buildings harkens back to the concept of traditional Huhugam dwellings, arranged and carved from the land to create an intimate seating environment. In this setting, the architecture is designed to, at times, serve as a backdrop to the lush native landscape and other times reinforce the natural color palette and forms found in the community.

uniquE FEaTuRES: Salt River Fields represents the first Major League Baseball ballpark to be built on Native American sovereign land. Land is sacred to the Native American
community, and the project team was diligent in working to understand the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community’s tradition and culture. Future replanting of the native vegetation was important to the owner and to the project. Native vegetation was salvaged and cared for in a temporary nursery then replanted after completion. The stadium was delivered early and under-budget for the first game between the Diamondbacks and Rockies on Feb. 26, 2011. The two teams, collectively, saw a 60 percent increase in overall spring training attendance from the 2010 Spring Training season.It is the first spring training complex to earn LEED Gold Certification.

TopGolf at Riverwalk combines a number of traditional golf-centered elements in a interactive, full-scale experience on the Salt River PimaMaricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC). The three-level, 65KSF golf and entertainment facility includes 102 climate-controlled covered hitting bays using RFID technology for instantaneous ball location feedback and outfield targets with heavy gauge corrugated metal with manhole access. The facility features wood and aluminum ceiling elements, custom fixtures, stacked stone and roof trellises. In addition to more than 230 high-definition flatscreen televisions, the family-friendly entertainment complex provides golf club storage, locker rooms, multiple dining options, terrace/lounge/ bar areas with fire pits and 3KSF

dedicated to corporate or group events. Unique Features: All of the game experience is surrounded by unique architecture specifically design to represent and emphasize the heritage of the SRPMIC. Particular attention was paid to the patterning on major façade elements down to the fabrics chosen for furniture. Colors for the facility were specified based on a palette found in the natural surroundings of the region.
ChallEnGES: Coordination
of the multiple subcontractors, subconsultants and vendors proved to be very challenging, as all the equipment had to be perfectly positioned and integrated for the game to work correctly. The facility includes data and electrical systems to support more than 230 high-
definition flat-screen televisions, 102 gaming consoles and 102 electrical infrared heaters and a radio-frequency identification system to track player golf balls for scoring. Everything had to be sequenced into the construction schedule and meshed with the multiple disciplines in the field, which was critical as none of the parties involved in the project had a direct contractual relationship to each other.

Located at the threshold of the Melrose Neighborhood District in central Phoenix, the Gateway Monument creates a contemporary icon through the intervention of an “urban portal” embodying the character of an authentic mid-century modern aesthetic prevalent throughout the community. The architecture of the place inspired the pattern of the monument’s skin; an abstracted organic floral pattern inspired by the local indigenous flora, plasma cut into steel plate, and fused together to form a larger gradient image.

McCord Hall
E M
The W. P. Carey School of Business added a 129KSF ground-up building to its current facilities on the ASU Tempe campus. McCord Hall is the new home for the graduate, MBA and executive education programs. Defining the eastern edge of the business school district, the distinct wings of the new building frame the surrounding buildings and help define an outdoor plaza. A monumental, four-story arcade frames the entrance to the school from both sides of the campus at the northeast corner, while to the southwest, the plaza opens up to welcome visitors and the business school community. The
Z A
G I B
building supports 13 state-of-the-art classrooms, including nine tiered classrooms. The classrooms are quiet because of the under-floor air system. The under-floor displaced air system that cools the building pulls in more fresh air for the same or less energy than any other system on campus. Since the air flow originates at the floor and naturally rises upward as it warms, the system uses less energy, keeping occupants comfortable at reduced energy cost. The classrooms are designed for graduate teaching methods, space for student teams to work and lounges where students from various programs can study,
5 1 0 2 relax and network. McCord Hall set out to achieve ASU’s mission on building classrooms and learning environments that not only facilitate the various learning styles, but also the way students need to work when they enter their careers: collaboration, discussion and input.
uniquE FEaTuRES: The extensive
use of double-pane, low-e curtain walls and multi-story slot windows provides a connection within the building to the beautiful landscape and hardscape outside, along with natural light in almost every area of the building. McCord Hall was designed to be a reusable structure that can be re-purposed without having to be demolished for up to 100 years or more.
ChallEnGES: Major issues with
storm water were addressed through creative design solutions. The project was at a low topographical point of Tempe’s south campus and 18 acres of regional water outfall drained onto the site. The team arranged for underground storage tanks to be located under the existing sport fields adjacent to the building site to capture and retain overflow.

original facility. Architekton and 360 Architecture, the arena’s original design team, designed the arena to depict GCU’s commitment to educational advancements and future endeavors. To accomplish this, they included contemporary metallic painted wall panels, glass curtain walls and red brick. The red brick, which compliments the campus’ existing architectural style, finishes the exterior ground level. Moving vertical, the arena transitions to a modern look.

Sedona Red Rock High School Performing Arts The Sedona Performing Arts Center is the final portion of the construction and renovation project initiated by Sedona Oak Creek Unified School District and the community to expand its educational and cultural resources, while focusing on energy conservation. This project converted a 250-seat high school auditorium into a 750-seat multi-purpose performing arts center for the community. In keeping with the directive to foster conservation whenever possible, the construction team was intent on delivering a LEED certified project, including a 806-kilowatt photovoltaic system.
ChallEnGES: General contractor
Tutor Perini Building Corp. had to build on a fast-track schedule to minimize construction during the school year. The tight footprint of the site was another layer of difficulty. The campus is landlocked by neighborhoods and apartments. Its unique angles presented another challenge. The gem-shaped design of the structure has numerous leaning walls, none of which is plumb. To ensure success, Tutor Perini used BIM and clash detection software.

a pharmacy, additional emergency department space, along with a new cardiac catheterization lab, three new operating rooms, additional medical imaging capabilities and added surgical suites. To accommodate the new patient tower, Banner is also adding a central plant. Approximately 240 skilled construction jobs were created as a result of the project. Banner Estrella estimates 100 new associates will be hired for the tower opening. At
uniquE FEaTuRES: Banner Estrella’s new patient tower is the first structural concrete hospital to be built in metro Phoenix since the early 1980s. The decision to use concrete was based on several factors. Concrete structures offer: More versatility, including flexible floor plates, making renovations more cost-efficient and the floor space easily adaptable to the community’s changing health care needs; faster construction timelines and lower material costs; and significant structural advantages, including dampening vibration, which is critical when operating sensitive medical equipment. The construction team earned top safety honors from the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health and the project is designated a Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) STAR Site.

ChallEnGES: The new patient tower
is larger than the existing tower, which posed unique challenges on the site; including re-routing circulation, fire department access and sensitivity to the adjacent neighborhood. Among the biggest challenges was minimizing the impact of the massive project on residents surrounding the hospital. Actions McCarthy Building Companies took to reduce the impact of this project included making sure that security and construction lights were pointed away homes and backyards, dust control measures were followed and the noisiest activities were conducted as far as possible from homes.

creating more accurate and timely estimates through integrated cost modeling. It also allowed a reduction in contingency and provided Banner Health with the opportunity to make accurate and fully informed decisions. Logistical constraints created a challenge for the addition of two floors above the main lobby, bistro and learning center. Access to the space was limited to a 40-foot entrance and the matching gypsum-backed masonry veneer above the main entrance required intense planning and detailed design coordination to maintain functionality of the main entrance and ensure public safety.

Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s addition and renovations support the mission and vision to position the facility as one of the largest pediatric campuses in the country. The design team was challenged to improve upon the existing campus design, planning and flexibility as well as to create a bold and unique campus image while evoking an inspiring and comforting atmosphere. The 770KSF, 11-story patient and 94,530 SF ambulatory tower strengthens Phoenix Children’s brand identity through the use of form, color and light. Designed to reflect a nightblooming desert flower, the building is an iconic image for the Phoenix

community creating a welcoming oasis that provides shade and healing while providing stunning views of the entire Valley, mountains and city skyline from private patient rooms. To support the hospital’s mission of treating the entire family and not just the patient, care was taken to improve the patient/family journey the moment one steps on campus and experiences the whimsical and lush landscaping accented by bold colors, playful sculpture and indigenous plant material. The tower features 334 private patient rooms that promote patient control, family-centered care and caregiver access. The ambulatory care clinics are grouped in expandable

modular units to ebb and flow with daily need. Parking garages are hidden behind sculptural walls that flank the main entrance providing adjacent shaded parking and walkways. The dramatic three-story atrium welcomes visitors in a shaded glass sanctuary. Strategic day-lighting calms major spaces, punctuates corridors and creates painted vistas within individual rooms.
uniquE FEaTuRES: Unique places of escape tie the indoors and outdoors together providing family choice and control – from the colorful stage of the atrium light wall to the rooftop play garden to the intimate dining and meditation gardens linking new and existing construction. ChallEnGES: Significant pre-
planning and coordination throughout the project resulted in no major issues throughout the project. However, mid-way through construction, the construction and design team were tasked by Phoenix Children’s Hospital to reduce the construction budget by $60M. This was executed without delay and without compromising the original design intent, construction quality or needs of the finished facility.

The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and its gaming enterprise operate the Talking Stick Resort and Casino, located next to the Talking Stick Golf Course just outside of Scottsdale. The resort replaced a 70KSF temporary casino on the same site, which remained in operation throughout the construction process. The resort design is influenced by historical and cultural elements of the community’s past. Rather than imposing a theme, the design uses natural materials, natural light, exterior spaces and surrounding vistas to create a simple and elegant place for entertainment and relaxation.
G I B
The project was organized in the traditional Phoenix resort pattern in which the entrance is a level above the garden space or the original desert grade. By gently sloping the site upward toward the entry, the overall mass of the building is reduced. Visitors arrive 17 feet above the original grade, where they are greeted with views of the gardens, golf course and the desert beyond. The 500-room hotel includes a rooftop restaurant and lounge, a nightclub and private party facility and a full-service spa. The two upper levels open to exterior decks and terraces that overlook both the lights of the city toward the west
and the virtually untouched desert to the east. More than 1,000 slot machines and 100 table games form the heart of the casino. The gaming floor is supplemented by a VIP lounge, seafood bar, 900-seat showroom, 300seat buffet, high-end cocktail lounge, plus many additional food and beverage options. A conference center with multiple meeting rooms and a 2,500-seat ballroom are located in a wing adjacent to the casino. Extensive gardens with water features, pools, formal and informal meeting spaces, a ceremony garden and indigenous plant life extend the resort outward.

What was originally built as premium office space in downtown Phoenix is now home to a contemporary hotel. The 242-room Westin Phoenix Downtown resides in the middle of a 26-story high rise along with the offices of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, an international natural resources company. Constructing the hotel in an existing high rise in seven months was not only gutsy but a savvy business move. Rather than waiting for the economy to recover and for businesses

to start absorbing vacant downtown office space, property owner National Real Estate Advisors, LLC took action and collaborated with Westin Hotels & Resorts. The redevelopment project entailed major design revisions to the tower’s interior as well as constructing a new adjoining two-story low-rise that includes a valet entrance, an outdoor courtyard and back-of-house facilities.
high rise into a luxury hotel involves some constraints, but it also has its perks. Because the original tower was intended for premium office space, every room includes a floor-to-ceiling window. What’s more, guest rooms are considerably more spacious than average. In fact, corner rooms are 50 percent larger than average hotel accommodations.
uniquE FEaTuRES: One of the many design challenges solved by the design team was to create a separate identity for the hotel and distinguish it from Freeport-McMoRan. To achieve this, SmithGroupJJR worked with the City of Phoenix to share an under-utilized city bus bay to serve as the hotel’s valet entrance. In addition to different entrances, Westin and FreeportMcMoRan have separate lobbies and elevator banks. Guests visiting either establishment never need to interface. Adapting an existing office

Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino was the first Vegas-style gaming establishment in the Greater Phoenix Area, with more than 400KSF of entertainment and hospitality offerings. Owned by the Gila River Indian Community, the project features a 10-story, 242-room hotel and 100KSF of gaming space and more than 12KSF of meeting space. The casino includes 1,000 slot machines, 50 multi-game tables,
a poker room with 24 tables and a non-smoking slot machine area. In addition, there’s a night club, a 1,400seat theater and several dining options and food court venues.
ChallEnGES: Because the owner
was eager to get started, Kitchell compiled a schedule of what could be accomplished in the first 90 days of the project, simultaneous to negotiating the final contract. This
first 90 days included development of a three-level, 800-space precast garage, the casino’s structural steel and the hotel’s concrete structure, all portions that had been designed sufficiently for an aggressive construction schedule. A life-size statue of a horse rearing up (Wild Stallion by David A. Montour) provides the lobby’s focal point. Installing the 3,000 pound, 16-foot statue was challenging. Built in one piece, including its pedestal, the statue had to be brought into the building horizontally and then positioned according to the artist’s specifications. The installation team took special care to avoid damaging the lobby’s previously installed glass doors and finishes. There were some unexpected challenges for the team to work through during the hot summer. For instance, installation of decorative brown metal panels on the building’s exterior was delayed a month, until July, when the air temperature soared to 120 degrees and the panel temperature reached 200 degrees. The team fought through the heat and completed the installation according to the original time frame.

The vision for the Coldwater Depot Logistics Center began in early 2011, spurred in part by the record amount of big-box leasing that took place in the Southwest Phoenix submarket in 2010 and the resulting lack of available distribution product for users requiring in excess of 250KSF. Given the absence of speculative industrial development for more than three years in this submarket, the first challenge was to find the right sight to kick off new speculative construction in an economy that was beginning to show some signs of improvement and to be the first in this cycle to develop a class-A cross-dock facility that could respond functionally and economically to traditional industrial

uniquE FEaTuRES: Coldwater Depot contributed to the development of a future multi-use pedestrian trail along the Agua Fria River, a community recreation effort spearheaded by Avondale in conjunction with ADOT, Maricopa County Flood Control District and the Army Corps of Engineers. ChallEnGES: The design needed
to be flexible to respond to multiple development scenarios, maintain efficiencies required by big box users, and also needed to comply with the stricter guidelines of Avondale’s Freeway Corridor Specific Plan overlay, which required upscale design along the Interstate 10 and Van Buren major arterials. Prior to shell completion, the Phase 1 building was 50 percent leased to Conn’s HomePlus, a new retailer to the metro Phoenix market specializing in home goods and electronics. Given an aggressive retail store opening schedule, improvements to Conn’s space were underway prior to finalization of the shell building. Conn’s occupied three weeks after shell completion.

Marshalls Distribution Center The Marshall’s Distribution Center is one of the largest distribution facilities constructed in Arizona. Located on a 100-acre site with a total perimeter length stretching over 1.6 miles, one needs to see the building to truly understand. The main building is 2,008 feet long and 552 feet deep, and the footprint is approximately 1.5MSF. The building is structurally divided into two components — the low-bay (32-foot clear height) section of the building occupies 700KSF and the high-bay (52-foot clear height) area occupies 400KSF. The site had requirements beyond the 1.5MSF structure. The concrete truck court on the south side of the facility is more than 390 feet deep. The northern portion of the site is divided into two main areas — an additional truck court on the northeast side and, on the northwest side, more than 1,200 parking stalls for the facility occupants.
©
uniquE FEaTuRES: Beginning with the massive size, there are few structures larger than the 1.5MSF facility. Additionally, the height of the building is unique. The high-bay area is 52 feet clear to the lowest point in the canted roof. The height is twice as high as most industrial buildings in Arizona and 20 feet higher than what is considered industry norm. The 52-foot clear height presents several concrete challenges, which include 66-foot-tall concrete tilt panels and extremely strict requirements for the concrete floor. The concrete panels were cast on-site, in narrower widths, to allow a crane to erect the 150-ton panels. The concrete floors were constructed after the building was closed-in to prevent common weather elements, like sun and wind, from affecting the flatness of the concrete floors. Those floors were placed in narrow, 20-foot ribbons during a single continuous pour to eliminate perpendicular

E M
ChallEnGES: When you juxtapose
the size of the project with the ownerrequired 11-month construction timeline, the obvious result is a considerable schedule challenge. Every element was affected by the scale of the project. When soil conditions required one foot of engineered fill, 3,750 dump truck loads of fill were trucked into the site. The project was built utilizing more than 70,000 cubic yards of concrete. This equated to roughly 7,000 concrete truckloads driven to the site and then staged so the concrete could be poured into forms, placed and finished. To overcome these challenges, the project was broken down into manageable sections so trade contractors could work in separate areas and create project flow.

Palm Valley 303 Business Park Palm Valley 303, or PV303, is a master planned business park designed to meet the growing demand for industrial and commercial opportunities in the Greater Phoenix Area. Located at the confluence of Interstate 10 and Loop 303 in Goodyear, PV303 offers a total of 1,600 acres for up to 20MSF of industrial, flex, office and retail space. At fi nal build-out, PV303 will be one of the largest master planned business parks in the Southwest. It was situated to serve key markets in the western United States, such as the California, Texas and Las Vegas.

CityScape CityScape is a 1.2MSF urban project located at the core of downtown Phoenix. This multi-use development is a focal point for urban living and community activity, capitalizing on the resurgence of downtown Phoenix that includes the completion of the first phase of the light rail transit system, expansion of the Phoenix Convention Center, the growth of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, the opening of the ASU Downtown Phoenix campus and the University of Arizona Medical School, unprecedented downtown residential and employment growth, and new hotels. With four buildings, 50KSF of park/open space and 3,000 below-grade parking spaces – all with easy access and strong connectivity to Arizona’s top sports attractions – today’s CityScape dazzles in scope. Adding energy to the project is exciting retail and entertainment, a menu of great restaurants, a 250room, 4-star Kimpton property, and an impressive roster of tenants in the 600KSF office tower. CityScape’s newest addition, CityScape Residences, is a 14-story tower featuring 224 residential apartments atop the Hotel Palomar. It opened in early 2014 and rounds out CityScape as a live, work and play destination.

uniquE FEaTuRES: The proportion of each use, meaning that no single use overpowers the other, makes this project unique and was achieved by developing nearly 200KSF of retail and entertainment at the base of the project. Altogether, there are six uses interacting at CityScape: office,
retail, hotel, residential, public park and public below grade parking garages. These six uses total a combined 2MSF, densely constructed on two standard 30-feet-by-300-feet city blocks.

Kierland Commons Kierland Commons was the first “urban village” to be conceived and built in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. The mixed-use development features vertically and horizontally integrated retail, restaurant, office and residential uses and has been billed as “today’s version of yesterday. Its heart is Main Street, where social gatherings, outings and holiday events take place.

communities and resorts, but not for mixed-use retail. This was Woodbine’s first retail/shopping center, and it did not have a formula project type. Significant competition from proven retail developers vying for the same market was a major hurdle. Through an informal process of interviewing residents and neighboring businesses, and a more structured market analysis, Woodbine was able to design a retail center that reflected the community’s preferences at the same time it fit the regional demographics. Other great lessons are found with the streets and parking considerations. Initial resistance from the City of Scottsdale to narrow the drive aisles to 22 feet from the standard 24 feet, has resulted in a pedestrian friendly, slow moving traffic pattern. The storefront teaser parking, with major parking fields located at the rear of the stores, is more prevalent today than when the initial leasing was done in 1997, and the reaction from the early tenants could have derailed the concept. However, a determined development team prevailed and the character of the development could only have been achieved using this planning model with parking at the rear of the buildings.

The location is between two ASU property lines and the light rail, which promotes a healthier and car-free lifestyle by suggesting its residents use public transportation. The triangular shape and compact site created many unforeseen challenges including a limited working space; complex communication problems for constructing, building, and planning the building; integration of the existing Tempe landscape; and the preservation of the historical Native American site. The Hub promotes a balance of sustainability and luxury amenities for its 637 residents. It is seeking LEED accreditation and also provides a 40KSF amenity deck with a 23-foot outdoor LED screen,
two outdoor pools, a sand volleyball court, a fitness center, 40-person hot tub, a yoga room and a steam room. One floor of the building was designed for retail, restaurants and office space.
uniquE FEaTuRES: Elaborate landscaping influenced by “A” Mountain across the street from the building, was included in two-story
sky terraces that act as a bridge for the two rectangular volumes of the lot.
ChallEnGES: The project was
completed in 19 months. Additionally, preserving the integrity of culturally significant soil on the Native American site upon which The Hub was built required the constant presence of archaeologists during all stages of site digging.

There were two underlying goals for Chandler City Hall. The first was to provide an identity for the community. City departments were leasing space in various buildings and the goal was to bring all of these entities together into one facility therefore providing a community center that could generate pride for its citizens. The second was to revitalize the historic downtown by building in an area that devoid of activity and in disrepair and to promote future sustainable community based development in an around the city center. The city hall is a 137,700 SF lowto mid-rise government complex developed on two city blocks, bisected by Chicago Street. The north block is devoted to a five-story office tower at the north end and one-story

The tower houses city departments while the one-story buildings contain an art gallery, local utility customer service offices, council chambers and a television studio. The south block is devoted to one-story buildings and a two-level parking structure. The buildings contain a neighborhood redevelopment office and a print center.

The Mesa Community College Performing Arts Center is a multipurpose facility dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that caters to the needs and aspirations of the celebrated Mesa Community College Music Department. Utilizing a vacant five-screen movie house adjacent to campus, this adaptive reuse and expansion supports a sustainable building ethic that is a core goal for all MCC projects. The centerpiece of the new facility is a 460-seat multipurpose theater designed to accommodate, acoustically and theatrically, a broad range of musical performances. In addition to

the main theater, a full complement of back-of-house spaces, including performance classrooms, music practice spaces, faculty offices and a performance lobby space, are outfitted into the old movie house. Additionally, a new entry courtyard is created by removing the roof from one of the old theaters located at the key intersection of the new and existing structures. The architecture of the building is a composition inspired by the musical structure of cherished songs, creative repurposing, and a respect for the unique qualities of the Sonoran Desert. The new north masonry wall is folded along an ascending diagonal
5 1 0 2
line derived from the opening clarinet glissando of “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin. The remaining new and existing exterior walls are a canvas for a composition of salvaged movie seat stanchions that will cast dynamic shadows with the passing sunlight.
ChallEnGES: The new build’s
architecture and building form are unique, primarily using masonry in the front, which includes float coursing patterns for the block, as well as battered walls. This creates the look of a fold running diagonally across the building. The bottom left and top right of the building lean out toward the front, and, as the coursing progresses, the building goes into a tilt. The structure’s unique geometry created a challenge in masonry and steel constructability, but through quality control, and a lot of measurement, contractors accurately produced the architects’ vision.

attractive to potential tenants and to meet the design standards of a new world-class business park. The outdated office and manufacturing facility received a facelift with a new dramatic entry façade and class-A shell lobby. The parking was revised and the ribbon window banding was replaced with two-story curtain walls.
ChallEnGES: Due to the fact that
there were four different contractors on site during construction of the park’s infrastructure, construction planning needed to be re-evaluated on a weekly basis. Ample communication between the parties ensured the coordination of basic necessities, such as site access, deliveries and storage, safety and dust control. The contractors worked hand-in-hand to complete the project in time and on budget, while maintaining quality.

Despite limited resources, this ambitious project turned a two-story building in downtown Phoenix into a space for the education and treatment of HIV/AIDS. The designbuild, adaptive reuse project was the renovation of a 1950s building that formerly housed Channel 12 News, as part of a larger trend of optimizing outdated structures to serve 21st century needs. The new 25KSF community space for the Parsons Center for Health & Wellness — named for a generous donation from former GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons and his wife, Renee — includes clinic areas, pharmacy, conference and event rooms, offices and parking underneath the building. The remainder of the building houses Maricopa County Integrated Health Services, Avella and retail space on the first floor. Also included in the project was a full re-skin of the exterior of the building and site work. The vision for this building came from multiple areas of expertise and dedication, including the City of Phoenix, a nonprofit client group, philanthropic organization, architect and contractor. The biggest challenges of this project became the identification of

project priorities. The collaborative process was tested on a regular basis as the team strove to select from multiple good options the best way to move forward. This was not limited to program, but also included systems, finishes, fenestration and environmental graphics. The outcome was not in any way a compromise, but a prime example of how to do more with less and provide a solid long-term solution. As a high profile public project there was a great deal of effort placed on achieving an aggressive schedule and tight budget, with the added challenge of multiple contracts as decisions were made
and funding became available. The construction process occurred quickly and efficiently through a dedicated oncall approach of budget stewardship, strong subcontractor relationships and a project management team that was able to react and adjust to unknown existing conditions.

As a living laboratory for the community and its employees, DPR Construction’s Phoenix Regional Office showcases how to live and work sustainably in a desert environment. Committed to walking the talk when it comes to sustainability, DPR Construction set out to find a building to renovate into a net zero office space for its Phoenix team. DPR with SmithGroupJJR, and sustainability consultant DNV KEMA Energy & Sustainability, designed, and renovated an underutilized building in a redeveloping area in central Phoenix. The new office demonstrates the impact revitalization can have on an urban environment. Rising from the remains of an adult-themed boutique, this circa-1972 property located in Phoenix’s redeveloping Discovery Triangle at the corner of 44th and Van Buren streets, took vision, creativity and a whole lot of teamwork to see the inherent potential in this 40-year old building at the end of its intended life-cycle. In less than

10 months, the team researched properties, designed, permitted, and built a highly-efficient workplace for a company committed to sustainability.
uniquE FEaTuRES: The building achieved net zero energy efficiency Dec. 1, 2012, and is a certified LEED Platinum facility as of July 2012. In the spring of 2103, it achieved Net-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) Certification from the International Living Future Institute and Energy
5 1 0 2 Star Certification, a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. The expansive walls of windows and 82 strategically positioned Solatube® units nearly eliminates the need for artificial daytime lighting 365 days a year. Additionally, photovoltaic panels were installed to provide shaded parking and offset the use of electrical power.
ChallEnGES: Renovating and
redeveloping a 40-year-old building into a net zero energy office in Phoenix was not only risky, it was unheard of.

Fender Musical Instruments Corp. A household name, Fender has been center stage in the music world since Leo Fender designed the first Fender Telecaster guitar. Prior to occupying its new 110,KSF corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) was located in three separate buildings within an office campus disconnected by large parking lots. The physical separation of the corporate departments contributed to compartmentalization within the company, something FMIC recognized as an issue. When the office space lease expired, FMIC was determined to change this dynamic by building the right real estate solution. FMIC has an enormous collection of guitars, amplifiers and photographs documenting the history of rock ‘n’

interior environment is centered around a two-story, enclosed atrium designed to promote interaction between staff and visitors. It’s anchored by two 35-foot-high Stratocaster and Telecaster guitar wall murals. Lined with stages and platforms for informal meetings and jam sessions, spaces push and pull into the atrium, creating an interactive lounge for employees. The second-floor office opens into the atrium and creates a physical connection for all departments. Within the R&D department, there is a model shop reminiscent of

the first shop used by Leo Fender. Next to the model shop, a sound room was designed to absorb the sounds produced by the loudest amplifier in the industry, while still encompassing the sound quality of a modern day sound room.
ChallEnGES: The Fender tenant
improvement project is part rock-n-roll museum, part corporate office and part sound studio. Along with highend finishes and sound requirements, the schedule proved to be the most challenging feature of the project. After a two-year search for a new location, the design and construction had to be expedited to meet a February move-in date. The 110KSF space was designed in just one month and built (permit to C of O) in 85 calendar days.

DBSI Inc. works with financial institutions, including Wells Fargo and Chase, to re-brand and transform their branch locations in creative ways. It only makes sense for a company that sells and promotes creativity on more than 3,000 projects a year to also do a number on its own office space in Chandler. Located in a warehousetype industrial building, exposed duct work, dark woods and purple paint integrate the building’s personality and the company’s branding colors in one coherent and engaging design.

Arizona State University Sun Devil Stadium The CMAR project includes complete reconstruction of portions of the lower and upper stadium bowls and the addition of many new amenities and improvements that reflect the university’s emphasis on sustainability, technology and innovation, including an expanded student section on the stadium’s south end that will include an estimated 8,000 seats. Construction of the student section will begin in January 2015, just minutes after the Cactus Bowl concludes and will be complete before the 2015-16 football season.
Employee offices are propped on the second floor with a tree-house vibe and floor-to-ceiling windows. With its high ceiling and open spaces, DBSI Inc.’s headquarters leaves plenty of room to promote creativity and fun at every corner. Some of DBSI’s office highlights include a
5 1 0 2 room called the Ideation Center with a 15-foot TV “Wow Wall” that screens movies and broadcasts sports games while doubling as a secret door to a Collaboratory (aka a “test kitchen”), a golf simulator room and bat pole between floors for a rush of energy before employees return to work.

[ INFLUENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE ] Central Arizona Project
Construction on this 336-mile canal project started in 1973 with the intention of diverting water from the Colorado River to serve one million acres of central and southern Arizona. It’s the largest aqueduct constructed in the United States.
Hoover Dam
Technically, the closest city to the Hoover Dam is Boulder City, Nevada. However, with Nevada and California, Arizona directly benefits from its hydroelectric power. Constructed during the Great Depression, the Hoover Dam was a five-year project that was completed two years ahead of schedule and employed thousands on one of the largest concrete structures erected at the time.

From hosting the final McCain/Palin campaign party in 2008 to boasting the pool where composer Irving Berlin penned “White Christmas,” the legendary Biltmore Hotel has a rich history. At one point, it was even owned by chewing gum tycoon William Wrigley. Designed by Albert Chase McArthur, the hotel’s textile block construction is just as full of character as the ones who’ve walked its halls.

Metrocenter Mall
When the 1.4MSF Metrocenter Mall opened in the ‘70s, it was the largest regional shopping center of its kind in Arizona. Into the ‘80s, the mall declined, financially. About 20 years later, the mall saw a complete renovation and under ownership of Carlyle Development Group plans were announced for it to become a mixed-use development site featuring retail, residential and medical facilities.
Scottsdale Fashion Square
Three floors of shopping, 2MSF for more than 225 retail or service establishments and the largest shopping mall in Arizona, Scottsdale Fashion Square has made itself a must-visit shopping destination in one of the Phoenix Metro’s most affluent cities. The mall, originally open-air, was built in 1961. Over the decades, Scottsdale Fashion Square doubled in size, merged with a competing mall across the street via a retail bridge, three parking garages and attracted high-end retailers such as Neiman Marcus.
