ello and welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week, we will look at a tech summit in Litchfield Park next month, as well as a Class A apartment complex that will break ground in Avondale in 2022.
WESTMARC to host West Valley Tech Summit
IN THE BIZ
WESTMARC is hosting a regional West Valley Tech Summit on Dec. 2 at The Wigwam resort in Litchfield Park. Expert speakers will focus on how Arizona continues to thrive during disruptive times. Sandra Watson, president and CEO of Arizona Commerce Authority, will share her knowledge and experience on how Arizona and greater Phoenix has become the hotspot for tech companies locating to the state. Paul Komadina, senior managing director and market leader of CBRE’s Phoenix and Tucson offices, will present his company’s scoring tech talent report that outlines key aspects needed to attract tech talent and companies. CBRE’s annual scoring tech talent report is a resource for decision making and building tech talent teams to fulfill critical business and innovation objectives in the years ahead. Expert panelists will focus on new trends in technology and how the West Valley’s targeted industries are growing with these changes.

Attendees will share their input on how the West Valley’s quality of life, qualified workforce and incubator-ready environment serve as a main driver in attracting and retaining a qualified tech workforce. “We’ve learned from the pandemic that technology was the main factor in keeping our business operations on track and, in fact, thriving over the past 20 months,” said Sintra Hoffman, WESTMARC president and chief executive officer. “Artificial intelligence is reshaping decision making, streamlining processes and creating efficiencies in our daily lives.” Registration for the event closes on Nov. 29.

Sterling acquires land for multifamily development Scottsdale-based Sterling Real Estate Partners acquired 9.6 acres of land with plans to develop a 238-unit, Class A apartment complex in Avondale. The property will feature luxury unit interiors, a resort-style pool, state-ofthe-art fitness center and furnished outdoor lounge. The land is in a qualified opportunity zone (QOZ), which provides for significant tax benefits to investors and will deliver additional multifamily housing to the rapidly growing West Valley community. “In the Phoenix metro, pricing for (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

existing assets has now exceeded replacement cost,” said David Zeff, Sterling’s president. “Sterling has always been a value investor, and now the better value is to build. We see a bright future for the city of Avondale and believe the project is positioned to take advantage of the area’s exponential growth.” The project will become an industry-leading community boasting premium amenities that will provide a high quality of life for residents and will help serve the 7.9% population growth projected over the next five years. Avondale has seen its population grow by 21.4% since 2010 and has been accompanied by rent growth of 14.3% in 2021 alone. The city has been recognized as a hub for health care, manufacturing, highly skilled and well-educated residents and known as a world class sports destination. Home prices in Avondale and neighboring Goodyear have risen 37.9% over the past year, up to a median sale price of $400,000. This has led to an affordable housing shortage in the area, creating an underserved demand for apartment living. The proposed community will feature an array of one-, two- and three-bedroom units exhibiting modern finishes with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, vinyl plank flooring and in-unit washer/dryers. Units range in size from 551 square feet up to 1,100 square feet with select units also including garages. Subscriptions are $26 for 2 years, $14 for one year. Periodicals postage paid at Phoenix, AZ 85026.

The site is within walking distance of schools, shopping and a short drive from recreation and entertainment destinations such as Phoenix Raceway, State Farm Stadium, Westgate Entertainment District, Estrella Mountain Regional Park and the White Tank Mountains. There are also a growing number of employment opportunities in the West Valley, including Banner Health, Abrazo Health, Amazon, Tar-
