Letter from the
PUBLISHER
“The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.” – STEVEN
MANDY PURCELL Executive Publisher
SPIELBERG

eople in the commercial real estate industry say it is a “business of relationships,” and I couldn’t agree more. I’m so appreciative of the relationships and friendships I’ve made through the years of being Publisher of Commercial Executive Magazine.
The team is so proud of this Mentor/Mentee issue. They talked me into being on the cover for the first time in 10 years! The feature takes an intimate look at the personal relationships I have with my mentors and how I’ve drawn from their collective experience. We also highlight four other incredible mentor/mentee relationships which have organically developed from leaders in the industry guiding another.

Executive
PROFILE President and CEO of the Arizona Chapter of NAIOP
A native of Arkansas, Suzanne Kinney moved around in her early 20s, finally settling in Arizona in 2001. The Grand Canyon State offered an excellent quality of life and the chance to work in a position that fit her career goals in public policy. Sixteen years since moving here, Kinney has realized those goals.
Starting Points
Named President and CEO of the Arizona Chapter of NAIOP — the Commercial Real Estate Development Association — in November 2017, Kinney has found the niche where she can make a difference for its members and create a positive economic environment for the state. /// “The organization focuses on networking opportunities, education, and public policy work,” she says. “On the policy side, our efforts involve legislative areas: infrastructure, workforce, taxes, incentives and the regulatory environment.”
Background
Kinney earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political economy from Tulane University and Master of Arts degree in international relations from the University of Chicago-Committee on International Relations. /// “My first job in Arizona was at the Morrison Institute for Public Policy, Arizona State University (ASU) as a senior research analyst,” she says. “I was always interested in politics and economics.” /// After nearly three years at Morrison, Kinney accepted a role with the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “The work was more applied than I had done earlier, which was more research oriented, and that was exciting for me,” she says. /// One year into the position, the chamber experienced a massive turnover and she was the only staff member to remain as leadership changed. /// “Glenn Hamer took on the executive role and because of the changes, I was able to accelerate my career and help transform the organization,” Kinney explains. /// Her 8-year tenure from 2005“Suzanne is smart and strategic, and she met all 2013 ultimately ended as Senior Vice of the key qualities that our (NAIOP Arizona) board President of Public Policy when she made the decision to strike out on her own as of directors identified as being important to our a policy consultant. “I took on multiple organization. Suzanne is also well schooled in clients including Freeport McMoRan, the Arizona Board of Regents and the Arizona public policy and has distinguished herself as a Mining Association at my firm Southwest good listener and collaborator. We are thrilled Business Policy, LLC.
NAIOP NAIOP calls itself the leading organization for developers, owners and
to have Suzanne as part of our organization.” – Larry Pobuda, SVP & General Manager, Opus Development Company, LLC
related professionals in office, industrial and mixed-use real estate. It boasts 18,000 members in North America. The Arizona chapter consists of Kinney; Vice President, Katrina DeBaker; and an 18-member board of directors led by Chairman Andrew Cheney. /// “We have a fabulous board, very forward thinking when it comes to the industry, the Arizona economy, business conditions and the regulatory environment,” Kinney says proudly. /// Through its various events and offerings, members are provided opportunities to engage, network, learn and affect policy. “We have a number of great committees that advance our agenda,” Kinney says. “And we continue to deepen our connections and partnership with organizations such as Arizona State University and the University of Arizona.” 6

Executive Suzanne Kinney, President & CEO of AZ NAIOP
PROFILE
“Suzanne Kinney is one of the state’s finest public policy and trade association talents. The commercial real estate industry is incredibly fortunate to have her in its corner. During her time at the Arizona Chamber, she provided deft analysis and advocacy on some of the state’s most complicated policy issues, which I know she’ll continue to do in her new role.” – Glenn Hamer, President and CEO, Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Personal Off the clock, Kinney enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, ages 4 and 14. “David (her husband) works as an underwriter at VEREIT; it’s nice to both work in the same industry,” she says. /// Kinney also serves on the board of the Institute of Mental Health Research, and spends time with her daughter tutoring refugees in English at a local church. “I enjoy giving back to the community,” she says.
With commercial real estate in an upward trajectory and the Metro Phoenix economy strong, Kinney has the chance to shape the NAIOP Arizona Chapter for ongoing success. “This is a great opportunity and one I am excited to develop moving forward.” Suzanne Kinney with husband, David Kinney © Copyright 2018 by MP Media, LLC

TITLE Quick Q&A with 5 Experts in Title
Felecia Buycks VICE PRESIDENT & ARIZONA STATE MANAGER, FIRST AMERICAN TITLE
What is the best advice you’ve received when it comes to doing business in title? Fortunately, numerous well-trusted and respected colleagues have shared powerful advice with me. Many have emphasized that the title business is a relationship business, and that is true. But, the advice I lean on most focuses on what it takes to be a successful organizational leader in the title industry – (1) Be willing to listen to the voice of all stakeholders; (2) Embrace flexibility to be competitive and innovative with technology platforms; (3) Dare to be great by taking risks and remember that both failure and success yield the precious gifts of stretching, learning and growing.
Kylie Cook
DIRECTOR, COMMERCIAL SERVICES THOMAS TITLE & ESCROW
What advice would you give to someone just starting out in title? It is a marathon, not a sprint, and you can never know too many people, so always show up. Some of my best clients and relationships have taken more than two years to cultivate. It is a huge compliment when someone tells me that I am one of the most professionally persistent people they know. Get involved. Not only in real estate organizations, but philanthropic organizations as well. Take the time to really know people, their business needs and what makes them tick. So much of what we do in our role is to assemble the best teams on a transaction. There is no better reward than making an introduction and watching a connection or business friendship made that translates into a new deal for our Thomas Title & Escrow team to service. This recipe has been one that makes for a career that I enjoy, and most days doesn’t even feel like “work.” 8

TITLE
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, STEWART TITLE
What is the biggest change you’ve seen in the title business? The title industry has undergone a transformation from handwritten field notes/surveys for mining claims in 1880 to eSignatures and DocuSign in recent years. At Stewart Title, we embrace any technology that makes the real estate process more efficient, less expensive, more transparent and safer for property owners. It also aids in CFPB compliance and the continuing changes in regulatory requirements. In addition to the changes in the method of settlement services required by the CFPB to protect the consumer, the scope of an escrow agent’s legal duties and liability expanded in Arizona over the years to include the Duty to Disclose Fraud. What does the future hold? Blockchain and eNotarizations will revolutionize the real estate industry. It will change how title services are performed, how the transfer of property ownership is handled, and how real estate transactions are conducted in general. Emerging technology and Millennials are driving the change, increasing efficiency, accuracy, and security while shortening the closing experience. Buying real estate on your phone... Who knew?
Vicki Etherton
PRESIDENT, LANDMARK TITLE
How do you overcome challenges in your business? Commercial real estate transactions are complex, so challenges are inevitable in this business. To overcome this, we must first find and hire the right people. I take time getting to know potential candidates to help determine if they are a good fit. I seek out people that share our commitment to service and are excited to work in a collaborative, growing environment. Daily we face underwriting issues and it takes persistence to overcome them. Of course, underwriters are naturally cautious. I take time to listen to their concerns in detail and then exhaust every avenue in search of information to help them overcome concerns, find a solution and successfully close the transaction for our clients. Surrounding myself with a strong team is important, as I look to them to help solve problems, recognizing that they bring a unique perspective, knowledge and experience to the mix.
Patti Madden
PRESIDENT, SECURITY TITLE AGENCY
What does it take to be successful in the industry? As a female in the title industry for 35+ years, and currently President of Security Title, I believe that being successful in our industry requires great composure under pressure, and a rapid response to questions and requests from clients. Success requires an open mind and continuous learning. You must be more than an escrow officer, you must be a business person with a laser focus on your goals. With the current regulatory requirements and evolution in our industry, we must embrace change in order to keep up. Another great quality of a successful escrow officer to is to be a superior listener, and to be ready to accept blame if necessary, to apologize and to move on. Lastly, you must have the mindset to sell from behind your desk. Don’t depend on anyone else to make you successful, you have to think high in order to rise above the ordinary.

UPDATE
TRIBAL LAND Leasing Update By: Greg Mayer
The Metro Phoenix office market started off 2018 strong and continues to experience positive growth. In the first quarter of 2018, office vacancy was at 19 percent, which marks the lowest vacancy rate in more than a decade.
C
ushman & Wakefield currently tracks 22 office submarkets. However, the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) has not yet been established as its own submarket. If the SRPMIC was its own submarket, it would be one of the most competitive in Metro Phoenix. /// With a vacancy rate of 2.3 percent and rent per square foot at $26.44, SRPMIC is outpacing the Metro Phoenix average. The submarket will only continue to grow with 123,000 square feet currently under construction, which reportedly is already spoken for. Another 271,000 SF is expected to be delivered over the next year. /// SRPMIC development has grown significantly over the years. The community is quickly transforming into a “hospitality haven.” Take a drive down the Loop 101 and you will see SRPMIC success stories. They include notable projects such as Talking Stick Resort and Casino, Salt River Fields, Top Golf, OdySea in the Desert, and The Pavillions at Talking Stick. Great Wolf Lodge broke ground in January and is expected to open in 2019. /// One of the biggest – and perhaps most impactful – developments is the newly-completed 271,000 SF building that McKesson Corporation occupied. It went up on a ground-lease controlled by Salt River Devco. Historically, a ground-lease on Indian land is complex. Not only do negotiations need to take place between a landlord and a tenant, but getting additional approvals from allottees and the Bureau of Indian Affairs adds to the complexity. However, the community encourages the continued growth and therefore makes the process as seamless as possible. /// The San Francisco-based Fortune 500 healthcare giant decided in late 2016 to move its regional headquarters to the SRPMIC build-to-suit from its previous location at Scottsdale Galleria. The new McKesson campus will eventually house 2,200 employees, almost 60 percent more than its previous location. This is important for the community in drawing the attention of other office users. A third building, at 120,000 SF, broke ground last month as part of the development. /// SRPMIC has set itself apart from most Native American communities by forward thinking and thoughtful development planning. It is evident that the community takes pride in what is developed, not only architecturally but also in the quality.

UPDATE
SRPMIC offers new and fresh concepts with plenty of unique entertainment and dining options not available anywhere else in the Valley. It also capitalizes on its close proximity to Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa. All of these factors have helped drive development and bring tenants to the area. GREG MAYER

Transparent. Independent. Unwavering. Words that define Knight Management and provide insight into an intentional deviation from large, multi-service corporate property management companies. “It is our strategic intention for Knight to be viewed by clients as only a third-party property management firm,” says Ed Valerio, Director, Property Management. “There is tremendous value in that concept. We singularly focus on best-inclass management of our clients’ properties.” STARTING POINTS
Knight stakes claim as the Valley’s longest tenured, third-party commercial real estate management firm in Maricopa County. The company’s portfolio consists of more than 2.8 million square feet in Metro Phoenix. /// “Our focus is Phoenix and we are not trying to compete nationally with the big boys,” says Chad Clark, Regional Director, Business Development. “We offer local expertise and service with an unparalleled level of responsiveness to our property owners and tenants.”
BACKGROUND
Ed VALERIO
16
Founded as Robert F. Knight & Associates in 1977, the firm struck a niche in the market by solely focusing on management and avoiding the potential conflicts of also offering brokerage services. Knight has never competed with brokers, and therefore offers an appealing third-party relationship for specific properties with agents from every brokerage house. /// Bob Knight grew the management company with a philosophy that continues today. The firm values its clients and staff in all it performs, leading to long-term relationships that are remarkable in the industry.
The company boasts very little turnover in clients and employees. Knight offers expertise at all levels of the business from managers and accountants to administrators and technicians. Knight Management’s goal for every client and property is to provide peace of mind to owners, create quality environments for tenants and enhance value for investors/landlords. /// Following the Recession, Knight Management emerged in 2014 still focused on this foundational ethos. Yet, after nearly 40 years, Bob Knight was ready to bring in a new investor that would help transition the company beyond his fulltime leadership. Irgens, a Milwaukee-based developer with properties here in Phoenix, saw great value in Bob’s company and was attracted to the independent, third-party approach. /// “Bob was looking for a means to transition the business,” says Ed Valerio, director of property management for Knight Management. “I worked closely with Bob and navigated the leadership change. It was important for us to protect and grow what was best about Knight, while helping improve our efforts with Irgens’ backing. Bob stayed on to make sure we did not miss a beat with our tenured clients.” /// With more than 21 years of experience in the industry, Valerio is excited about the company’s prospects in Phoenix. /// “The first few years we really worked on rebranding the name and bring marketing resources to the table from the Irgens side,” says Valerio. “We also fully embraced the technological advances that add great value to property management. Operational efficiency is dramatically enhanced by these new programs that can be monitored by handheld devices.”

SPOTLIGHT
TEAM
One of the intriguing prospects for Knight Management is the business development opportunity that comes with a growing economy and booming real estate market. Enter Clark. /// “I spent 16 years in tax appeal at Wentworth and built a direct line to property owners, property managers, REITS, and brokers,” Clark says. “My strong relationships with industry leaders translates perfectly with my role at Knight.” /// “This is an ideal time for us to expand our efforts in third party management,” says Valerio. “As properties are sold, opportunities arise for our team to showcase the value of thirdparty management. And, of course, as developers feed the pipeline with new projects our potential client base expands as well.” /// Both Clark and Valerio come at the expansion of Knight’s platform from a similar angle. /// “We want to really hone in on creating value for clients from that sole perspective of property management,” Valerio says. “We emphasize the private owner and investor who wants responsive, hands-on management. That is our niche.”
Chad CLARK
APPROACH
With Irgens’ impressive footprint of more than $2 billion in commercial and healthcare property development, Knight has been a strategic partner in servicing its Phoenix portfolio. /// “Interestingly, we function very much as a stand-alone entity under the Irgens’ brand,” Valerio says. “We treat them as a client in the management of their existing portfolio holdings. Mark Irgens was attracted to Bob Knight and his company because of its independence in the market and the unique niche he had created. Knight Management continues to function as a stand-alone company with completely separate management and Irgens is treated as an investor.”
THE DUO
With property management front and center, Clark and Valerio look to accelerate their growth plans for the company. /// “We are developing a good rhythm working together,” says Clark. “We are both about the same age and at similar points in our career. This has created a terrific synergy between us as we apply energy towards service quality and expanding Knight’s platform.” /// Bob Knight’s dedication to hiring the best employees and treating them well continues today. “Our employees understand the importance of problem-solving and efficiency for clients. They have great pride in their work and the value they create. This type of commitment is appreciated by everyone involved and fosters a great work environment,” says Clark.
ROOM TO GROW Knight Management looks to be in capable hands, just the way founder Robert Knight wanted. /// “What I love about this business is that no two days are the same. You are effectively responsible for executing an owner’s business plan for their investment,” Valerio says. “I enjoy the relationships and working with the building owner, its valuable occupants and those that contribute to its overall success.” /// Knight has a powerful engine that Clark is eager to rapidly grow. /// “We offer clients an impressive platform of third-party management, utilizing technological advances to enhance property values and providing impressive accountability,” says Clark. “This platform, combined with our network of relationships and the growing economy are sure to pay dividends for the company in the coming years.”

Those experiences provided an opportunity at Lee & Associates. /// For Koss, a less conventional approach led him to CBRE. /// “Sean Cunningham got a foot in the door for me as one of 60 applicants for a runner’s program,” Koss says. “I interviewed in front of eight guys and did not own a coat or tie.

TEAMMATES Koss joined Lee & Associates in 1997; Louer joined the firm in 2002. In 2009 during the depths of the Recession, Koss began exploring the notion of finding an industrial partner. “Tom and I did a lot of work together, but not as a team,” says Koss. “I always admired his abilities.” /// It took a few years, but once the combination began there was no looking back. /// “When we spoke to clients they preferred a team approach,” says Louer. “Together we possess the experience, put forth the effort, and have the trust of our clients.” /// The partnership has compiled an impressive portfolio of companies: ProLogis, Colony, Exeter, EastGroup, and Petsas Commercial to name a few. “We are proud of the energy and focus we provide our clients,” says Koss.

It now includes Victoria Benavidez, marketing coordinator, and Dylan Shugrue, who is currently their runner. /// “With Dylan’s past experience and strong work ethic we anticipate that he will earn a junior partner position in the near future,” says Koss. /// With years of experience, Koss and Louer hold true to some enduring principles. “This is not a 9-to-5 job,” says Koss. “There are fundamentals you have to abide by, especially persistence,” says Louer.

OP P ORTU NI TY During the last downturn, Garlick saw the brokerage landscape change and sought out a company with a national platform encompassing all service lines that enabled brokers to be entrepreneurial in their business practice. NKF was rising through the ranks quickly and growing rapidly in the commercial real estate industry. /// Garlick was recruited by NKF and made the move in 2013 to focus on enhancing his platform to benefit his clients. Garlick admits the move was a difficult decision, but ultimately the best opportunity for his career. /// “It’s been huge for my team,” he says. “We are now a part of a company that has capital to strategically acquire companies and assets to invest for our brokers, and ultimately for our clients.” N E W M A RK K NI GHT F RA N K
With a focus on office leasing services, Garlick considers his team unique compared to most. /// “My role on the brokerage side of the team is landlord advisory with Jimmy Hoselton, while Mike McQuaid and Chris Krewson focus on tenant representation. Our hybrid team benefits our clients because we understand both sides of the deal from an agency and tenant perspective,” says Garlick. /// NKF’s numbers speak for themselves. Corporate wide, revenue is up 19 percent year-over-year in capital markets and up 24 percent in investment sales volume. Additionally, NKF’s leasing revenue increased by 20 percent last year.
M A N A G EMENT
In January, on the cusp of his fifth year at NKF, Garlick was promoted to Executive Managing Director of the Phoenix office. /// The hiring came after NKF looked at prospects who would succeed in balancing the role of both broker and manager. Executives were confident with Garlick’s abilities and have not been disappointed. /// “Expanding NKF in Phoenix is extremely important to me. I can’t do that by myself. I have to do that with our talent. Talented brokers are the lifeblood to a commercial real estate company,” says Garlick.
E X PA NSI ON
Garlick says when looking for talent, he keeps in mind his own career experience. /// “I’m looking for someone willing to take a risk. I was at Lee & Associates for 17 years before I made the move to NKF. It was like leaving a family; it was very hard to do,” he says. /// Risk-taking, creativity and self-motivation are qualities Garlick looks for in candidates – and characteristics he applies to his current role. /// “One challenge I’ve faced is that it’s very hard to recruit when the market is good,” he says. “My job is to get brokers to understand what NKF is doing differently – our collaborative and entrepreneurial platform that defines NKF as a company at local and national levels.” /// Garlick says NKF’s advantage is its player-coach leadership. /// “Our CEO is a broker who sits among other brokers in an open office layout,” Garlick explains. “As a broker, I’m out in the community. While my team comes first, I’m here for the brand as a manager and leader.”
F U T U R E Throughout his 24-year career, Garlick has built long-term industry relationships. He is also well respected in the Valley’s commercial real estate community. He has completed more than 850 transactions totaling more than 10 million square feet, valued at more than $1 billion of total consideration. /// Garlick’s humble work ethic might be the reason for his success. /// “It’s not about me; it’s really not. I’m a connector and we’re building for the future,” he says modestly.

im Pederson, Founder and Chairman of the Pederson Group, has much to look back on in his years as a groundbreaking leader in the Phoenix community. /// A native Arizonan, Pederson pursued a career in politics before becoming one of the most prominent retail developers in the Southwest. /// After receiving bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Arizona, Pederson began his career as an administrative assistant to Phoenix Mayor Milt Graham. /// When Graham left office in 1970, Pederson campaigned with Sam Grossman, a real estate developer pursuing a Senate seat. Grossman lost but he offered Pederson a position as vice president at his development firm, Grossman Company. Pederson then went on to Westcor, Inc. as vice president of operations before starting his own company in 1983. /// Mandy Purcell, Founder and Publisher of Commercial Executive Magazine, recalls the first time she met Pederson. “I met Jim when I first started the magazine,” says Purcell. “I idolized him from the beginning because of his experience running for Senate.” /// Pederson is not one to shy away from challenges.

The Fall Forum brings together various sectors of the industry and features industry giants and their achievements as topics of discussion. /// Purcell has established Commercial Executive Magazine as a top publication in Phoenix since starting the magazine over a decade ago. /// “Mandy’s best quality is the creative way she gets a message across,” says Pederson. “She can present a person’s life story in a way that is informative and entertaining. Her cover stories are the best I’ve seen.” /// Purcell credits her success to those she’s surrounded herself with. “If I ever have a question or need anything, Jim always responds,” says Purcell. “His best quality is ‘Jim,’ what he’s accomplished in his life so far, from the politics to his generosity.

He went on to win the honor for four consecutive years. /// “I met Mandy in our office nearly 10 years ago,” says Gabel. “We hit it off instantly and have been friends ever since.” /// Gabel and Purcell’s business relationship grew stronger in the years to follow. “Mandy would ask my opinion on speakers, topics and events,” says Gabel. “She would genuinely listen and take my advice. Sometimes, that advice would be a little fatherly, too.” /// Gabel’s desire to mentor professionals stems from his early career, when he was a mentee to several industry leaders including his older brother Warner Gabel, Ted Zinman, David Heiple, Richard Bricker, Sam Linhart and Jim Mahoney. “Those guys really paved a way for me to follow. They gave their time to me, and I’ve always felt a need to give back,” says Gabel. /// While Gabel and Purcell’s relationship started in a professional setting, it evolved into a friendship. “We just laugh,” says Purcell. “He’s like a big brother to me. He’s always helping me out, whether it’s business advice or personal.”

When Margaret Lloyd entered the world of commercial real estate as a bold and bright-eyed woman in a male-dominated industry, little did she know she would soon become a runner for a top retail executive, Jack Wilson.

Š Copyright 2018 by MP Media, LLC
Cover R U N N E R S H I P Margaret Lloyd was hired at Grubb & Ellis Commercial Brokerage in 1983 after being interviewed by the entire retail division, including Jack Wilson. /// “It was during the interview process when Jack and I met,” says Lloyd. “There were two people in the division looking for a runner: Mike Polachek and Jack Wilson.” /// Management at Grubb & Ellis placed Lloyd with Wilson. /// “Back then, the runner was jointly employed by the individual broker and the company,” says Lloyd. “Jack paid most of my salary during that year.”
STORY
PAV I N G T H E WAY
During her year as a runner for Wilson, Lloyd was determined to do whatever it took to succeed in the male-dominated environment. /// “When Margaret first started, she used to wear these little bow ties,” Wilson recalls. “Sort of a way for her to fit in. It was cute, and I never said anything about it.” /// Lloyd agrees, “All I was thinking was how happy I would be if they treated me like one of the guys,” she says. “They did. Especially Jack.”
MENTORSHIP
PERSEVERANCE
FRIENDSHIP
As part of the retail division at Grubb & Ellis, Wilson’s duties included selecting sites for neighborhood and community shopping centers, commercial subdivisions, site planning coordination with developers and major tenants, retail leasing, buildto-suit and ground lease transactions. /// “My first obligation was to be sure I had something legit to give Margaret to work on,” says Wilson. “I put together a deal on a shopping center and needed that shopping center leased. I said, ‘Margaret, there you go. You go lease it.’” /// Lloyd says the best thing Wilson ever did was make it a sink-or-swim environment for her. /// “That’s what our business is,” says Lloyd. “No one is going to tell you how to do it, where to go or when to do it. You have to have the self-motivation.” /// Wilson says Lloyd has exactly that. “Margaret has that magic,” he says. “She has the drive to succeed in the business.”
After leaving Grubb & Ellis, Lloyd went on to spend 10 years at The Pederson Group as vice president of leasing, where she managed the pre-development and leasing of approximately 5 million square feet of commercial office and retail properties. /// A few years following the downturn in 2008, Lloyd took a risk and transitioned out of retail and into healthcare. /// “One thing I’ve learned from Margaret is to not get hung up on one way to go,” says Wilson. “Look at what your skills are and translate them into a way that adjusts to the market.” /// Lloyd joined Plaza Companies in 2010. Since then, she has been successful in the sale and leasing of more than 750,000 square feet of medical office properties. /// “I was flattered when Sharon Harper called me for a recommendation and I couldn’t wait to give it to her,” says Wilson. “Watching Margaret succeed in that transition was extremely rewarding and I think it was a smart and savvy move she made.”
Although Lloyd and Wilson’s work doesn’t overlap much anymore, the two have a friendship that has stayed constant over the years. /// “Throughout my 18 years at Grubb & Ellis and beyond that, I would often ask Jack for business advice,” says Lloyd. Wilson stayed true to his passion for retail and is currently Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield. /// When reflecting on her subsequent mentors, Jim Pederson and Sharon Harper, they along with Wilson share a similar mindset, “In real estate, you have to see the big picture and stay true to the ideals of honesty and integrity in everything that we do,” says Lloyd.

STARTING POINTS Vogel and Rosener were introduced to White through his father, Culver White, a longtime Phoenix broker. /// Since Rosener hired him in 2001, White has been instrumental in making Land Advisors Organization the top-volume brokerage firm in Tucson. /// “He’s the reason we’re successful down there,” says Rosener. “People think different and approach business different in Tucson. Having Will there – who really gets that – makes all the difference in the world.” /// As MSA Advisor for Land Advisors Organization’s Tucson market, White provides strategic direction for the sale and marketing of residential land to homebuilders, lot developers, and speculative investors throughout Pima County.
GUIDANCE White credits his success to Vogel and Rosener’s leadership. /// “They have had a huge role in the victories we’ve had down there,” says White. /// With Vogel and Rosener’s different personalities, White has learned from each of their strengths. /// “Brian is really good about tactical strategies to move us forward. He masterminds a lot of what we’re doing down in Tucson,” says White. /// While Rosener is focused on daily strategies, Vogel is focused on the big picture. /// “Greg doesn’t get pulled down in the detail of something.

MENTORSHIP Part of White’s role at Land Advisors is speaking at various industry events including forecasts, panel discussions, and forums. White says Rosener’s mentorship in preparing for these events has had a huge impact on his career. /// “Brian to this day has helped me with every single speaking engagement that I’ve done. He takes the time to sit with me, listen, and give me feedback,” says White. /// Similarly, Vogel’s guidance has been instrumental in his career. /// “Greg sees a lot in me that I don’t see in myself sometimes,” says White. /// White reflects on a memorable moment early in his career. “We were working on a deal and when it closed, Greg told me, ‘You know what, keep all the money. Just get me back sometime.’ He helped me get my feet on the ground and I’ve never forgot that.”
FRIENDSHIPS Land Advisors just celebrated its 30th anniversary. Vogel started the company in 1987 and has led its unprecedented expansion into 22 markets across the United States. /// “Early on Will quickly became one of my closest friends,” Vogel recalls. “Will and I aren’t just mentor and mentee. It’s truly become a lasting friendship.” /// That lasting friendship has led to a familiar bond when it comes to their family, sports interests, and hobbies.

“They both have a played a big part in who I am personally and professionally. I am extremely thankful to both of them for the great work they have done and all the support they have given me.” – W I L L W H I T E
IN ONE WORD, DESCRIBE YOUR MENTOR/MENTEE: WW: Greg is just “Vogel.” It accompanies a little bit of crazy and a little bit of genius. Brian is “Solid.” He’s dependable, supportive and strategic. BR: Relentless. Will is one of the most focused people you will ever meet, and if he puts his mind to something, consider it done. He won’t let up until it is.

PERSONAL STORIES GV: Will and I have an affinity for Jackson Browne. We sit late into the night on occasion listening to the genius and meaning behind the lyrics. Will can play solo guitar and does a great job with “These Days” by Browne. BR: I remember going to Will and Elizabeth’s wedding. It was at this beautiful house in the foothills of Tucson, sometime in the early 2000s. I had gotten married a year or so before, and I remember watching the ceremony and thinking “This is so adult – we’re all grown-ups now.” It seems like it was forever ago, but also like it was yesterday.

BARRY GABEL CHRIS MARCHILDON Q&A: What is a memorable lesson you’ve learned? BG: My first job was at a restaurant called The Salad Bowl. The owners wanted to drum up more business so I volunteered to wear a carrot costume and stand on the side of the road. I had people yelling and throwing things at me — it was brutal. I wobbled my way back in, grabbed a napkin, stuck it over my face and went back out there. One of the groups that I waved at was my mom and dad. Through my eye-holes in the napkin I see them walking over to me. My dad comes up and rips the napkin off my face. He said to me, “Always be proud to be a Gabel.” It was powerful. It was one of my very first lessons in life.

CM: I could write a book on the things I’ve learned from Barry. One experience that was extremely memorable was our recent work trip to Laguna Beach, California. When we get invited to present a listing, the whole team goes. We closed the deal and the whole team, buyer, seller, leasing team, debt team and even some extra family (24 people) celebrated at a terrific dinner. What I felt most heartwarming, was that Barry said something impactful about every single person at that table and how they were involved in the transaction. It was one of the most incredible experiences. Everyone was so touched by it. It’s a testament to who he is. This experience taught me a lot because you must really care about everyone involved because they are going to have some impact on the deal. Whether it’s property management, engineering, leasing, or debt and equity, he had something to say about every one of them. Caring, thoughtful, and completely impromptu. © Copyright 2018 by MP Media, LLC

I latched onto older guys that I could learn from,” says Gabel. /// Emulating those who took him under their wings, Gabel serves as a mentor to countless young professionals. This includes his partner and Vice President, Chris Marchildon, who also lost his father at a young age. “I identified with Chris because I lost my dad, too,” says Gabel. /// Marchildon was transitioning from professional baseball to the business world when he first met Gabel. /// “I really have no memory of my father, but Barry and a few others in the office knew him and remembered his influence. I recall thinking, ‘this is so cool because I’m meeting with people who knew my dad,’” says Marchildon. /// Gabel suggested Marchildon join CBRE’s Phoenix research team where he spent two years learning “the ropes” of commercial real estate. Gabel kept his sights on Marchildon and in 2010, despite being in the midst of the worst economic downturn in history, decided to add him to his office investment properties team. /// “I wanted to teach Chris the business while the market was at its worst,” Gabel says. “Only a quality team can achieve.” /// Marchildon is an invaluable member of CBRE’s growing investment sales team; Gabel’s guidance and mentoring are at the core of the team’s success.

He makes us want to be better,” says Marchildon. “You never know what the day is going to bring, but you know you’re always going to have a positive influence who’s looking over you.” /// Over the years, Gabel instilled his four guiding principles in Marchildon: demonstrate accountability, be honest, always do the right thing, and work hard. While none of these are groundbreaking ideas, Gabel knows staying the course can be difficult in a career full of competing demands. /// “Heartache is part of this business because we can’t always control the outcome of a deal,” says Gabel. “Success comes from relying on those four values.” /// Since their first meeting nearly a decade ago, Gabel and Marchildon have forged a work relationship that has evolved into a father-son bond. /// “We have a lot of similarities. We love family, friends, and giving back to the community,” says Gabel. “We really care deeply for our clients who have turned into exceptional friends.” /// Sitting down with Gabel, it’s easy to see that he truly has found passion in his work. “When I wake up in the morning, I’m excited to see my teammates. I’ve been doing this for 34 years and I’ve never once regretted getting out of bed and going to work. I think that’s the atmosphere of our team.”
In one word, describe your Mentor/Mentee:
CM: I’m a foodie. I love to cook.
BG: This is probably one of the biggest compliments I’ll ever give him. My kids will tell you the most important word to me ever is "Accountable." Chris is accountable.
What is your vice?
CM: The first word that comes to mind is "Caring." Barry cares more about his family, friends, clients and colleagues than anyone I have ever met. In addition to the care Barry shows towards people in his life, he also cares more about the detail, follow up and execution with respect to every aspect of his business.
BG: Email and French fries. CM: My secret talent is also tied to my vice… I really love good food.

TRENDS
The number of projects that involve renovating buildings and turning them into new spaces has climbed steadily since the Recession thanks to new adaptive reuse programs. Identifying potential legal issues early can prevent major pain later. Here are five tips to guard against common legal issues when redeveloping and restoring infill properties:
1
DEED RESTRICTIONS AND CC&RS: Buildings and land uses initially intended for a distinct purpose years ago may have use restrictions that limit its utility today. Study the title report and associated documents to verify whether the proposed use is permitted within or prohibited by the CC&Rs or property deed restrictions.
2
ZONING DUE DILIGENCE: The underlying zoning and attendant stipulations or conditions of approval cannot be overlooked. Proper due diligence should discover potential pitfalls by analyzing the underlying zoning, permitted uses, applicable development standards, and any restrictive stipulations of approval. Identify whether a zoning approval is tied to a specific plan of development that could impact building renovations, architectural modifications, or footprint changes.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: Parking requirements and development standards can become unforeseen obstacles. With adaptive reuse, the developer is challenged not only by the building preservation and remodel, but also by existing site constraints such as lack of parking, access, on-site circulation, building setbacks, ADA retrofitting, and more. Identifying possible code deficiencies and potential solutions is critical from the outset. Whether by variance, interpretation, shared parking model, or rezone, a variety of legal options exist which can serve as useful tools in solving common problems with adaptive reuse endeavors.

BUILDING CODES: Buildings constructed years ago were designed with entirely different code standards which can make functional changes impractical. As an example, a recent four-story office building was converted into an indoor storage facility but required massive structural analysis and re-engineering. Early issue spotting can prevent major legal problems later in the case of construction defect, negligence, or personal injury.
4
CITY PROGRAMS: Many municipalities are adopting adaptive reuse programs to revitalize existing buildings. Study the adaptive reuse program and criteria to ensure you meet the minimum requirements such as building size, historical significance, incentive area, and qualifying criteria. Know the program parameters and hire land use and zoning counsel familiar with that particular municipality’s processes, regulations, and norms. /// A good example implementing this approach is the Colony on 7th Street in Phoenix. It was previously an abandoned assisted-living facility and commercial building covering multiple parcels. /// The initial challenge was converting an older building to a new use given the mixed underlying zoning, the odd parcel shape, the narrow depth, the lack of parking, and poor access. The second set of issues involved resolving concerns from neighbors, HOAs, abutting property owners, and area activists. Third, we identified potential concerns and issues with city staff, engineering and development reviews, and elected officials. Finally, after all those items were weighed, we developed a strategy to navigate those issues and the entitlement process.

T
he restaurant business has always been subject to fads: fast-casual dining one year and food trucks the next. One of the hottest trends right now in the restaurant business, and in retail in general, is the food hall. Food halls are popping up around the U.S. At the current rate, by 2020 the marketplace will have tripled in size in the span of just five years, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s recent Food Halls of North America report. Based on underconstruction and planned projects, Cushman & Wakefield projects there will be 180 food halls by year-end and 300 by the end of 2020.
LOWER COST TO CONSUMER RESTAURANTS THRIVE IN SHARING ECONOMY HIGH LEVELS OF FOOT TRAFFIC
Food halls are not a fad. They represent a new operating model that provides users lower costs, significantly higher levels of foot traffic, and are the sharing economy for restaurants. In fact, Phoenix already has one food hall: Desoto Central Market on Central Avenue. While Desoto is the only recognized food hall in Phoenix so far, expect more in the future.

TRENDS
Phoenix has been recognized nationally for the evolution of our culinary scene. Restaurants and concepts have emerged in Phoenix and gone on to expand nationally. If the trend takes off here, it will only draw more culinary innovation as people use the food hall as an incubator space to test different ideas and will then propel our culinary scene even further with new concepts and fusions.

o the uninitiated, a food hall may simply seem like just a new take on the classic mall food court. However, there are significant differences between a food hall and the classic food court. Yes, there are multiple vendors under one roof, but food halls differentiate themselves with an emphasis on connectivity and interaction with the customer. Food halls create synergy as well as safety in numbers. However, developing food halls has some high barriers to entry because of the large amount of capital they require up front, with little to no preleasing, and not having "credit" tenants. As food halls multiply across the nation, the benefits to restauranteurs, restaurants, and consumers are undeniable.

TRENDS
They allow restaurants to inhabit a small space that takes little capital and time to get up and running. They also present an opportunity to test new concepts to grow a business and eventually become a free-standing, self-sustaining company. Food halls underscore the strength of a market’s foodie culture. Phoenix doesn’t currently have food hall projects on the scale of those found in markets like New York, Chicago, or San Francisco. Adding food halls will substantiate that Metro Phoenix has the diversity and viability to support new and innovative developments.

hree teams consisting of graduating students from Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business, Masters of Real Estate Development (MRED) program competed for cash prizes. Copperstate Development captured the top honor, garnering $1,000 each for team members Robby Leonard, Cody Wolfe, Josh Rodriguez, and Mohammed Almehaidib. /// This year’s project was the 148-acre Arizona State University Thunderbird School of Global Management campus in Glendale. It will become vacant as ASU is moving the school to its downtown Phoenix campus. /// “The biggest challenge was taking into account what the city really wanted compared to what the market was asking for,” Leonard said. “The greatest satisfaction was getting through the three-synthesis process and finally coming to a conclusion. You know what you’re looking for in the build-out process, marketing, and the pro formas. You really get to see how the development process works.” Leonard said. /// Each team was allotted 10 minutes to present a development solution followed by questions from the audience. Audience members chose the winning team immediately after the presentations. /// Mark Stapp, director of the MRED program, said the challenge has made great strides in just five years. /// “Two things get better every year,” Stapp said. “One is the support that comes from the REIAC membership and the Rockefeller Group because that’s how this becomes real in terms of the student experience and not just in theory. The student experience continues to improve as we develop an alumni base. As the program develops a reputation, we get better students every year.” /// In addition to sponsoring the annual Challenge, REIAC Southwest awards two $2,500 scholarships to MRED students that have a financial need and want to pursue real estate careers in Arizona after they graduate.

Douglas Allred Company’s Latest Development is Another Example of Vision and Timing By: Danielle Furletto
The Douglas Allred Company, a San Diego, California-based developer, is taking off with construction of a 617,000-squarefoot campus for Orbital ATK, marking another milestone in the company’s continued success to anticipate the needs, growth, and trends in the Arizona market.
Located at the intersection of the Loop 101 and 202 freeways on a 47-acre site at the southeast corner of Price and Willis roads, the 617,000-square-foot campus for Orbital ATK will serve as its Launch Vehicles Division Headquarters along Chandler’s Price Road Corridor within Park Place.

he ground-up, multiple-building facility will serve as Orbital ATK’s Launch Vehicles Division headquarters and is being constructed by Willmeng Construction. The Phoenix-based commercial contractor has been the preferred GC for Allred on nearly every project within the 180-acre Park Place campus in Chandler. Orbital ATK’s new office and state-of the-art manufacturing space are located at Park Place. /// “Dave and the team at the Douglas Allred Company have a laser focus to strategically create appealing and unique campus environments, the business acumen to assemble the land, and the ability to successfully negotiate leases that are mutually beneficial at a speed that is truly unparalleled in the market,” said Willmeng President James Murphy. /// This is the latest example of Allred’s unique blend of skill and art in anticipating an area’s potential long before a business corridor is apparent. Allred first entered the Arizona market in 1997 with the redevelopment of Allred Center at Southbank, two single-story office and manufacturing buildings. The project garnered a Best of NAIOP Industrial Build to Suit of the Year. This success continued with its second development at Eastbank, resulting in fully leasing the property as well. /// Allred has developed a successful recipe for attracting and quickly securing corporate headquarters. This includes the relocation of Infusionsoft’s headquarters from Gilbert in 2012 to Park Place and the Orbital ATK campus at Park Place in Chandler. Allred invested in more than 72 acres of land initially in 2007 at what is now known as Park Place. /// The evidence of Allred’s vision and steady
WATCH
strategy playing out was never more evident than with the commencement of a speculative office building in 2012 within Park Place. It was the only spec office building to start construction in all of Maricopa County. This bold move resulted in fully leasing the building to Infusionsoft before construction was completed. /// The same year, while Arizona was experiencing a downturn generally considered one of the worst in the nation, Allred started its second speculative development at Allred Riverpoint, a 13-acre site that later was fully leased to Asurion LLC. /// “When the dust has settled and the employment rate is up, we owe a big thank you to those who never stopped — David Allred never stopped,” Willmeng’s Murphy said in an interview nearly six years ago during the peak of the Recession. /// The consistent approach that marks Allred’s history of success in the Valley for more than 20 years stems from David Allred’s keen eye for a deal based on relationships that are genuine and loyal, coupled with the ability to predict the market ahead of the trends. /// Park Place has fully-leased all of the buildings constructed since the masterplan development first began in 2008. Upon completion, the park will encompass 3 million square feet of fully-occupied space including the project from Orbital ATK. /// Given that the park is fully leased, the Douglas Allred Company is underway with two new buildings that will deliver in Q1 2019. It will provide another 280,000 SF of inventory for future users. /// As this latest project, Orbital ATK, completes construction in 2019, we can anticipate future plans coming from Douglas Allred Company that continue to shape and lead the development in the Valley.
Developed by Douglas Allred Company, Park Place is a 180-acre, master-planned office/flex space development.
