Northern Global

This 2006 project redeveloped a 1960 auto repair facility of 8,910 square foot located within a city redevelopment area and transformed the building into office/incubator space for small businesses along the newly constructed Phoenix light rail line. The loan proceeds were used for exterior rehab and tenant improvements and acquisition of a parking lot south of the site. The interior office build out consists of four offices and contains 8,910 total SF, of which 2,200 SF is occupied by Northern Global, Inc. The NMTC financing was extremely important in getting this project off the ground as the borrow was unable to secure normal financing from local lenders. In addition, upon completion, the Great Recession hit Phoenix so finding occupants took longer than anticipated. This required patient capital when foreclosures were the norm in Phoenix and commercial real estate took a significant hit in value. An added benefit was the property was located along the Light Rail line that extended westward into downtown and central Phoenix and eastward to Arizona State University, downtown Tempe and Mesa.

Dept. of Economic Security

This project redeveloped an existing 65,000 sq. ft. building on 5.5 acres of property that was formerly a sports athletic facility and convert this into office space for the State of Arizona Department of Economic Security (AZDES).

Major renovations were needed including a new roof, electrical service, office spaces, break rooms, restrooms, lighting, landscaping, a new parking lot, site drainage and exterior faÃ§ade.

The AA Building was constructed in 1979 by Motorola and used by ON Semiconductor until the fall of 2005. The building has been vacant since December 2005. The SW Parking Lot has been abandoned since 1999. The building will undergo extensive re-modeling of the interior spaces including removing the Automated Storage and Retrieval System, and re-configuring the first floor space to provide a more flexible open floor plan.

Phoenix Union High School

In 2005, AZ Board of Regents (ABOR) began rehabilitating three vacant historic Phoenix Union High School (PUHS) buildings totaling 90,000 square feet for use by the University of Arizona College of Medicine. The campus was built in 1911 and the buildings were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The rehabilitation of these structures was part of the downtown Phoenix bioscience campus development, which eliminated blight in the downtown core while spurring new development and job opportunities. The project preserves three historic buildings and serves as a catalyst for the bioscience campus development. In addition, this project helped address the growing need for physicians and nurses within the community.
