Editor’s Note

Crystal Ball

Y

ou could call Jim Keeley a sort of Scottsdale Airpark seer. As the founding partner of Colliers International’s Scottsdale office and the producer of the annual “2030 Report,” he’s seen all the shifts in commercial real estate in the area over the past three-plus decades. The report, which Keeley first published in 1981 as the “Greater Scottsdale Airpark 2010 Report,” outlines everything from the biggest employers around the Airpark to projections on real estate development in the coming years. As writer Jimmy Magahern points out in this month’s feature, “Staying Power” (page 26), Keeley also sees things no one else does. He knows about the deals going down around town, from the rumored fate of the CrackerJax family fun park land to who’s building a new hangar on a massive barren lot on 81st Street just south of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard.

Scottsdale has a history of future-minded forward-thinkers – like the aforementioned Frank Lloyd Wright, whose winter home and architecture school at Taliesin West has started expanding its events programming in an effort to become a year-round destination for locals as well as tourists. You can read more about that (Photo by Cassandra Tomei) in the story “Neighborhood Place” on page 32.

Niki D'Andrea You can also read about more of Scottsdale’s Executive Editor influential and innovative figures in “Reflection & Affection” (page 34), which features a guest column, “Why I love Scottsdale,” by longtime Scottsdale resident and attorney Randy Nussbaum, who is one of five inductees into this year’s Scottsdale History Hall of Fame.

And you can see how Scottsdale has maintained its standards of living since being given a City Livability Award in 1993 by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in this month’s “Remember When” column (page 47).

Experience Scottsdale CEO Rachel Sacco also waxes nostalgic while looking forward in this issue’s “Tourism Talk” column (page 57), which examines the city’s travel savvy and destination appeal over the years.

While no one can accurately predict the future all the time, it’s safe to say the city’s draw for visitors, particularly in the late winter and early spring months, will continue to be significant.

Wondering what the future holds for business and commercial real estate development? The full “2030 Report” starts on page 22. It’s about as close to a crystal ball as you’ll find around the Airpark.

Plans include the grand opening of a new community called White Horse, the continuation of sales at the Lane’s End community, and the finalization of plans for both a luxury home enclave at the Desert Mountain community in Scottsdale and the Heirloom at Morrison Ranch community in Gilbert.

Terravita Country Club invests $5.2 million in clubhouse remodel Terravita Country Club in North Scottsdale announced it broke ground on a $5.2 million redesign and remodel of the club’s 22-year-old clubhouse in April. The project is expected to take eight months to complete.

The revamp will include new dining options and an expanded bar, as well as a design that maximizes views of the scenic desert and mountain vistas outside

through sliding door systems and additional terrace seating. PHX Architecture, Studio V and Westpac Construction have been hired to oversee the project, Terravita’s largest capital improvement project to date.

“The clubhouse is the focal point of the community and this remodel will be the culmination of many years of planning based on member input,” said

Tom Forbes, general manager of Terravita Country Club. “The members’ desire to have current, up-to-date facilities in the competitive North Scottsdale market place, and to ensure future member needs are met, was the driving force in the planning of this remodel.”

For more information on Terravita Country Club and the remodel project, visit terravita.com.

Cavalia Odysseo gives blind children multi-sensory backstage tour Children from The Foundation for Blind Children (FBC) of Phoenix were invited to experience a special sensory adventure at Cavalia Odysseo on March 15th. FBC staff, parents, and students gathered at Cavalia’s VIP Rendez-Vous tent before embarking on a guided tour led by a Cavalia artist through the stables that housed the many horses Cavalia uses for its shows. As the children walked through the stables, they got to listen to the horses whinnying and stomping their hooves. The students then had the opportunity to interact with a few of the horses, getting to smell and touch them, learn how to brush their manes and tails, and feeding them apples.

Next they went to Cavalia’s warm-up

arena, where performers train and practice with their horses for the shows. Some of the show’s musicians were there to present the many different drums they use during the show. The artists played the drums for the children and even let the children have a turn at playing and banging on the drums. Following the musical performance, riders and their horses entered the arena. The riders performed different gaits with their horses at different speeds, allowing the children to hear the movement of the horses, and feel the ground quake from the power and speed of the equine stars.

Afterwards the group was brought back into the stables to learn about the different saddles the riders and acrobats

use while performing. The children learned about what each saddle does, how the performers use them, and got to feel and touch the different leathers and textures of the saddles. This transitioned into Cavalia’s artistic tent, where they got to learn about the different costumes used during the show and had a chance to feel the different fabrics and textures.

The sensory adventure ended in the VIP Rendez-Vous tent, but the experience wouldn’t end for the families of FBC. As a special surprise and gift, each child was given a plush horse, and each family given four free tickets to come see the show, which ran through April 8 at the White Big Top in Scottsdale. …continues on page 11

If you’ve ever gone to Airpark Auto Service, chances are, you’ve met Aaron Nelson who has worked there for 25 years. Most people say that Aaron has been more than a service advisor to them; he is their friend.

Recently Airpark Auto Service was sold to new ownership. Aaron decided it was time for him to make a change too. So, Aaron has gone to work at Tri-City Transmission & Auto Repair in Tempe.

“It’s been an awesome experience,” said Aaron “and I will miss all of the friends and customers I have worked with over the last 25 years.”

Aaron has seen a lot of changes in the last 25 years when it comes to the vehicles, but when it comes to customers, their expectations always remain the same. Customers want to work with a business they can trust, who values them as a customer and as people.

Aaron is glad that he can continue that kind of service at Tri-City Transmission & Auto Repair.

Aaron says, “If I wouldn’t recommend it to my parents, I won’t recommend it to my

customers,” and the folks at Tri-City Transmission have been treating people the same way for over 45 years.

“I would love to continue the trusted relationship we have built over the years, continues Aaron. “I invite you to contact me during regular business hours at 480-9685062 or on my cell phone at 602-859-3713.”

Tri-City Transmission & Auto Repair is located in Tempe, and is easy to get to from the 101 or 202 freeways.

I attribute this to our fully trained, friendly staff of musicians, our passion for music education, and our commitment to providing a central source for everything musical parents and students need – from instruments to lessons to accessories and advice.”

Valbuena 360 Wellness Center and MedSpa has opened at 9831 E. Bell Road in Scottsdale. The facility focuses on mental health, and doctors take a whole-person approach, according to founder Paul Valbuena, MD. “Mental health is more than a chemical in the brain,” Valbuena said. “It is a body, mind and soul experience with the ultimate goal of being happy and (living a) fulfilling life over the long run.”

Dr. Valbuena is a double board-certified psychiatrist who has worked in the mental health sector for more than ten years. During his career, he says he saw the system become more medication-focused. His new wellness center will take different approaches. “Over the years our medical system has become a mill of over-prescribing and polypharmacy, lack of communication with other doctors, and treating humans as a number,” Valbuena said. “While there are good doctors trying to manage this, the system has changed from treating patients as a whole to simply medicating.”

Valbuena Wellness has a team of providers including psychiatrists, hormone specialists and even a personal trainer. “Understanding the unique dynamics and needs of an individual takes careful navigation and coordination with other providers who share the same philosophy,” Valbuena said.

Scottsdale-based real estate coach and motivational speaker Steve Rider teamed up last month with artist Ed Copley and Keller Williams to fund a replica of the famous painting “Watson and the Shark” as a gift to Boston and to honor victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Copley is the great-great-great grandson of American oil painter John Singleton Copley. He and Rider went to Boston on April 12 to donate the replica Copley created of his

famous relative’s original work in the lobby of The Fairmont Copley Plaza.

“Ed’s painting is amazing,” Rider said.

“It would be hard to tell which one is the original Copley. Ed also hand-carved the 18th-century-style frame, which says, ‘Together we are Boston Strong!’”

A video documentary of the painting process can be viewed at https://vimeo. com/104867520.

WHO IS COMMONWEALTH LAND TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY? In July 2017, Lawyers Title NCS formally changed our name to Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company NCS.

Commonwealth is a proud member of the Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF) family of title companies which is backed by the financial strength of claims reserves in excess of $1.48 Billion.

he sign on the school bus read “FREE BEER” in big, bold, black marker. The giant, flaming orange vehicle with the cocky rooster sculpture atop it stood out in the strip mall at Thunderbird and Scottsdale roads. It was long after dark and I was on my way to a fitness class, but I made a mental note to stop at this place again during the day and check out its happy hour.

Turns out, the chicken-on-a-bus gimmick barely scratches the surface of the eclectic, attention-grabbing décor at The Rooster Tavern. And there is no “free beer.” But there are some good happy hour deals on tap.

But first, let’s talk about the giant bear in the room. There’s a stuffed grizzly hanging from the ceiling over the bar. There’s also a giant moose head mounted on a plaque in one corner of the bar, next to a massive, wall-size projection screen showing sports (there are about a dozen flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the bar, all showing various sports). The corner with the moose head also features a motorcycle mounted atop the side of a booth. The owner of the bar says he and a friend put it together from scrap parts. There’s also a taxidermy fox wearing sunglasses in another corner, another rooster sculpture constructed from scrap metals perched under a TV, and several other fun and

funky touches throughout (like fake and artistically embellished bullet holes in the door that leads to the kitchen, Venetian décor in the ladies’ restroom and a graffitied alley aesthetic in the men’s room).

The Rooster Tavern touts itself as “your luxury neighborhood dive bar,” and that’s a pretty accurate description. It doesn’t feel high-brow or low-brow, but more unibrow.

There’s nothing fancy about the beer menu. In fact, there is no beer menu.

Just ask the server what’s on tap or check out the chalkboard at the back of the bar. The expected domestics like Bud Light and Miller are always available, along with Arizona’s go-to brew, Four Peaks Kilt Lifter, and a handful of other in-demand brands (like Dos Equis and Heineken) and rotating craft options from around the U.S. During happy hour – noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday – domestic beers are $3, and house wines and well drinks cost $5 (they make all the standards great

here, but don’t expect complex craft cocktails; keeping your mixed drink requests to things with three ingredients or less is your best bet).

Sliders go for $3 during happy hour, and they are scrumptious. The food menu at The Rooster is pretty impressive, composed mostly of elevated bar food like baked and grilled (never fried) chicken wings, pretzel bites with house-made cheese sauce and memorable burgers like the Boursin Burger

with its namesake cheese, Applewood bacon and caramelized onions piled on a 1/2 lb. patty.

But there are some unexpected twists, such as fried fish tacos packed with cod and coleslaw, blackened chicken and quinoa, and lobster mac and cheese. Other popular noshes include the French dip, a salty and toothsome sandwich served with a side of au jus and nostril-singeing horseradish, and the Hatch green chile hash on warm flour tortillas.

NEIGHBOR

From Playing Trevor Wilde’s football past served him well in transition to finance

By Alison Bailin Batz

L

ast month, Airpark resident Trevor Wilde, managing principal of Wilde Wealth Management Group in Scottsdale, was named to Barron’s annual list of top 1,200 advisors nationwide and 7th overall in Arizona. Barron’s develops its list based on data from more than 4,000 of the nation’s most productive advisors, and even publishes the annual rankings in the Wall Street Journal.

This is Wilde’s 10th consecutive year being honored and his highest ranking to date.

One of the secrets to his success: lessons learned as a linebacker.

The oldest of four kids, three of whom are adopted (including him), Wilde grew up in North Scottsdale, playing football from a young age.

“Learning how to set short- and long-term goals, both big and small, was ingrained in me from the first moment I stepped on the field,” Wilde says. “And while not all goals were always realistic or immediately achievable, I learned that setbacks were only temporary and to always push forward.”

Wilde eventually earned a linebacker position on Horizon High School’s nationally ranked football team – a team that would go on to win the 1995 Arizona State Football Championship.

“As my position’s name would imply, we linebackers literally line up behind the defensive linemen. What most people don’t realize is the amount of verbal and nonverbal communication required by the position to be effective,” Wilde says. “We also have to read plays quickly and respond immediately because one misstep can result in missing the tackle, or causing someone else to miss something critical.”

Wilde continued to pursue football throughout college, eventually walking on to the University of Arizona’s football team, where he red-shirted one year and played two on the national stage.

20 | Scottsdale Airpark News May 2018

to Planning “Especially then, competing on a national stage, I really started to see how every single play, every single practice, every single win and every single defeat was preparing me for my future in business and beyond,” Wilde says.

During this time, Wilde also saw the critical role that understanding teamwork, taking calculated risks and having the ability to be coached played in the lives of everyone around him.

Armed with his degree, Wilde moved back to Scottsdale in 2000 to embark on a career in finance, initially at a large firm primarily focused on retirement planning and investments. Eager to offer a deeper breadth of expertise and strategic planning to his clients, Wilde partnered with his father Bill in 2003 to found Wilde Wealth Management Group.

“Our mission from the onset was two-fold: to offer boutique, customized investment and planning advice in a fiduciary capacity, and to offer clients expanded in-house service offerings from fellow independent experts and specialists in the fields of legal, taxes, risk management, family services, real estate and even insurance,” Wilde says.

Over the past two decades, Wilde, who earned his master’s degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix, has helped grow the firm across Arizona. He now oversees four bustling offices in Scottsdale, Glendale, Tempe and Northern Arizona.

Together, the team is able to not only take all the pieces of a client’s financial puzzle and organize them, but use them to build a solid foundation that will serve not just the client, but his or her family for generations to come.

In 2011, Wilde was honored among the top “35 Entrepreneurs in Arizona under 35” by the Arizona Republic, and has been among the Top 15 Advisors out of more than 1,200 Cetera Advisors annually since 2012. In addition, Wilde Wealth Management has been recognized by

(Photo special to Airpark News)

the National Association of Board Certified Advisory Practices (NABCAP) as a “Premier Advisory Firm.”

With the business’ roots firmly planted, Wilde also ensures one more lesson from the football field translates to the firm – the concept of community stewardship. As such, he champions Wilde Wealth Management’s Wilde for Arizona ™ Community Outreach Program, which empowers the entire firm to be active volunteers, fundraisers and neighborhood champions. Through the program, they’ve been able to positively impact organizations such as Cell Phones for Soldiers, Sunshine Acres, Briggs 4 Kidz, Toys for Tots, Child Crisis Arizona and many more.

His family life is planted just as firmly.

Wilde and his wife Meghan – also a Horizon alum – have their home lives full with their four daughters, Peyton, Presley, Piper and Paige. 

SIZE ±3,300 Acres ±42,187,874 SF of Buildings

Our original report for the Scottsdale Airpark began in 1981 and was named the 2010 Report.

In that Base Year of 1981, there were 3,320 employees, 1,580,000 square feet of buildings, and 268 companies.

CURRENTLY DEVELOPED ±3,250 Acres

The Scottsdale Airpark has exceeded every recorded prediction since then. Currently, the Airpark has approximately 57,300 employees, 42,187,874 square feet of buildings and 3,150 companies.

NUMBER OF COMPANIES ±3,150

BUSINESS CATEGORIES ±130 (i.e., accountants, auto, publishing, aerospace/defense, light manufacturing, retail, high tech, healthcare & biotech, business services, hospitality, retail, etc.)

The Scottsdale Airpark is a modern “Edge City,” a term popularized by author Joel Garreau and defined by five rules, which the Scottsdale Airpark meets. In 2017, the Airpark continued to stand out for its core of over 40,000,000 square feet and 57,000+ employees. It is an employment base with mixed-use retail, offices, restaurants, apartments, condos, hotels and flex and light industrial space.

This report usually discusses what is going to change in the next 10-plus years. This year, we want to talk about what’s NOT going to change as well in the next 10-plus years.

What’s Not Changing 1. The Loop 101 Freeway stays in place, and business and development will continue to direct their future in proximity to the freeway.

2. The Scottsdale airport isn’t going anywhere, so the city made plans to tear down the old terminal and invest $27 million+ to build a new one with extra-large hangers.

3. The Millennial and Baby Boomer “movement” toward density to live, work and play in close proximity and relying less on owning automobiles.

THE GREATER SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK | 2030 REPORT | DECEMBER 2017

// Pictured Above: Henry’s Auto Showroom in the Scottsdale Airpark

What’s Not Changing...Continued 4. Talent and innovation will continue to flock to this well-branded employment base – driven by “the Millennials.”

5. YAM Holdings (Bob Parsons) seems to be here to stay, based on the massive investments in their corporate headquarters and numerous businesses added to their campus adjacent to the Northsight/Hayden roundabout.

6. The current Northsight/Hayden roundabout and four more coming via the Raintree extension from Loop 101 to Scottsdale Road.

7. The “Car Collection Enthusiasts” who have over 40 different auto collections in warehouses, hangers and flex space – more begets more.

How Does this Edge City (Scottsdale Airpark) Benefit from “What’s Not Changing”?

• Continue to promote the Scottsdale Airpark brand.

• Grow the base of the technology companies currently in the Airpark and draw more into this employment base.

• Keep the redevelopment cycle going by tearing down the 30-45 year old antiquated and functionally obsolete buildings and replacing them with new, modern, high-density MXDs. • Embrace the new transportation and circulation plans and improvements (i.e., roundabouts, shared parking, etc.).

Icons we lost in 2017 • Gary Herberger – Scottsdale Airpark Developer, Philanthropist and Visionary.

Fortunately, Gary’s brother, Judd, continues to guide the remaining family Scottsdale Airpark holdings.

2

• Bruce Halle – Founder, Discount Tire Company, Philanthropist, Arizona’s largest billionaire.

Bruce’s five guiding principals: “There are really just five simple life lessons: be honest, work hard, have fun, be grateful and pay it forward.”

Big Deals and Company Additions to the Scottsdale Airpark • Han Wei Lines, a Taiwan-based global shipping company, moves its US headquarters into the Perimeter Center.

• Carlisle Company, founded in 1917, moves their headquarters to Kierland from Charlotte, NC. They are a Fortune 1,000 global manufacturing company.

• Loco Patron opens new restaurant.

• Tesla is growing their presence in the Airpark.

New Category: Multifamily There are twenty nine apartment communities within the Greater Scottsdale Airpark area, with 7,200 total units and 7,754,031 square feet. This includes seven new projects over the last 24 months.

What Will We See in 2018 in the Greater Scottsdale Airpark?

• Two 1,000,000± SF mixed-use developments will be announced.

• Lack of available industrial space.

• A resilient economy going forward until April 18, 2020, then a subtle softening.

PREDICTION FOR 2030 We will likely see 80,000 employees, 52 million square feet of buildings and 4,000 companies.

As commercial redevelopment surges through the Airpark, which elements are here to stay?

26 | Scottsdale Airpark News May 2018

herever he looks around the Scottsdale Airpark, Jim Keeley sees things not visible to the average human eye.

“Across the street here, that’s going to be a hangar for a doctor who’s got a med evac company,” says Keeley, pointing at a vacant lot on 81st Street just south of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard that right now is dirt and desert brittlebush. “He’s going to put his planes in there and operate an air ambulance service. Right next door to him, there’ll be a guy who has helicopters and he does filming for movies.”

As the founding partner of Colliers International’s Scottsdale office, Keeley is used to peering into the future of the Airpark area. He’s been doing it since 1981, when he first began publishing his annual predictions in what he then called the “Greater Scottsdale Airpark 2010 Report,” eventually updated to the “2030 Report.”

Back then, there were only 268 companies employing 3,320 people

scattered around the Scottsdale Airport. Today, approximately 57,300 employees work at 3,150 companies here – a number Keeley expects to grow to 4,000 over the next 12 years, creating jobs for 80,000 Arizonans.

Odds are he’ll be on the money. “In my first report, I said by 2010 we’ll have 25 million square feet of building space,” he says, “and that was about right.”

His keen knack for forecasting comes in part from his nearly 40 years of experience as one of the area’s leading real estate brokers. The Colliers sign is everywhere around the Airpark, including the building Keeley’s casing today: the current 10,790-square-foot headquarters of Vault Motorsports, which Colliers is offering for a cool $2 million.

But Keeley also keeps his ear to the ground, picking up on hush-hush business dealings long before they make the business headlines. Tesla Motors, for instance, has only a small foothold in the Airpark at the moment, operating a service center on Hayden and Raintree roads and a showroom

Power

at Kierland Commons (the Palo Alto, California-based company also has another showroom at Fashion Square Mall). But Keeley has heard that the electric vehicle maker plans to significantly grow its operations in the Airpark over the next few years.

“They don’t want to talk about it yet, but they’re expanding in a bigger part of the Airpark. It’s top secret right now,” he adds, with a wink, “but I know what’s going in there.”

Keeley sometimes, sadly, also sees things around the Airpark that he knows will not be there in the future. Right now that includes CrackerJax, the beloved 25-year-old family fun park whose land has ultimately become too valuable for batting cages, bumper boats and miniature golf.

“It’s owned by the Herberger family now, but there’s another group that has their own contract to buy it, and they’ll redevelop it.”

Rumors are that group is JDM Partners, a company that includes former Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks owner Jerry Colangelo. The partners’ lavish 155-page plan on file with the City of Scottsdale calls for an ambitious mixed-use development called La Via – the last word an acronym

for Village for Innovation and Art – housing tech-oriented businesses in a large center (almost twice the size of the Scottsdale Quarter) based on “timeless plazas” in Spain, Italy and France.

“What we’re seeing is older businesses being torn down and the land redeveloped into high-density mixed-use projects,” Keeley says. “In the last four years, we’ve seen four or five of those, mainly over by the Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland. They tore down furniture stores and put in apartments, condos and office buildings.”

Asked if we’ll see another amusement park in the CrackerJax space, Keeley chuckles at the naiveté of the question. “No. This will probably be two million square feet of space, with taller buildings and more density.”

Projecting Mainstays For this year’s Scottsdale Airpark report, Keeley decided to rein in his usual prognosticating to focus more on the things in the area he expects will not significantly change.

That includes the region’s main economic drivers, the Loop 101 freeway and the Scottsdale Airport, the latter in the midst of a $27

million renovation that will bring extra-large hangers to the private jet-dominated facility.

Keeley also predicts the current emphasis on “live, work, play” environments will continue, as both Millennials and downsizing Baby Boomers have emphatically embraced the concept. And the roost will continue to be ruled by a handful of ultra-wealthy players.

“In last year’s report, I talked about eight billionaires who are impacting the Airpark,” he says. “They don’t want their names mentioned, but if you look at the industries that are expanding here, you can probably guess who they are.” One widely known wheelerdealer is former GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons (“he’s our Bill Gates,” Keeley gushes), who’s already got motorcycle dealerships, a highend golf club manufacturing facility and a video production studio scattered around the Airpark, and continues to snatch up commercial real estate in the area.

“He knows money’s like manure: If you stack it all in one place, it starts to stink,” says Keeley, with a laugh. “But if you spread it out, you see your earnings grow.”

Additionally, car collection enthusiasts – who already have over 40 different auto collections stashed in warehouses and May 2018 Scottsdale Airpark News |

hangers – will continue to build their fantasy “toy barns.” Says Keeley, “You can go buy these 2,500-square-foot garages and turn them into man caves. There’s three of those in the park now.”

Airpark Amenities Wanted All these predictions perpetuate one unfortunate disparity of Airpark life: The area will continue to cater to lifestyles economically out of reach to many of the thousands of workers employed in the stores, industrial parks and business offices that comprise one of the Valley’s largest employment bases.

Keeley admits the Scottsdale Airport itself, one of the busiest private aircraft facilities in the nation, stands as the biggest symbol of that imbalance. “Having the airport here is great, but most of the over 50,000 employees that work here don’t interact with the airport, maybe 5 percent,” he says. “So it’s a great amenity, a great landmark, you know. But most of the people who work here aren’t flying private jets.”

Rising land costs are also driving out some of the older business tenants.“The cost of land here is so high now that they’re not going to build any more of these multi-tenant office/warehouse spaces,” Keeley says.

Again he points to the brittlebush blowing in the wind across from Vault Motorsports.

“That land sold for $30 per square foot. For

industrial properties, you get about $10 per square foot. So it’s hard to make the numbers work.”

Keeley, who also sells commercial properties in the Desert Ridge and Deer Valley areas, says the Loop 101 freeway connection between the three employment bases has led to a convenient exodus for some of the smaller property owners.

“Deer Valley is still building more office warehouse space, because their land is still $10 per square foot,” he says. “So a lot of the companies that were here, small manufacturers, as the prices increased, a lot of them moved to Deer Valley, because it’s less expensive. And what fills in for the companies leaving here are more technology-type companies – which is good.”

Keeley, whose online bio touts him as “Mr. Scottsdale Airpark,” remains an enthusiastic cheerleader for the area. But he admits some more attention needs to be paid to the employees who keep the economic engine running.

“The area that has the fewest amenities for workers is the Perimeter Center,” he says, referring to the swath of business offices sandwiched between the Loop 101 and Hayden Road just north of Bell Road.

“There’s beautiful buildings up there, but there’s really no places to eat. And so all those employees that walk out the door have

to get in their cars and spend 15 minutes just getting across the canal and back to find a place to eat lunch. That’s why the Perimeter Center has higher vacancies than other parts of the Airpark.

“But there’s more restaurants coming, in time,” Keeley adds. “That’s one thing that will change.” 

Neighborhood Place Taliesin West boosts events to draw locals

By Niki D’Andrea

F

rom Shakespeare plays and pottery classes to tours and a speaker series, events and attractions are ramping up at Taliesin West, the winter home of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and site of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and School of Architecture.

Established in 1937, the 620-acre complex has long been considered a draw for fans of architecture and desert ecology, mostly from out of town. For locals, there has been the perception that once you’ve visited Taliesen West and taken a tour, there’s nothing more to see and no reason to go back regularly.

The team at Taliesin West would like to change that perception. Sure, a variety of tours are available, including the popular “Insights Tour” ($34-$36) that takes visitors on a 1.5-hour journey through Wright’s private living quarters, as well as the garden room, music pavilions and cabaret theater; the “Desert Shelter” tour ($45) that gives guests a glimpse of the student-built shelters and residences dotting the desert; and a “Night Lights Tour” ($40, reservations

required) that takes place under starry skies and includes a fire-breathing dragon sculpture. There’s also a tour of Wright’s private art collection and a guided garden walk. But there’s so much more happening on the property, says Jeff Goodman, director of marketing and communications at Taliesin West.

“This is one of the most important architectural sites in the world, and it’s right here in Scottsdale,” Goodman says.

“We want people in Arizona to know it’s here, to come here, and to be proud of it.”

There are two theaters on the property, a music pavilion and a cabaret, and each space hosts various events. The newest is the “Taliesin Next” Speaker Series, which launched in March and continues through early May (see sidebar). The series features experts speaking on a range of topics, from sustainability and Wright’s interchange with Japan to the importance of historic houses and the petroglyphs of Paradise Valley.

“As we embrace the rich history

of innovation and social good at Taliesin and Taliesin West, we also explore what this can mean for our future,” says Stuart Graff, president and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. “With Taliesin Next, we’re inviting the community into

this conversation about how to live better. With this array of discussions hosted by both the school and the foundation, we’re thrilled to welcome the community to Taliesen West, Wright’s desert laboratory for engaging, forward-looking dialogue.”

In addition to the speaker series, Taliesin West also hosts performances, including some special engagements by Southwest Shakespeare Company, musical performances by string and chamber ensembles, and classes Events at Taliesin West on everything from architecture to phoTaliesin Next speaker series: tography. “Even if you “Documenting Wright” with don’t care about Frank speaker Jeff Goodman, 6:30 Lloyd Wright and you p.m. May 2, $15.

But it’s worth it, he added.

Reflection 25th Annual Scottsdale History Hall of Fame to induct five pillars of the city

Editor’s note: This month, three people and two entities will be inducted into the Scottsdale History Hall of Fame. The San Francisco Giants and Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust will be inducted on the organization side. Don Carson will be honored for his contributions to the city’s culinary scene, most notably steakhouse Don & Charlie’s. Richard Hayslip, who has worked for Scottsdale Cultural Council in various capacities for years, including as president and CEO, will also be inducted. Attorney Randy Nussbaum of Sacks Tierney P.A. is the third individual inductee this year, and took time to reflect on Scottsdale and his connection to the city.

Why I love Scottsdale

By Randy Nussbaum

M

y wife loves to describe my relationship to Scottsdale as akin to a saguaro known for its tenacious roots. She’s right, but those roots did not grow overnight; it has been a process.

When I was 6 years old, my family moved from New York to our first Scottsdale home on Valley View off Pima Road. After a short period at Paiute, I attended Mohave Elementary.

Our first home was across the street from the Pima-Maricopa reservation. Before development on tribal lands, exploring the reservation was nirvana for a 7- or 8-yearold. In the age of unlocked doors and little crime, my parents let me wander free after school but sternly warned me to stay away from the reservation and its extensive canal system along Pima Road. But my friends and I couldn’t resist the temptation of playing in the canals’ murky waters, seeking out wildlife that thrived on the reservation and surreptitiously wandering around while curiously trying to learn about our neighbors to the east.

34 | Scottsdale Airpark News May 2018

Affection Most roads were not paved and McDonald Road was a fairly major thoroughfare but was dirt and gravel during most of the time that we lived on Valley View. One day my friends and I had the brilliant idea to climb one of the pecan trees on McDonald and hurtle pecans at the occasional truck that went by. The fun ended when a police officer climbed up behind us, hauled us down, and drove us home to our parents. The officer tried to be firm in his admonitions, but failed.

Like any normal 11-year-old, I was traumatized when my parents moved up north of Shea Boulevard in January 1967 and I had to transfer to a new school called Cocopah. But the trauma was lessened when I discovered my new best friend across the street and the freedom of living in north Scottsdale at a time in which everyone had horses and a variety of livestock on their acre-plus lots, every young teenager either had a minibike or a small motorcycle, and the most pressing question among my friends and I was whether the world came to an abrupt end at Bell Road.

You didn’t consider dressing up in Western garb during Parada del Sol week; you just did, and as I recall, we even got Friday afternoon off to attend the rodeo. I marched in the Parada del Sol for two or three years with the Mohave Marching Band and loved waving at my family ensconced on the roof of my family’s business, Carpet Mart, on Scottsdale Road.

It was not unusual for me to hang out at the family store on weekends “to help out” even as a 9- and 10-year-old. My dad eventually realized that my main motivation for showing up to “help” was the probability that at lunchtime I would be sent to the Ranch House hamburger stand to buy burgers and fries for not just me, but the other workers. As I’m writing this memoir, I distinctly remember the faces of the two women who manned the counter in a grouchy, but affectionate, manner.

My years at Saguaro High were a little more challenging because I was at that time

naturally shy around strangers and awkward interjecting myself into new groups, but did participate in a variety of schooltime activities and avoided the cut for two years to play baseball.

I graduated a semester early and took my first class at Scottsdale Community College, which led me to being a continuous supporter of that institution to this day. The only time I have not lived in the Valley since 1962 was when I attended U of A, but by my sophomore year, I returned to Scottsdale and transferred to ASU. I worked my way through both undergraduate and law school officiating all levels of sports, including intramurals, city softball, and high school baseball. I called many a game at Coronado, Arcadia, Saguaro, Chaparral, and Scottsdale High. Scottsdale was still small enough in the mid to late ‘70s that when I officiated a softball game between the police and fire departments, I knew many of the participants, and on at least one or two occasions was given a warning versus a ticket by one of Scottsdale’s finest who remembered me from the game the night before.

When I started practicing law in the fall of 1980, it never occurred me to locate anywhere else but downtown Scottsdale on Second Street off of Scottsdale Road, and I quickly began representing many of the local businesses and was proud to be the co-owner of the first law office-only building ever constructed in Scottsdale, which was completed in 1982.

I was blessed to meet Malcom White when he wandered into our law office 35 years ago and he enthralled me with stories about being the first Mayor of Scottsdale. At about the same time, Guy Stillman came by to visit one of the other lawyers and popped into my office and introduced himself. He explained to me his love of trains and his vision for McCormick Ranch Railroad Park and he so captivated me that I still support and regularly stop by the Railroad Park 33 years later.

In the early 1980s, I was introduced to the woman who became my wife, Polly, by the wife of the individual who hosted my monthly poker game. Polly was 22 and owned an antique shop on Main Street and after we were married, she opened the first auction house in Scottsdale and began conducting estate sales for the rich and famous who retired to Scottsdale in the 1970s and 1980s.

Polly and I moved to McCormick Ranch in 1984 and have lived there since. We have raised both of our boys, Michael and Daniel, through the Scottsdale School system.

From the very moment that my dad and mom drove my sister and me to Scottsdale in late 1961 to see the site of our soon-to-be-built house, this city has welcomed me with open arms. When I first started becoming actively involved in all aspects of Scottsdale 30 years ago, my involvement was always openly welcomed. I have been fortunate to have visited cities throughout the world and the United States, and I candidly can’t think of a better place to have grown up. I have tried to do whatever I could to show my gratitude to this fine city, but regardless of any of my contributions, my efforts pale in comparison to what Scottsdale has done for me.

Randy Nussbaum is an inductee into the 2018 Scottsdale History Hall of Fame and an attorney at Sacks Tierney P.A. Sacks Tierney serves Arizona businesses and entrepreneurs in such areas as commercial litigation, construction, loan workouts, real estate law, business transactions, bankruptcy and employment law. 

Brewing Cortney’s Place and Scottsdale Beer Company team up for intoxicating fundraiser

By Niki D’Andrea

A

woman sings along to a Spanish ballad on a microphone. A man stands up in front of his friends and dances to the beat of a Top 40 song. Another man gets on the microphone and simply smiles and giggles. Other people in their group are digging into pizza, sipping sodas and socializing. Everyone is clearly having a great day. And that’s the whole point.

It’s almost noon on a Thursday in late April at Scottsdale Beer Company, and the owner of the restaurant and brewery, Doug Ledger, has closed his business to the general public for a few hours so he can host this group from Cortney’s Place, a Scottsdale-based day program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Earlier in the day, Ledger gave the group of 15 students a crash course on hops and malts, passing around bowls of each and encouraging everyone to smell and taste the ingredients.

“We want to make sure they have the best day they possibly can,” says Samantha Mason, development director for Cortney’s Place. “We want to make sure they’re always heard and their voices always count.”

Cortney’s Place was founded in 2007, after Jim and Cindy Carpenter’s daughter, Cortney, was about to age out of the public school system. “I started this program when I didn’t find a good program for Cortney and she needed a program to attend once she graduated high school at the age of 22 from the Scottsdale school district. This was 11 and a half years ago,” Cindy Carpenter says. “I wanted a stimulating and meaningful program filling her days that would be exciting, while continuing to work on skills learned in school and easily lost.”

In addition to a plethora of outings like

the beer class at Scottsdale Beer Company, Cortney’s Place holds art classes, music therapy, fitness sessions, group chats and more for students at its center, located at 7000 E. Shea Boulevard. In that sense, it has achieved the Carpenters’ dream for their daughter. “Cort has had the good fortune of many experiences of going to museums, ball games, dinners, the circus, plays, etc., and I wanted her to continue being able to experience life and others just like her,” Cindy Carpenter says.

But the impact of Cortney’s Place has gone deeper. There are currently 32 students enrolled in the day program – and a waiting list of 22 people. “There are families who moved from out of state to come to Cortney’s Place,” Mason says. “We would like to be able to expand our model, and open another center.”

To do that, Cortney’s Place relies on fundraisers and assistance from the community – especially since they do not charge the families of any of their students for the center’s services. “Many parents can’t afford assistance or day programs. Those monetary restrictions are not restrictions for our families,” Mason says.

Ledger has been a supporter of Cortney’s Place for the past three years, since his banker – who was on the board of the nonprofit – asked him to donate some gift certificates for Scottsdale Beer Company.

Ledger took it a leap farther, hosting myriad events for Cortney’s Place at SBC and joining the board this past January. “It’s such a great program for life enrichment,” Ledger says.

“They get out so much and get to do so much.

Some (participants) here were nonverbal, almost vegetative, and through the events at Cortney’s Place, they’ve opened up.”

On May 17, Scottsdale Beer Company will host the first of two major annual fundraisers for Cortney’s Place. The event, dubbed “Cheers to Future Years,” features a live band, a beer garden, a food buffet, raffle and silent auction. SBC made a special brew for the occasion called Cortney’s Beer, a golden ale made with Chico yeast and Willamette hops. “It’s a nice, light, low-alcohol beer,” Ledger says. (The second major annual fundraiser for Cortney’s Place will be an “Old Hollywood”-themed gala at the Sheraton Grand Phoenix in November.)

When Ledger tells the group from Cortney’s Place that their fundraiser beer is a golden ale “because you’re all gold on my list,” there’s a collective giggle-groan, followed by myriad questions: How many flavors and types of beer are there? Why do some beer grains taste like chocolate? How many calories does beer have? Are the yeast droppings in beer the same thing as poop?

Ledger answers all the students’ questions with candor and humor. They are clearly curious and engaged, and Ledger clearly loves that.

“I consider all these kids family,” he says.

“Hopefully, Cortney’s Place becomes the standard of care.”

Tickets to the May 17 “Cheers to Future Years” event at Scottsdale Beer Company cost $40 each for general admission (includes the buffet and two drink tickets) and $100 for VIP (includes early access to the event, meetand-greets with Cortney’s Place families and a VIP guest, the buffet, two drink tickets, two well drinks tickets, and a raffle ticket).

Familial Reprise Theatre Artists Studio revives obscure classic on father-son conflict

By Kenneth LaFave

I

Never Sang for My Father may be the most famous play you’ve never heard of. But now, thanks to an independent group of Scottsdale theater professionals you’ve also probably never heard of, you’re hearing about it.

The classic drama is being produced

by Theatre Artists Studio, a collective of actors, directors, designers and playwrights whose self-proclaimed mission it is to produce plays that might otherwise escape the public’s attention.

“We’re a member-driven organization that works on our craft in a collaborative way. It’s also part of our goal to present plays that are not part of the mainstream,” says Steven Fajardo, the production’s director.

I Never Sang for My Father was once very much a part of the mainstream. In 1968, when “well-made” plays were still the ticket, and so-called “kitchen-sink” drama that pitted family member against family member thrived, Robert Anderson’s play got an award-winning Broadway production that went on to become a motion picture starring the young Gene Hackman. As tastes changed, however, the play fell by the wayside. In an article about

a 2004 revival of the piece, Variety called it “a hoary old play that doesn’t get much respect these days.”

Fajardo would like to see that change.

“It’s a very widely studied script.

The subject of conflicts and relationship differences resonates with many people,” Fajardo says.

And yet, productions are few and far between, so much so that Theatre Artists Studio production is the first ever in the Valley in anyone’s memory, and almost certainly the first local staging since the play made its initial round of local productions circa 1970.

“Each year we go through a selection process where we determine which plays to produce the following season. This was one of the plays submitted for consideration last year, and when we looked at it, we realized that it’s both a classic in the theater community, and barely known to the general public,” Fajardo says.

The problem may be the script’s oldfashioned language and approach. Playwright Anderson was called “the dramatist of loneliness” in his heyday of the 1950s and 1960s. I Never Sang for My Father focuses on the troubled relationship of a

son and his father, a situation that is still today, as ever, relevant. But the details may seem remote and unlikely, such as when the father throws his daughter out of the house for marrying a Jewish man.

The broader themes of familial love and alienation overcome such cultural anachronisms, Fajardo says. The son in the play is always trying to get his father’s love but never succeeding – what more powerfully present theme could there be?

“Here is a father who is distant and over-achieving, and a mother who’s trying to do the best she can. One character in the play has a dementia-related condition. Those things still ring true,” Fajardo observes.

The cast features Theatre Artists Studio members Tom Koelbel, Judy Lebeau, Carol Gibson, Al Benneian, Patti Hurtado, William Mosely, and David Heap, along with guest artist Charles Sowder.

I Never Sang for My Father takes place at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m.

Sundays through May 13 at Theatre Artists Studio, 12406 N. Paradise Village Parkway East, Scottsdale. Tickets cost $15 to $25.

“There’s a fine line between preserving something and capitalizing on something,” Allman says. “It would be in bad taste to come out and do two hours of Allman Brothers. We’re the sons. I think it’s appropriate to continue to do our thing and thrive and grow our careers.”

The set will mostly include their own material. Allman formed a six-piece ensemble, The Devon Allman Project, while guitarist Betts, the son of Allman Brothers Band’s cofounding guitarist Dickey Betts, is pursuing his own career.

Betts will play a 35-minute set, and Allman will hit the stage for 80 to 90

minutes. The two will unite for a 40-minute encore.

Betts and Allman have wanted to tour together for many years, but the two found this was the right time. “We’ve been friends for years,” says Allman, who played the MIM in 2016. “We wanted to join forces for a while, but it just never seemed to be the right time. Now was the right time.

“I’ve been out there touring for 15-plus years, and he’s been a sideman for 10 years.

He’s been wanting to do his own record and front his own band. It seemed like a good time to put the two together. The world has not seen an Allman and a Betts on stage together for a long time.”

The two will tour for most of the year. At the end of the summer, Allman is going to work on a new record and launch a record label in the fall. “I just always want to work,” Allman says. “I want to bring music to the people, make people feel good, and

continue to make records. The more you do it, and the more you stay out there, the more people pick up on it.”

Allman signed his first artist, his guitarist Jackson Stokes, who will release his album in the fall. Allman has his eye on a few other acts. His goal is to do something that major labels don’t have the time to do: nurture young artists.

“It’s a shame,” he says. “They used to.

Major labels used to give artists until their third or fourth record. They would stick with you. It’s not the case anymore. I want a place where people can start a career and I can leave this planet knowing I launched 10 careers or so. That would make me happy.”

The Devon Allman Project with Duane Betts performs at 7 and 9 p.m. Sunday, May 27, at the Musical Instrument Museum, 4725 E. Mayo Boulevard, Phoenix. Tickets cost $43.50 to $53.50. Call 480-478-6000 or visit mim.org for more information. 

n o i t a c a V n I y Fl View of Main Street in Old Town Cottonwood

The Verde Canyon Railroad operates year-round and hosts several special events.

Cottonwood: A big deal small town Story and photos by Niki D’Andrea

K

nown as “The Heart of the Verde Valley,” Cottonwood packs a lot of culture into a so-called small town (pop. 12,000). Art galleries, antique shops, book stores, wine tasting rooms and restaurants line Main Street (aka the commercial historic district), and parks populate the surrounding Verde Valley, from state parks to out-of-this-world animal attractions.

Down on Main Street Cottonwood boasts quite possibly the best Main Street in all of Arizona. People stroll along its shaded sidewalks every weekend all year-round, window shopping and stopping in a variety of unique local businesses.

Antique lovers – or anyone who appreciates big, fun and funky displays – should

check out Larry’s Antiques (larrysantiques. com). The old West-looking, wood-shinglecovered building is impossible to miss – it’s covered in antique signs and wacky outdoor decor like a fake skeleton in the driver’s seat of a rusty ancient car. Enhancing the frozen-in-time vibe is Bing’s Burger Station (bingsburgers.com), located next to Larry’s.

Located in a refurbished 1940s gas station, the popular diner retains its service station roots – two Gilmore gas pumps are out front, with a red 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe Sedan permanently parked next to them.

A short walk down the street, pedestrians can peruse and sample various vinegars and olive oils from around the world at Verde Valley Olive Oil Traders (vvoliveoil.

com). Local art including jewelry, clothing, paintings and pottery exclusively fills places like Dragonfly Handcrafted Local Art (dragonflylocalart.com) and Hart of Arizona Art Gallery (hartofazgallery. com). Book lovers will delight in the epic Adventures Unlimited Books (adventuresunlimitedbooks.com), which stocks thousands of tomes on topics ranging from aliens to zen, plus hiking guides, New York Times best sellers, children’s books and pulp paperbacks. There are many more shopping options, from a flower shop to a quilting supply store.

There’s no shortage of food options on Main Street, either. About 18 different restaurants dot the strip and surrounding streets. Highlights include Thai Palace

For breakfast, two places offer equally great eats – Old Town Red Rooster Café (oldtownredrooster.com), which serves hot breakfast classics in a cozy diner environment, and Crema (cremacafe89a.com), which sells drinks and delicious pastries from its walk-up-only window.

If one is exploring the Verde Valley for any length of time or wishes to imbibe at any (or several) of the wine tasting rooms that line Main Street, getting a room at one of the lodgings in Old Town is a good idea. The largest hotel on Main is The Tavern Hotel (thetavernhotel.com), which has an embedded bar and grill, followed by the historical Cottonwood Hotel (cottonwoodhotel.com), where John Wayne once stayed. The newest hotel on the strip is The Iron Horse Inn (ironhorseoldtown.com), a boutique renovation with a young vibe and courtyard lit by a canopy of holiday lights. Rooms at all three tend to fill up fast, so booking in advance is recommended.

n o i t a c a V n I y Fl Guests at Burning Tree Cellars enjoy wine in an open, airy atmosphere.

The Verde River runs alongside the Verde Canyon Railroad tracks.

Wine Walk Thanks to its semi-arid climate and access to the water of the Verde River, The Verde Valley is a thriving wine region. More than a dozen wineries operate in the area, and Main Street is home to nine tasting rooms.

That’s too many to visit in one day, but four is a manageable number, especially spread over several hours. Must-stops are Arizona Stronghold (azstronghold.com), which offers gourmet grilled skewers in addition to its Cochise County wines; Burning Tree Cellars (burningtreecellars.com), which sells wines with grapes from various places, but mostly California and Arizona; Pillsbury Wine (pillsburywine.com), which makes wine with only 100 percent Arizona grapes; and Merkin

Vineyards Osteria (merkinvineyardsosteria. com), owned by musician and winemaker Maynard James Keenan.

Verde Canyon Railroad

The Verde River winds its way through and around Cottonwood and surrounding towns like Clarkdale, creating a lush riparian area. One of the best ways to see the river – along with several other very cool things – is aboard the Verde Canyon Railroad. The train takes passengers inside its namesake canyon and past several interesting landmarks, including the old TAPCO power plant, some Sinagua Indian ruins and two trestle bridges, as well as through a 680-foot tunnel that was built by a crew of Swedes in 1911. The train makes a short stop and turns around in the ghost town of PerkinsRing’s Burgers exudes a classic American ville. Built in 1912 by the roadside diner vibe.

Santa Fe Railroad, Perkinsville had at its peak 12 families. The town was rapidly abandoned when the Clarkdale copper smelter closed in the early 1950s. A few scenes from the 1962 film How the West Was Won were shot in Perkinsville, with stars George Peppard, Debbie Reynolds and Eli Wallach being filmed in the depot.

While aboard the (Photos courtesy geniferm.com) train, passengers can

42 | Scottsdale Airpark News May 2018

relax in their cars, which have cushioned seats, bathrooms, bars and, in first class, a buffet and beverage services, or passengers can walk to one of the open-air observation cars to take in the fresh air and listen to guides shout about the landscape and local history over the roaring locomotive.

Verde Canyon Railroad has a partnership with rescue and rehabilitation organization Liberty Wildlife, so some train rides might include a special guest like a bald eagle, which handlers take through the cars and show to passengers, who can pose for photos with the majestic bird.

It’s worth arriving for the train early to spend some time in the train depot, which includes a museum full of railroad artifacts and memorabilia, a shop and a restaurant called the Copper Spike Café, which serves a pretty good bowl of chicken tortilla soup and tasty cheeseburgers that pair well with any of the three railroad-themed beers brewed for them by Oak Creek Brewing in Sedona.

Verde Canyon Railroad has special events including nighttime Starlight Rides, Ales on Rails with Sedona craft beers and (new this year) winter train excursions to a holiday village they’re building in the desert. Visit verdecanyonrr.com for details.

Dead Horse Ranch State Park History buffs can hit up Cottonwood’s Clemenceau Heritage Museum (celemenceaumuseum.com), Tuzigoot National Monument (www.nps.gov.tuzi/index.htm) and the Arizona Copper Art Museum in Clarkdale (copperartmuseum.com), but fans of fishing, camping, hiking and horseback riding can find their thing at Dead Horse Ranch State Park (azstateparks.com/dead-horse).

The ranch was originally owned by the Ireys family, who bought the land in 1953 and let the children name it. The story goes that the family visited various ranches and when they got to this one, the children saw a large dead horse lying in the field. Later, when their father asked which ranch they liked best, the children replied, “Dead Horse Ranch.”

Scottsdale as

Most Livable City – 25 Years Later

Redevelopment of the Arizona Canal banks into multi-use residential, retail, restaurant and community gathering spaces has enhanced downtown’s livability.

By Joan Fudala

T

wenty-five years ago, residents, visitors, businesses and officials were thrilled to learn that the U.S. Conference of Mayors had awarded Scottsdale its coveted City Livability Award for 1993. In accepting the award on behalf of the citizens of Scottsdale at the New York Conference of Mayors, then-Mayor Herb Drinkwater called it “the most important award the City of Scottsdale has ever won.”

What caught the judges’ eyes to select Scottsdale for this honor in 1993? According to the announcement, “In the early 1980s, Scottsdale saw that the downtown was sliding, and the mayor and council decided to reverse that trend – and they have done so magnificently,” the judges wrote.

“Scottsdale’s downtown revitalization effort began in earnest in 1989 with passage of the city’s $287.2 million bond program, of which $30 million was committed to the downtown area” – addressing traffic and parking, historic character preservation and the economic vitality of the various shopping districts.”

That same year, national publications ranked Scottsdale as the best resort community in America (Zagat’s U.S. Hotel, Resort and Spa survey), a great place to retire (“50 Fabulous Places to Retire,” 1993 edition) and among the Top 30 U.S. Cities

to Raise Children (Zero Population Growth Study, 1993).

Based on these accolades, Arizona Governor Fife Symington proclaimed the week of July 18 to 24 as a statewide Salute to Scottsdale Week, and U.S. House of Representatives Congressman from Arizona Jon Kyl inserted a tribute into the Congressional Record. The city added the Most Livable City slogan to the city’s entry signs and on its stationary, and the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce created a Most Livable City/ Best Resort Community logo that businesses throughout the community added to promotional materials. We were loud, proud and on a roll.

What was Scottsdale like 25 years ago when these honors were bestowed?

The city’s population was an estimated 145,000 (up from the 130,000 recorded in the 1990 U.S. Census); today the population is estimated at 242,700. Most of the population was concentrated south of Bell Road; however, many new master-planned communities were under development or planned for vast areas of pristine desert north of the Central Arizona Project Canal.

Land in the Scottsdale Airpark was only about 50 percent developed. Due to a grassroots citizen awareness-raising effort, …continues on page 48 May 2018 Scottsdale Airpark News |

…continued from page 47 the mayor and city council appointed a McDowell Mountain Task Force to study legal ways to save the McDowell Mountains from development (since much of the land was already zoned for development). Construction was about to begin on the planned Loop 101 Freeway along Scottsdale’s eastern border, sure to bring additional development to Scottsdale.

Fast forward 25 years to 2018, and consider what has occurred in Scottsdale that could again – in many optimists’ opinions – garner another livability award: Starting at the southern part of the city, the area known as the McDowell Road corridor has seen significant redevelopment since 1993, when the area s t i l l re l i e d o n c a r dealers and Los Arcos Mall for its economic engine. Now the Scottsdale/ASU partnership at SkySong (located on the former mall site) has been the catalyst for a rebirth of business, retail, hospitality and residential for that area.

Downtown Scottsdale has also experienced an impressive renewal over the past 25 years, adding residential, business and amenities. The plan for the Arizona Canal that earned us the Livability award in 1993 is now a reality, with

Scottsdale’s Museum of the West (2015) have become major destinations downtown for tourists as well as the thousands of residents and businesses that have moved into the downtown area since 1993. The Scottsdale Galleria – which was virtually empty of retail and restaurants by the end of 1993 – is now a sought-after corporate address. Scottsdale Fashion Square has expanded several times in the past two decades and continues to reinvent itself to stay relevant as shopping trends change.

With the expansion of HonorHealth (Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center, Thompson Peak Hospital, merger with John C. Lincoln network) and Mayo Clinic (Mayo Hospital, Mayo Medical School), Scottsdale has evolved into a major healthcare and medical research center, branded as the “Cure Corridor.”

After citizens voted to modestly increase Scottsdale’s sales tax to fund land purchases for the 1994-created McDowell Sonoran Preserve, over 30,000 acres have been acquired and pre-

In 1994, the Past Presidents Council of the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce held its first Scottsdale History Hall of Fame induction dinner; to date, 135 individuals and 25 organizations and businesses have been honored for their contributions to Scottsdale’s heritage.

Development on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community since the mid-1990s – casinos, Talking Stick Resort/ Spa/Golf Course, Salt River Fields baseball stadium, OdySea aquarium, Butterfly Museum, etc. – has added to the variety of entertainment options for residents and Mayor Herb Drinkwater, Scottsdale City Council, Governor visitors to Scottsdale.

While much is new, many of Scottsdale’s institutions continue to make our community “most livable” – from the Parada del Sol, Spring Training, the Barrett-Jackson auto auction and the Waste Management Phoenix Open events to a wide variety of civic and charitable organizations that address community needs.

Big Dreams Champagne bar focuses on vegan offerings

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

W

hen restaurant consultant Joseph Cuevas was hired to reimagine Bubbles at Shea and Scottsdale roads, he was set on making it vegan and fun – not only with the menu, but the vibe as well.

“We’re the only vegan bar in the Valley,” Cuevas says. “We primarily serve Champagne. Most Champagne is not vegan. They have gelatin, casein, egg whites or fish bladders. Ours have no animal products at all.”

Cuevas reopened Bubbles on December 13 as a fully vegan restaurant, mirroring the beliefs of owner Alexis Voss of France.

A new cocktail menu hits the spot, Cuevas says.

“The wines we are using are made to taste like traditional alcohol,” he says.

The Tickle Me features pomegranate juice, prosecco and lime for $12, while Pastelito mixes guava juice, “vodka,” vanilla sugar and brut for $16. The

Diamond Fizz is a popular choice, with “gin,” lemon juice, powered sugar, aquafaba and prosecco for $13.

As for food, the options are droolworthy. Cuevas focused on playful and nostalgic snacks like artisanal toasts with varieties like eggplant, Casa-

But perhaps the most interesting is the Stoner with hummus, chipotle salsa, popcorn and balsamic glaze.

“As for the toast, the avocado toast is the most popular,” Cuevas says. …continues on page 52

Vegan cocktails like this Caribbean Sangria are just some of the unique offerings at Bubbles.

“The Stoner toast, which has a funny name, is the second-most popular one. It’s a fun one. People love ordering it. One customer said, ‘It’s something that a stoner or a pregnant woman would have come up with.’”

The ever-changing dessert options have included caramel chocolate apples and lemon bars. But a standard is gourmet organic cotton candy in different flavors that sit atop cocktails.

“People love the cotton candy,” he says. “Most cotton candy isn’t vegan. Regular sugar isn’t vegan. We use organic sugar, which isn’t

flavored with artificial colors. That’s why they’re pale colors.”

This all plays into Cuevas’ dream.

“I looked at what it originally was: a French date-night kind of place” he says. “I wanted to stay true to that original concept with Bubbles – Champagne, wine and be higher end. But it had to be a little more fun so it would bring in a more youthful crowd. I play all ’90s music. I wanted snacks that we had as a kid, but with a twist. I chose ’90s music because it’s making a resurgence. There are ’90s cover bands, ’90s DJ nights, TV shows and movies.”

But the restaurant isn’t just for vegans. Meat eaters are pleasantly surprised at the selections at Bubbles, Cuevas says.

“It’s always fun when non-vegans come in and I go over the menu with them,” he says. “They always leave happy. All of our toast options are substantial. People think vegan food is unfilling or just salads or something. They’re more substantial items.”

Cuevas and Voss have a lot in common.

“I went to art school,” says Cuevas, who previously lived in New York and Los Angeles. “When I moved to Phoenix, I got more into the culinary scene. I owned a café in Downtown Phoenix that was fully vegan. It closed last year so I could focus on consulting. That’s what I prefer to do – help a person or a family figure out how to make things vegan, how it suits them

and make it vegan.”

Cuevas says Voss loves Champagne and he spoke with vineyard owners in France. He spoke with them about changing the filtering process to appeal to a broader audience. (Voss was out of the country and unavailable for an interview.)

There are more changes in store for Bubbles.

“We’re going to redecorate inside,” Cuevas says. “We’ve been focused on the menu, staff training and coming up with cocktails. We’ll redecorate in different phases. We’re going to get new tables, repaint the walls. We want to decorate the

walls so customers will want to put photos on Instagram. We want this to be perfect.” 

om. Apple Pie. Roses. It all seems to fit for the month of May! That’s why I’m sharing one of the prettiest recipes this month, just in case you want to give Mom a delicious gift from your kitchen for Mother’s Day! These Apple Roses are so simple and yet make such a spectacular presentation! You can tell Mom she’s the apple of your eye, hand her a dozen “roses” right out of the oven and win her heart all over again! It’s one of the sweetest recipes you can cook in May.

Step 2: Roll Up Step 3: Bake

Apple Roses Ingredients: 3 crisp apples 2 sheets of puffed pastry, thawed 6 tablespoons butter, melted 1 cup brown sugar 6-8 tablespoons of water 2 tablespoons of lemon juice Cinnamon sugar (1/2 cup sugar plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon, mixed) Directions: Thaw puff pastry according to package. Slice the apples in half. Peel and core, then cut into very thin slices. Place slices in bowl and cover with water and lemon juice. Microwave for five minutes until slightly tender, then drain into a colander.

Place thawed pastry on a floured surface. Roll each puff pastry sheet to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Cut into six equal portions. Spread butter over pastry then sprinkle with brown sugar. Place apple slices along top edge of dough, overlapping slices slightly. Fold bottom half of dough up over bottom part of apple slices. Starting from one end, roll dough to form a rose-shaped pastry. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Transfer roses to cupcake tin.

Because of Scottsdale’s tourism industry, residents and visitors alike enjoy world-class amenities, including museums, art galleries, resorts, golf courses and restaurants. All those resorts and hospitality businesses employ thousands of people in Scottsdale; roughly one in 10 jobs are directly related to tourism. And all those dollars spent at hospitality businesses by millions of visitors from around the world help alleviate the tax burden on residents.

These are just some of the feats of Scottsdale’s tourism industry. With all this in mind, I hope you’ll join us in our celebrating this important industry both during National Travel and Tourism Week and beyond. 

Outside-the-box Sedera Health

By Paul Breslau, Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc.

T

he breaking point for businesses to pay for health insurance is here for some Arizona employers and rapidly approaching for most others. This means businesses can no longer allocate enough cash toward the cost of employer-based health insurance.

Many employees at these same businesses are already past their breaking points. Increasing employee premium contributions combines with higher deductibles to contribute to medical expenses being the No. 1 cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States.

Outside-the-box It is time for businesses to start exploring outside-the-box solutions. Health insurance, as we have known it, has major strikes against it. First, the degree of complex federal and state regulation is mind boggling. Second, insurance is not the appropriate tool for providing everyday healthcare. Insurance works best for sudden and unforeseen events that cause financial catastrophes. Third, insurance is predominately a non-productive middle entity adding delay and cost to providing healthcare.

My prediction is there will be an array of outsidethe-box solutions coming to market. Options for direct primary care and cost-sharing plans are already here for individuals and families. For businesses, the EverydayCARE plan from Scottsdale’s own Redirect Health is an impressive direct primary care-style option that has helped a dozen of my clients over the last few years. On the mega side, there are recent announcements such as the Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan health insurance partnerships, not to mention possible mergers such as Walmart, Humana and CVS, and Aetna.

Sedera Health A business-only cost-sharing plan for employers has recently been introduced in Arizona. According to its website, sedera,com, “Sedera Health is a medical cost-sharing community inspired by the modern sharing economy.

Our non-insurance community is centered on a commitment to healthy living and sharing the cost of medical care. In doing so, we are able to provide high-end healthcare for members and their families at a more affordable price than conventional health insurance. While we’re built on Christian principles, our members do not have to be affiliated with a religious group – all are welcome.”

60 | Scottsdale Airpark News May 2018

Business advantages to Sedera Health include significant cash savings combined with restoration of the direct doctor-to-patient relationship in healthcare. There is a whole new way of thinking about healthcare needs since there are no longer premiums, copays, deductibles, and co-insurance limits. “Sedera Health can also be paired with other coverage such as EverydayCARE from Redirect Health for a complete and Affordable Care Act-compliant healthcare package,” advises Paul Johnson, CEO of Redirect Health. “There is also a significant Sedera Health discount when cost-sharing is combined with EverydayCARE so that the value proposition becomes even more compelling.”

There are some downsides to cost-sharing, including exclusions and limitations. With Sedera Health, examples include sharing limitations on pre-existing conditions which are phased in over a three-year period with some common conditions excepted. Tobacco users pay more and have some sharing limitations. There is no cost-sharing for abuse of drugs or alcohol or for infertility. There are no pre-existing limitations for the EverydayCARE plan from Redirect Health.

Evaluate All health insurance plans have exclusions and limitations, so don’t let them prevent your business from an evaluation of Sedera Health. This is a newly introduced service concept and getting an evaluation may be a challenge. Start now since health insurance agents are crushed with work in the fourth quarter because most business renewals are in January.

I am now partnering with leading local health agents, so please reach out to me at 602-6926832 or Paul@HRaz.com for an initial conversation, evaluation, or referral. 

The 6 unspoken rights of commercial tenants and buyers

By Stephen A. Cross, CCIM

I

n the majority of commercial real estate transactions, well-meaning but underinformed tenants and buyers are pitted against well-informed property owners and their agents. Because the parties have opposing economic objectives, tenants and buyers should not only understand their rights but also preemptively take steps to protect these rights. The following is a discussion of the six largely unspoken rights to which tenants and buyers are entitled.

No. 1: Know WHO protects your interests (and who does not).

A material difference exists between real estate agents, who typically list properties and have a fiduciary duty to protect the interests of property owners, and bona fide real estate advisors, who do not accept listings and, as a result, can render unbiased opinions and guidance to their clients. Tip: Regardless of the size of the transaction, never deal directly with a listing agent, property owner, or asset/property manager.

Instead, outsource the responsibilities of site selection and lease/purchase negotiations to a real estate advisor who contractually agrees to have a fiduciary duty to place your interests above all others.

No. 2: Know WHAT concessions can be negotiated.

A concession is any deviation from the property owner’s advertised lease or purchase price. While there are only a few variables to consider when buying property, lease negotiations, when performed properly, are considerably more complex.

Factors that can affect the overall cost of occupancy include (but are not limited to): the lease term, free rent period, tenant improvements, rental escalations, operating expenses, warranties, parking, signage, building hours, and the leasable area. Tip: At lease renewal time, I suggest shopping around, as the terms, conditions and concessions available at competing properties represent your strongest leverage when negotiating an extension (read: make your present landlord compete to retain your tenancy).

No. 3: Know WHEN a proposal should be made, and in what form.

As suitable spaces or properties are identified, I recommend submitting non-binding Letters of Interest as the initial leasing or purchasing proposal. These documents should contain those terms and conditions under which you are prepared (but not obligated) to proceed with a lease or purchase. Tip: Insist that all counter proposals be tendered to you in writing, and take sufficient time to review the proposed terms and/or conditions before responding… also in writing.

No. 4: Know WHERE the best deals are likely to be found and WHICH property owners have the most urgent needs.

Details about sales prices are part of the public record. However, the particulars of commercial leases are proprietary and seldom made public by either tenants or property owners. As a result, there exists a scarcity of generally available information about comparable transactions (“comps”) – which works to the advantage of landlords and agents that list properties. Tip: Since vacancies, pricing and incentives are continually changing, be certain your real estate advisor has firsthand knowledge about recently completed transactions; access to the commercial databases containing information about vacant spaces or properties for sale, without regard to the listing agent(s); and insight as to which property owners are apt to have the most pressing need or desire to lease or sell.

No. 5: Know WHY leasing or owning is best for your circumstances.

Generally, if you can plan your space needs for the next five years, and the money required for a down payment is not needed to operate or grow your business, you should consider owning. Begin the process by talking with your CPA and an experienced, objective real estate advisor. Learn more about this subject in my article “Lease or Buy?” available at crossrealty.com. Tip: By paying as little as possible to lease space and setting aside the savings toward a down payment, many tenants can become owners in just 3 to 5 years (a typical lease cycle). At some point, you

may no longer need to occupy the building you own and can lease or sell it to others. In the long run, this income-producing strategy can provide a significant source of revenue for your family.

No. 6: Know HOW to get value from the commission.

Real estate leases and sales usually generate commissions (typically 5 to 8 percent of the total transaction amount) that are shared between the agents or licensed advisors representing each party. Even though the property owner writes the commission check, it’s the tenant or buyer that ultimately pays the tab. In that regard, tenants and buyers who represent themselves get no benefit from the commission but the full amount is still paid to the listing agent(s). Tip: Make certain you receive value from your “side” of the commission by retaining an experienced, licensed representative – after all, you’re paying for it.

Closing thoughts: With rights come duties and obligations. As most business owners, physicians and other service providers must focus their full attention on running their business or practice, neither they nor their staffs have adequate time to thoroughly research suitable locations and become proficient at negotiating the best possible terms and conditions. Landlords and their agents know this and exploit the disparity in experience and access to meaningful information. Nevertheless, consider it your duty to minimize your costs of occupancy, and your obligation to select an objective representative to manage the process. Remember: Property owners have advisors who protect their rights – and so should you. 

Integrative medicine and 10 essentials for health and wellness Special to Airpark News

A

s the American healthcare system grows progressively stressed, truly patient-centered care becomes increasingly difficult to find. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach that works for everyone and more people than ever before are looking for alternatives to the conventional healthcare model so they can receive customized, personal care.

That’s why many physicians focus on integrative medicine that puts the patient first.

The TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine is one such multi-disciplinary model. We sat down with TriVita Clinic’s medical director, Dr. Ankit Chander, MD, and Paul Bernitt, TriVita’s administrator, to learn more about the clinic and integrative medicine.

What is integrative medicine?

Dr. Chander: Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that puts the patient at the center and addresses the full range of physical, emotional and spiritual influences

that affect a person’s health.

It combines state-of-the-art, conventional medical treatments with other evidencebased complementary and alternative therapies that are carefully selected and shown to be effective and safe. The goal is to unite the best that conventional medicine has to offer with other healing modalities and therapies derived from new innovations in technologies and ideas both old and new.

What’s the back story on the TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine?

Bernitt: Michael Ellison, the founder of the clinic… he had an actual health crisis of his own, and that’s what birthed TriVita Clinic. His story is, he went to the best medical institutions in the world, and they just basically said, “You’re burned out.

You’ve got to stop what you’re doing.”

And that’s where this whole purpose message came from. When illness sets in,

Dr. Ankit Chander, TriVita Clinic’s medical director

it’s like your purpose gets taken from you, and what you’ve done to work so hard to accomplish suddenly comes to an end.

Michael overcame his own health crisis, created the 10 essentials (see sidebar), and saw a tremendous opportunity for lifestyle changes not only in himself but for others. …continues on page 64

10 Essentials for Health & Wellness 1: Breathe deeply. A healthy immune system is dependent upon deep breathing.

2: Drink water to help your mind and body stay in balance, clear away waste and use food efficiently.

3: Sleep peacefully. Too little sleep can set us up for premature aging, depression and other serious issues.

Try for 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep each night.

4. Eat nutritiously with a focus on vegetables and fruits. Go easy on fat, salt and sugar.

5. Enjoy activity. Exercise improves your mood and outlook on life, gives you more energy, and promotes strength and flexibility.

6: Give and receive love. The nurturing you receive from loved ones helps your immune system stay healthy.

7: Be forgiving. Holding on to past resentments doesn’t just cloud your emotional health. Your physical self can suffer stomach problems, muscle aches and more.

8. Practice gratitude. Focus on the positive to boost your emotional health and reduce stress.

9: Develop acceptance when you know there are things in life that you can’t change.

10: Develop a relationship with God. People who nurture their spiritual selves every day have lower blood pressure, fewer strokes and less emotional turmoil.

Our Focus Your Success

Can you do both what a naturopathic and a primary care doctor do?

Dr. Chander: I’d say that’s one of our biggest questions and for the most part the answer is yes. A good number of our patients are looking for traditionally trained doctors who can do that, or at least be aware of and work with their naturopathic physicians. This is why most patients turn to integrative medicine; it aligns with their values, beliefs and philosophies about health. Others prefer the customized approach that puts the patient at the center of whole-person care.

What can patients expect on a visit?

From financing to improving cash flow, our business banking professionals offer customized financial solutions to fit your strategic goals.

We are committed to long-term relationships built on trust earned through proven financial guidance.

Give us a call today, let’s get started.

Bernitt: We can generally do same-day appointments on most days. We can get our patients in quickly, and more efficiently – and I think that’s really the key to what we do. We know we can’t fix a person in one meeting. It’s just not going to happen. We’ve got to peel back those layers and look for potential causes of conditions. We really thought through the programs needed in a primary care setting – it’s heart health, it’s depression and anxiety, it’s pain and it’s brain health. If you go into any GP practice, that’s what they’re dealing with every single day. And so we just thought, “Let’s go get the tools so we can focus on that over here,” rather than providing a pill for every ill, sending them over to psych, sending them over to the cardiologist, send them wherever – we can do the vast majority of what is needed on site, and we’ll actually find it sooner and get them to the specialist if needed sooner.

What drew you to work for TriVita Clinic?

Dr. Chander: The mission of the leadership… to truly help. I trained in medicine at Johns Hopkins and when I came to Phoenix, I really thought there would be a lot more opportunities for integrated medicine. Then I met with the leadership at the TriVita Clinic and their belief to empower their patients to actively participate and take control of their health truly resonated with me. At the TriVita Clinic of Integrative Medicine, we have the opportunity to truly focus on whole-person care. Our main focus is on early detection, prevention, low-cost treatment and reversal of lifestyle-related diseases.

MAY 2018 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers

ARIES 3/21-4/19 A major planetary shift for the next seven to eight years will put you on more stable ground. It’s not a “back to the future” scenario but “back to reality.” Circle the 15th of the month, when planet Uranus makes its debut. Powerful influences will be felt in this

area of your chart, your second house, which relates to money and earning potential.

TAURUS 4/20-5/20 Personal changes are the name of the game this month, with the new moon on the 15th meaning it’s time to reinvent yourself in a personal way (how you present yourself to others). You may have to be forced to adapt quickly to a new opportunity, new restrictions or worldwide happenings. Use caution when making financial decisions around the 29th and 30th.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20 Keep a low profile and confidences to yourself as you begin the next month ahead.

Finances are apt to be unreliable or not settled. Once Mars makes his move into your social sector mid-month, you can do what you do best. A project seems to move ahead with the new moon, bringing a period

70 | Scottsdale Airpark News May 2018

of recharging and introspection. Expect to encounter people whose knowledge or contacts can be insightful.

CANCER 6/21-7/22 A bit of compromise will be needed this month. Financial survival is always a major concern. A rapid increase in home sales, plus a rise in interest and the cost of loans and furnishings and other home products, requires some adjusting. Use your intuition when it comes to future trends in increased costs of living.

LEO 7/23-8/22 Last month marked the end of a 7-year period of uprisings and political plays internationally and nationally, but it feels more “real” in May. What’s going on in the world will have you making major moves in the months ahead. Your oneon-one social interactions with significant work-related contacts should be followed through with added social activities. Indulge yourself.

VIRGO 8/23-9/22 Mid-month is timely for launching a new business or going in a new direction. Expect to accomplish more work in little time.

Businesses related to communities, health, nutrition, hygiene and medical advancements are the focus of the economy. Keep a close eye on what is occurring related to employment, production, services, etc.

Expect to do well this month.

LIBRA 9/23-10/22 You are a born negotiator and should plan the month ahead on a more social theme.

May’s powerful new moon puts much

emphasis on self-empowerment. Focus more on developing your own skills. Find time to set aside for a personal project or new interests that you could apply to your work or business. Keep ahead of the pack.

SCORPIO 10/23-11/21 This month, you can accomplish more by doing a bit of letting go and releasing some control over a matter or partnership. Be prepared to be taken by surprise in regards to working with others; circumstances surrounding the month’s energies are out of your control. Rapid personal advancements slow down, but pick up momentum in July.

SAGITTARIUS 11/22-12/21 International crises or happenings will directly influence your work or profession.

New law and order to the universe is the theme for the years ahead. Your work landscapes are being reconstructed to accommodate new restrictions and corporate changes. These political and economic changes allow you to learn a new skill in addition to gaining a sense of freedom.

CAPRICORN 1/22-1/19 You are well in control this month of some awesome circumstances surrounding your outer and inner world. Creative thinking sparks your ambitions. You are learning a lot about yourself. Allow two years or so to establish a secure base of operation and accomplishment.

PISCES 2/19-3/20 Your mind should not be on automatic pilot this month. Dreaming will not make it so – doing will! The new moon highlights your communication skills and learning through your daily interactions with others. There’s a new confidence or maybe a curiosity that allows you to get out of your own way.

Trust your intuition and follow through on your goals.  For a personalized reading, contact weissastro@aol.com.

adio

Because I work exclusively for commercial tenants and buyers my clients get three things unavailable elsewhere: INFORMATION: I provide my clients with complete information

about every available space and property, including asking prices, and the details of similar transactions I have negotiated. Knowing what others paid and the concessions extracted is invaluable negotiating currency and serves to level the playing field.

INTELLIGENCE: Having over 2,700 commercial transactions

under my belt gives me the insight to know which property owners are likely to have the greatest urgency to make below market deals. I know the questions to ask (and which ones not to answer), and how to compose proposals that protect tenants and buyers.

INFLUENCE: I’m well known in the industry for creating an

environment where property owners are compelled to compete in order to attract and retain quality tenants. In lease and purchase transactions my clients consistently receive substantial discounts.

What’s the Cost? Zip. Zero. Nada. Nothing.

That’s because most real estate transactions include a commission which is split between the agents that represent each “side” of the transaction. Make certain that you receive full value from your side of the commission by selecting a broker with no inherent conflicts of interest, is experienced in solving your real estate problems, and who has a fiduciary duty to protect your interests above all others.
