Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Greetings, readers! This week I’m going to take a step back regarding events and networking, as I have an abundance of briefs relating to new West Valley facilities and businesses. Spanning nearly our entire circulation, new developments are coming to the cities of Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear and Tolleson, and I have the details. Ranging from fitness opportunities to more health care and moving vehicle rental opportunities, it’s all covered today. But, of course, I have to leave you with something a little sweet. So, stick around, here’s the news! Getting right into it, the “Judgement Free Zone” is coming to Buckeye. Planet Fitness will open its first Buckeye location in early 2019. At 20,000 square feet, Buckeye’s future Planet Fitness will feature stateof-the-art cardio machines and strength equipment, 30-Minute Express Circuit, fully equipped locker rooms with day lockers and showers, numerous flat screen televisions and more. “We’re excited to bring a ‘Judgement Free’ experience to Buckeye, where residents can break a sweat for just $10 a month,” said Brandon Thomas, regional director of United PF Partners, a Planet Fitness franchisee. In addition to Planet Fitness’ $10 monthly membership, a $21.99 monthly PF Black Card membership is avail-

able, with additional amenities. These include the ability to bring a guest, visit any location, or utilize HydroMassage loungers, massage chairs, tanning beds and the Total Body Enhancement booth. Though Black Card amenities vary across locations, they will be included in Buckeye. This will be the ninth United PF Partners location in the Phoenix area, and it follows one that opened in Goodyear in May. The new Buckeye Planet Fitness will be located at 1341 S. Watson Road, near Sundance Towne Center. Moving a bit farther east, Tolleson Self Storage has signed on as a new U-Haul neighborhood dealer. So, Tolleson Self Storage will now (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Westgate Entertainment District potential outlined after sale ByConnorDziawura YAM Properties Director Dan Dahl doesn’t foresee his company’s purchase of Glendale’s Westgate Entertainment District will have affect anyone. Announced June 12, the $133 million sale of Westgate from iStar Inc. to GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons’ Scottsdale-based real estate investment and development group opens up plenty of possibilities for the growing West Valley region, though. “There’s an opportunity to do additional development over time that we still have to kind of analyze that, work with the city of Glendale, who’s going to be a great partner, and figure out what the next chapter of Westgate’s going to be,” Dahl told the West Valley View. Westgate’s 76 acres are home to 533,000 square feet of retail, office and residential space. Thirty-three acres of still-undeveloped property could eventually see a boutique hotel, additional multifamily residential, office and specialty entertainment retail space in the future, according to YAM Properties’ press release. No plans are set, though, according to Dahl. “The potential at Westgate is huge,” Parsons said in the press release. He is the CEO and founder of YAM Properties' parent company, YAM Worldwide. “Westgate currently offers visitors a wide variety of entertainment options, but we’re looking to develop features that will entice even more visitors and residents to this unique and vibrant Valley location.” Though based in Scottsdale, this isn’t Parsons’ and YAM Properties’ first venture into the West Valley. The company owns the Glendale properties Arrowhead Professional Center, Il Palazzo at Arrowhead Ranch and

Citadelle Plaza. The company has more than 2.5 million square feet of commercial properties statewide to its name, and Glendale officials are looking forward to this new partnership. “Mr. Parsons’ undeniable track record of success in business and investment strategy speaks for itself,” Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers said in a statement. “The fact that he is willing to make such a significant investment is a clear indicator that Westgate will continue to be an economic driver for our community. “The Westgate development began as a catalyst project to create a unique destination in the West Valley and it has been transformed into an exciting sports and entertainment district with amenities for all ages.” Neighboring the Arizona Cardinals’ University of Phoenix Stadium and connected to the Arizona Coyotes’ Gila River Arena, the mixed-use Westgate district is home to a plethora of entertainment, retail and office spaces. Previously owned by the New Yorkbased iStar, Westgate holds tenants ranging from AMC Theatres to Dave & Busters, and the offices of the Western

Maricopa Coalition, or WESTMARC. “Westgate’s sale marks the end of a highly successful business plan that would not have been possible without the work of our Phoenix-based partners, Teetsel Properties and Vestar,” iStar Executive Vice President David Stolov said in a statement. “We are thrilled to now turn over this fantastic asset to the visionary Bob Parsons and his team at YAM Properties, while we continue to expand our core real estate finance and investment businesses.” Though the possibilities remain, YAM Properties will likely keep the “status quo” for the time being, Dahl said. Future needs for Westgate and the growing West Valley population have yet to be determined by YAM Properties, the city of Glendale, and potential developers. Dahl, however, said his company is looking into how Westgate can be taken to the next level. “The owners group that we bought it from did a great job taking it from where it was in 2011 to where it is in 2018, and we just want to kind of continue to build on that,” he said.

Located at 1371 W. Cornerstone, the 44,730-square-foot facility is scheduled to open in August. Part of the Abrazo West Master Plan, the Axis Projects Corporation-developed project is adjacent to the existing Abrazo West Campus. “Adelante has a long history working with LGE, having partnered on several health care facilities since 2008,” said Avein Saaty-Tafoya, president and CEO of Adelante. “For this project, we wanted a design-build partner who understood the Adelante standard and was committed to success as defined by us and the patients in the communities we serve. LGE’s team pays extra attention to detail and truly thinks of

the total environment of care.” Access to more comprehensive health services like internal medicine; pediatrics; family care; dental, lab, behavioral and nutrition services; and same-day appointments are offered by the facility. Designer Douglas Cardinal’s inspiration on the project was the southwest landscape and Adelante’s humanitarian mission of providing care to underserved communities. Dramatic curves and an abundance of natural light are components of the facility’s design. “Medical and patient service facilities are a critical component for every community and LGE is fortunate to be the design-build partner in constructing this state-of-the-art campus for Adelante Healthcare,” said Wayne Bell, president of LGE Design Build. “All LGE projects aim to improve the wellbeing of citizens Valleywide, but with Adelante we truly have the opportunity
