Realtors association names 40 Under 40 Award winners The Scottdale Area Association of Realtors has named its fifth annual 40 Under 40 Award winners ahead of the May 9 ceremony at Hotel Valley Ho. “Earlier this year, SAAR’s Young Professionals Network formed a panel to solicit and review nominations from Realtor members under 40 years of age for special recognition,” CEO Rebecca Grossman says.

Applicants were evaluated based on exhibiting and improving professionalism, relevancy, productivity, community involvement and industry dedication. The panel reviewed dozens of applications and were duly impressed with the candidates.

“This year, we also introduced ‘40 Under 40’ team nominees,” says SAAR 2019 President David Schmid. “Our Realtor teams now have a chance to be awarded as a group and celebrate success in their communities and business.”

The winners in that category are: The Ackerman Team at North & Co., The

Adlers at Arizona Best Real Estate, The Kristin Graziano Group with HomeSmart, and The Lauren Rosin Team with West USA Realty.

Individual winners are Cole Annati, Michael Banovac, Andrew Beardsley, Aaron Benson, Nick Blue, Jaclyn Brand, Julie Calza, Reina Canute, Albert Ceren, Adam Coburn, Asher Cohen, Rosie Derryberry, Erin Ethridge, Jason Felker, Stephanie Greenfield, Joseph Iuculano, Stephanie Lanman, Matthew Long, Bryce Lugo, Stefanie Lugo, Kimberly MacDonald, Amanda Malcolm, Marisa Martin, Yvonne Matejka, Sarah McNurlin, George Mevawala, Jonathan Miller, Chris Morrison, Patrick Niederdrenk, Kristin Oas, Brock O’Neal, Kandis Palmer, Joshua Peters, David Pruitt, Lisa Pudewell, Lisa Ramos, Lindsay Rusk, Mimi Sadeghi, Jeffrey Serpa and Daniel Wolski.

Admission to the May 9 awards ceremony at Hotel Valley Ho is $65. For tickets, visit scottsdalerealtors.org.

McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park wins national title Valley residents helped push McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park to win the prize for best United States park through more than 3,500 online votes and approximately 2,400 Instagram posts.

Through it all, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park captured the 2019 ELGL Knope Award for the nation’s best park or open space.

The award is named for Deputy Parks Director Leslie Knope from the NBC sitcom “Parks and Recreation.” The award recognizes the best places in local government, which this year focused on the best publicly owned local park or open space.

The bracket-style contest started with a field of the top 32 parks in the U.S. owned and managed by local governments.

Filippone donates hair to Locks of Love Ann Filippone, the office assistant of the Scottsdale @ 101’s Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, donated her hair to Locks of Love in honor of her mother’s battle with kidney and skin cancer and in memory of her father.

“With all the medical costs, we did not have the money for a wig when my mom’s hair thinned, and we hadn’t even heard of Locks of Love at the time,” Filippone says.

“Last year, my hairstylist told me about his volunteer involvement with Locks of

Love, which caused me to look into the organization's work. After learning about all the good they do, I decided to let my hair grow. Recently, I walked into the salon to donate my hair to Locks of Love.”

When her father was diagnosed with cancer, she and her mom did everything to help make him comfortable as he deteriorated from an avid bowler to being confined to a wheelchair. Later, she helped her mom fight both stage four kidney cancer and skin cancer. Fortunately, her mother was able to

10 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

overcome both cancer battles.

“I am excited to do this again in the future because there is always someone out there experiencing similar trauma, and a wig or braid can mean a great deal both physically and emotionally,” Filippone says.

“I did this with the hope of making someone smile and because there are countless cancer patients waiting for a wig. I would encourage everyone to please consider making someone smile by donating their hair, too.”

DWL celebrates seven decades of design DWL Architects + Planners marked its 70-year anniversary with a late-March celebration to honor its clients, consultants and contractors who have contributed to their success.

The event was held at the DWL-designed Scottsdale Airport Business Center. From the upstairs patio overlooking the runway and views of McDowell Mountain, red and yellow Cirrus airplanes took party guests for sunset flights over the Valley.

“It was wonderful that so many of our clients and friends could attend the celebration,” says Steve Rao, DWL president.

“We’re resolutely committed to helping our clients achieve their goals. Their success is our success, and that’s why 90% of our work comes from repeat clients.”

The design firm has unveiled a modern

brand identity, with a nod to their midcentury roots, to commemorate its legacy.

Throughout its 70 years, DWL established a portfolio of well-known legacy projects, including ASU Hayden Library, Chase Bank @ 44th Street and Camelback Road, Mesa Arts Center and the terminals at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. More recently, they have completed work at Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport, Tucson Airport, ASU Greek Leadership Village and the first two phases of the $590 million Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Terminal 3 modernization.

Currently under design in the studio is the Scottsdale Stadium and Multi-Use Events Center, MIHS Ambulatory Care Centers and Valley Metro’s South Central Light Rail Extension, as well as a new terminal for Prescott Regional Airport.

Special Election Council trims bond request, calls for vote

(Photo by Pablo Robles)

By Wayne Schutsky

A

fter months of outreach and deliberation by the city, the future of a bond in Scottsdale is officially in the hands of voters.

At its April 15 meeting, the Scottsdale City Council called for a $319-million bond special election November 5 to seek funding for dozens of infrastructure, public safety, recreation and other projects throughout the city.

The council presented a unified front at the meeting, voting 7-0 to call the election.

That unity stood in stark contrast to last year ’s bond deliberations – which ultimately went nowhere due to disagreements among the council and uncertainty over public support.

Some disagreements lingered as recently as a March study session when the council appeared split on some key issues, such as what projects to include and whether to have one or several questions.

Ultimately, the council voted to break

On April 15, the Scottsdale City Council called for a three-question, $319-million bond election on November 5 that, if approved, would provide funding for 58 projects, including $23 million to repair the lakes and irrigation at Vista del Camino Park.

up the 58 projects and $319 million over three questions covering parks, recreation and senior services; community spaces and infrastructure; and public safety and technology.

Parks, recreation and senior services includes 14 projects for $112.6 million.

Community spaces and infrastructure includes 20 projects for $112.3 million.

Public safety and technology includes 24 projects for $94.1 million.

The $319-million bond ask presented by the city to voters was culled from an original list of 148 unfunded projects at a cost of $723.4 million.

A subcommittee then went through the list to prioritize projects and reduce costs, and also directed staff to conduct outreach with residents to explain the costs and justifications behind each project.

Those meetings were generally well received by residents, who could also leave feedback on the city website.

The results of those meetings were not

14 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

statistically viable but did provide the council a glimpse into residents’ priorities.

The council largely allowed those priorities to guide the bond process.

All projects included in the bond were seen as a priority by at least 50% of respondents at meetings and through the city website, with two exceptions.

One project that did not meet that threshold was a sports field project in the Airpark area that will double as special event parking for major events at WestWorld and TPC Scottsdale.

The council opted to keep that project included in the bond, though it reduced the cost by $7 million to $40 million.

Previously, concerns were raised that the project’s name, which emphasized the parking component, could mislead residents who were unaware it would primarily function as multi-use sports fields.

The council also added a $4.5-million expansion of Via Linda Senior Center that …continues on page 16

AIRPARK Buzz …continued from page 14 43% of respondents saw as a priority.

While the council presented a unified front on the bond, it was obviously still concerned about garnering enough community support to pass the measures with voters in November.

That uncertainty is reflected in the total ask of $319 million—which is well below the level at which a bond would begin to significantly affect residents’ secondary property tax burden.

City Treasurer Jeff Nichols presented a chart to the Subcommittee at an earlier meeting that showed the city could adopt a $450 million bond and not cause property tax levies to increase due to other bond obligations that will be coming off the book in the near future.

That chart, based on a resident with home valued at $300,000, showed an annual secondary property tax levy of just under $180 that would drop slightly and remain in the $160 to $180 range for the next 10 years before dropping below that threshold.

Trimming the bond to $319 million included some tough decisions.

One was dropping the $27.3 million Reata Wash Flood Control project, which could receive matching county funds contingent on the city funding a portion.

The project would fund the creation of a flood control channel to provide 100-year

on zoning issues,” she says.

Mayor Jim Lane expresses a similar sentiment.

Lane says he hopes “new issues” would not affect “whether or not a group is going to decide to somehow actively work against the greater good – frankly, I think everyone has pretty much acknowledged that there is a lot that is needed and is good for us here.”

Though no groups have come out in direct opposition to a bond, Milhaven and Lane may have been addressing comments made by resident and activist—and potential City Council candidate—Jason Alexander.

“I think we are all in agreement that we need Council and citizens behind this if it’s going to pass and the city desperately needs it,” Alexander says. “We all as a community need to be excited about investing in our city.”

However, Alexander cautions the council that he believes other council decisions unrelated to the bond—from zoning changes to the use of Preserve funds—could undermine voter confidence.

“People will not view this bond as a standalone topic…the reality is this bond proposal will be a reflection of confidence and support for the direction the Council is taking the city,” Alexander says. “And right up to Election Day, the campaign to pass the bond will also essentially be a campaign about support for All projects included in City Council decisions.” the bond were seen as a The special election will priority by at least 50% of residents at meetings and be mail-in only, meaning all through the city website, registered voters in Scottsdale with two exceptions—a will receive a ballot by mail apsports field project in the proximately 27 days before the Airpark and the Via Linda Senior Center expansion. election date even if they do not (Photo by Pablo Robles) receive a mail-in ballot during regular elections.

Scottsdale voters who have not signed up for the Permanent Early Voting list will still receive a bond special election ballot by mail but will not be added to the Permanent Early Voting list for future elections where in-person voting is an option.

City Clerk Carolyn Jagger said the decision to use the mail-in method was decided by the county, not the city.

Jagger says there will be at least one voting center where residents can go to receive a replacement ballot or assistance. 

flood protection in areas north of Loop 101 in northern Scottsdale extending to just south of the freeway.

But it was seen as divisive as some residents felt it only benefited those living within the flood plain.

Scottsdale Floodplain Administrator C. Ashley Couch would provide significant value to residents in the flood plain but would also provide citywide benefits by protecting critical infrastructure located in the area that serves residents throughout the city, including the Scottsdale Water Campus.

Even though the council took a conservative approach to the bond, several members still hedged their bets and cautioned residents to consider the good of the city over individual complaints when voting on the measure.

“Some of the comments that were made by folks tonight remind me of an old expression my grandmother used to use, which is 'don’t cut off your nose to spite your face,'” Vice Mayor Linda Milhaven says.

“While there may be people in this community who vigorously disagree with me on issues, someone mentioned zoning tonight, I think it does our community an amazing disservice if we make investment in parks, public safety and senior centers contingent upon whether or not we agree

Starbucks founder Howard Schultz visited the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce on April 15.

Talk Starbucks founder meets chamber for ‘dialogue’

By Wayne Schutsky

S

tarbucks founder and potential presidential candidate Howard Schultz made a stop in Scottsdale recently as part of a nationwide road trip as he considers whether or not to make a bid for the White House in 2020.

Schultz, a former Democrat who has stated he could now run as an independent, met with what was a relatively friendly crowd at the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce for what Chamber President/CEO Mark Stanton called “a dialogue” and a “town hall” discussion.

“For the past 10 or 11 weeks, I have basically been in a different city or different place almost every other day,” Schultz says. “And the reason for that is simply trying to, without a filter, really understand with empathy and compassion what people are feeling in their community.”

The talk had much in common with previous engagements the Starbucks mogul has held in recent weeks in which he decried bipartisanship and a lack of civil discourse while providing broad policy views with few specifics on how he would actually implement them.

Schultz said that “without this 11 weeks, I’d have no understanding about what really is going on in parts of the country that I have not really been to or been familiar with.”

Schultz touched on a number of topics during his one-hour stop and did not shy away from ideas that may not be embraced

by all business owners—including the need to provide more benefits for employees.

Citing the national debt and lack of access to affordable healthcare for many Americans, Schultz says business owners will to step in to provide what the government cannot for their employees.

“I’m not here to vilify businesses, but I think businesses can and should do more,” Schultz says.

Schultz also touched on the uncertain future entitlement programs, saying that the wealthy should carry more of a burden.

“One, I think the wealthy should be paying

more in taxes and getting less,” Schultz says.

He says government officials need to begin having an honest conversation with the American people about raising the age for Social Security.

He spent much of the time decrying the bipartisan divide in Congress and painting himself as a candidate who, as an independent, would be free from the influence of special interests and act as a centrist choice.

While he has said he would like to see President Trump defeated in the next election, Schultz says he thinks the Democratic …continues on page 18

AIRPARKBuzz …continued from page 17 party has gone to too far to the left and, during the chamber town hall, criticized Democrats as much as Republicans.

He criticized a plan like Medicare for all, calling it socialist and saying it would cost the country too much money. He says it has only garnered support from younger voters due to inadequate education.

“One thing that really concerns me is that we don’t teach civics in school very much and it just shocked me to see how young people have rallied around this thought about socialism,” Schultz says.

Much of the potential candidate’s optimism lies in his belief that there is a silent majority of Americans—including independents and voters from both major parties that he believes are turned off by radical shifts to the right and left—that desire a centrist candidate who will return civility to the White House.

He blamed bipartisanship for lack of movement on comprehensive immigration reform, saying that Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama presented tenable solutions that were sunk because Congressional leadership in the other party did not want to give those presidents “a win.”

Part of the Schultz’s platform is a promise to not sign any legislation that does not have bipartisan support, according to the Miami Herald.

Schultz reiterated that promise in Scottsdale.

Still, the former Starbucks CEO was short on details on how exactly he would prompt Congress to act on that bipartisan legislation beyond just refusing to play ball with bills crafted along party lines.

Schultz has been criticized that his candidacy would do little more than siphon off votes from the Democratic candidate and deliver a second term to Trump.

Schultz brushed off the criticism.

“I think it’s a false narrative within 18 months out to think that if I run for president, I’m going to siphon Democratic votes away when I believe there are lifelong Republicans looking for an alternative on this issue of character alone,” Schultz says.

Schultz says his team has identified 40 states, including Arizona, that could be in play if he runs in the next election.

ASU Professor Samara Klar told NPR that “The misconception around his campaign is

there’s this big proportion looking for a third candidate.”

Schultz, despite saying he was not there to denigrate the president, commented on President Trump’s lack of civility and blaming him for inciting bigotry and prejudice in the country.

He did not settle just for questioning Trump’s character, either. He also says he unequivocally disagrees with much of the president’s policies, including his failure to address climate change, efforts to remove environmental protections and threats to close down the southern border.

He also criticized other economic policies, such as the China tariffs, that Schultz said have hurt the very working-class people and farmers Trump had promised to help during the last election.

For Schultz, that record would be an asset if he ultimately runs against the sitting president in 2020. “(Trump) is going to have a record to run on, and I am cautiously optimistic in the goodness and kindness of the American people and that they’ll look at this thing and say he wasn’t honest—he’s not honest,” Schultz says. 

A 12-story tower, 7120 Optima Kierland, began sales in April 2016 and closed 220 homes over a ninemonth period, making it one of the fastest-selling communities in the Valley. The 10-story 7160 Optima Kierland is a rental community and

as of April, is 100% leased.

“Kierland is the hottest area of the Valley right now,” says Crel Vogel, sales manager at Optima Kierland.

The newest two towers, 7140 and 7180 Optima Kierland, broke ground in December 2018 and are slated for completion in 2020 with the first floor ready in about 16 months. The 7140 building will be a 12-story rental tower. The 7180 12-story tower is expected to have about 190 one-, two- and three-bedroom condos ranging from 776 square feet to 2,704 square feet. Custom combinations are also available enabling buyers to combine residences to create a larger custom home. Vogel expects approximately 30% of the new

tower to be custom residences.

Prices start at $371,000. Fiftytwo units are under contract and an additional 16 reservations have been made as of mid-April.

More amenities have been added and floor plans have been modified for the 7180 tower, Vogel says. “We sat down with our current homeowners to ask them what they would change if they had to do it all over again. So, we went a little bit bigger on the floor plans and added more to the amenities.”

Community amenities at 7180 Optima Kierland will include three levels of underground parking, a sky deck with a pool, yoga studio, barbecue grills, outdoor theater, bar and kitchen area, firepits, steam and sauna rooms, a spa and

At the first-floor club level, residents will be able to enjoy a theater, game room, outdoor lounge area, state-of-the-art fitness center, outdoor party area, a Zen garden, locker rooms, golf simulator, squash court and a basketball/ pickleball court.

Each tower will have its own HOA and amenities and dues cover gas, water, internet, basic satellite TV, trash/recycle, quarterly window washing, a 24-hour virtual concierge and all community amenities. The HOA also provides

watering and maintenance of Optima’s signature urban garden on each condo balcony.

Optima Kierland residents have the benefit of a walkable neighborhood with the adjacent Kierland Commons. Many retail shops, businesses and restaurants are within walking distance.

With fewer rentals available in the market, Vogel says having rental and for-sale units is the best of both worlds.

“We are still having a housing shortage in the Valley,” Vogel says.

“Typically, people rent for a year or two when they move to the area. We also have those coming from big cities across the nation and world who are used to that lock-and-leave condo lifestyle. We are able to capture both.”  Info: 480- 210-0225 or visit optimakierland-condos.com.

Flexing ITS

MUSCLE Nontraditional workspaces are heading for the Airpark

By Jimmy Magahern

Jim Keeley’s predictions for 2030 include an increase in employment throughout what is already one of the Valley’s largest job centers. Keeley is the founding partner of Collier’s Scottsdale office. (Photo courtesy Collier’s)

24 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

f you’re among the approximately 59,132 Arizonans employed at one of the 3,233 companies spread throughout the Scottsdale Airpark, the next time you get to work, take a look at the building you’re checking into.

If it’s getting a little aged (say, 30 years old or so), has a bit more space than needed for the current workforce and—pro tip here—if it happens to have low ceilings, chances are your workplace may be next in line for the wrecking ball.

That’s one of the more dramatic takeaways in this year ’s Greater Scottsdale Airpark 2030 Report, the annual market summary and development forecast put out by commercial real estate company Colliers International. According to the report, roughly 3,250 of the area’s 3,300 acres have already been developed, leaving companies still looking to land in the Airpark little choice but to tear down and refurbish obsolete buildings for their new development projects.

“You’re not going to see an abundance of new buildings going up,” says Jim Keeley, founding partner of Colliers’ Scottsdale office. “So that leads to the next thing we’re going to see: mixed-use developments where they’re going to

tear down some buildings and create new projects in their place.”

Keeley has been authoring the report since 1981, when his annual list of predictions was called the “2010 Report” and published by his own Classic Real Estate Corp., which Colliers acquired in 1998. He says he collects information on local growth trends during the year and supplements that with inside tips he hears through the grapevine.

“I collect articles and throw them in a file and then at the end of the year I kind of put the pieces together,” he says. “I also hear a lot of stuff on the street, just in my day-to-day brokers business.”

Generation Flex This year, the emerging trend around the Airpark is flexible workspaces, where employees are offered opportunities to work outside their company’s main location.

Long the lair of the self-employed portfolio builders and startup incubators, so-called “co-working” spaces, which allow anyone with a laptop to share desks and basic office equipment with other like-minded nomads, have lately been gaining popularity with traditional business owners, who are embracing the flexible workspace as a great way to reduce overhead while attracting top talent.

In a recent international survey of more than 15,000 business people conducted by leading workspace provider IWG, 80 percent of workers in the United States said they would choose a job that offered flexible working over a job that didn’t. The study noted that 62 percent of businesses worldwide already have a flexible workspace policy, with 85 percent of business owners directly attributing an increase in productivity to that greater flexibility.

“It’s a newer version of the office environment geared more toward the millennial mindset,” Keeley explains. “People today like to work on the road, often in smaller spaces, and they’re finding they can do more collaboration in that type of environment

than they can do in the traditional executive suites. So those type of spaces are coming on strong now.”

Keeley predicts that as the Airpark’s more antiquated office buildings are demolished and repurposed as mixed-use developments, more companies will opt to lease flexible workspace rather than entire buildings.

“For years, large corporations would always boast about securing a 10-year lease on a building and they would call that an asset, because they controlled the space,” he says. “But because of the new tax law that’s coming in, that 10-year lease is looking to become a liability instead of an asset.

So these companies would now prefer to control some co-working space on a short term lease because it’s less of a liability to them. It’s all the result of new accounting changes that businesses have been talking about for around 10 years that are finally being implemented.”

Flexible workspaces also appeal to workers in tech and other high-wage markets, sectors that the Airpark has seen a lot of growth in over recent years. But Keeley cautions that because these types of working environments have only arisen in the wake of the late 2007 to mid-2009 recession, their performance during an economic downturn is untested.

“If and when the economy slows way down and we lose jobs, that kind of workspace is probably going to be hurt sooner than some of the other spaces,” he says — particularly for highly-leveraged providers, if office rents start to decline.

Mixing it up Expect to see groundbreaking on at least one or two more large mixed-use developments in the Airpark before the end of 2019, Keeley predicts.

“We’ve already seen Nationwide Insurance Company purchasing 134 acres up around the 101 Loop and Hayden Road, with plans to build a 950,000 square-foot mixed-use development,” he says. “The

first phase of that, building a 460,000 square-foot regional headquarters along with restaurants and a hotel, will be one of the bigger projects under construction that we have seen in a lot of years. And we’re seeing some other big deals too.”

On the redevelopment side, Keeley points to YAM Circle, Bob Parsons’ new 17,800-square-foot shopping and dining complex located at the roundabout at Hayden Road and Northsight Boulevard, which opened in December on the grounds of the old Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale—now occupying larger digs just across the street. Other new developments include the new At Home megastore, being redeveloped at the site of the former Sam’s Club on the east side of the airport, and an adjacent 13.10-acre site being repurposed into a “mini" mixed-use development combining apartments with some self-storage units, retail shops and restaurants.

Keeley says the Airpark in general has become one giant mixed-use development, with apartments and condominiums springing up alongside retail, dining and office facilities. He doesn’t expect a scarcity of unused land to slow the area’s development.

“There’s not a lot of runway left to start building on,” he says, tossing in a little airport jargon to suit the unique area. “But the Airpark has seen a steady absorption of space over the last 10 years, and I expect that will continue.”

Keeley’s predictions for 2030 include an increase in employment throughout what is already one of the Valley’s largest job centers — from roughly 59,000 to 82,000 employees — along with a conversion of about 53 million square feet of office space into mixed-use developments that will bring more retail, multi-family housing, hotels, industrial and office space to the area.

“Even the tightening of interest rates shouldn’t impact the Airpark much,” Keeley assures. “The future looks good.” 

2030 REPORT Jim Keeley, SIOR, CCIM Founding Partner Scottsdale Office

LOCATION The “Greater Scottsdale Airpark” Boundaries: NORTH Loop 101 Pima Freeway SOUTH Thunderbird Rd. WEST 64th St. EAST 90th St. - between Raintree & the CAP Canal; 96th St. - between the CAP Canal & Bell Rd. ZONING Commercial Office; Light Industrial; Hotel; Commercial Retail; Aviation; Multifamily SIZE ±3,300 Acres ±43,887,549 SF of Buildings

The Greater Scottsdale Airpark still has some runway left in this post-recession cycle. The development community has shown quite a bit of restraint over the last 10 years by not overbuilding office, flex or light industry. Much of the investment dollars have gone into refurbishing, re-purposing and tearing down obsolete buildings and preparing for a future development project.

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

The Greater Scottsdale Airpark, like Metro Phoenix, has had a gradual recovery and has been able to attract a much broader economic diversity and thus our “runway” still has room to grow through 2020.

The Fed The Fed knows what it’s doing. Relax! The Fed is putting gentle taps on the brakes to diffuse price pressure and hold inflation in check. They can react quickly and ease policy if the economy stumbles.

Mixed-Use Developments (MXD) Why are mixed-use developments becoming one of the most popular product types in the United States?

Developers and investors alike are increasingly seeking out opportunities to integrate product types in order to achieve the ultimate goal of creating destinations that draw residents, tenants, visitors (car auctions, golf, horse shows, etc.) and patrons to Engage and Interact, Live, Shop, Work and Play.

While we have seen great results at Kierland and The Scottsdale Quarter, the Greater Scottsdale Airpark in general has been one large MXD with the addition of the large number of apartments and condominiums. In addition, Greater Scottsdale Airpark has the “Scottsdale Airport” and its brand new $27,000,000 Aviation Business Center. This unique asset makes the Greater Scottsdale Airpark MXDs among the best business districts in the entire Southwest United States.

Other “State of the Art” MXDs are being planned in the Greater Scottsdale Airpark as of this writing.

// Pictured Above: Flex Workspace Images Flexible Work Space* At Home Specialty Retailer: This Texas-based company purchased and is redeveloping the former Sam’s Club on the east side of the airport.

This trend is impacting Occupiers and Investors alike. The key take-aways are: •

Fast Growth – Flexible workspace continues to grow at a rapid pace, now accounting for one-third of office leasing in the last 18 months alone.

•

Focus on Enterprise – Flexible workspace providers are shifting their focus to target larger corporations and enterprise clients.

•

Talent Forward – Companies are turning to flexible workspace to provide the work environment to attract and retain the best young talent in the market.

•

Diversified Uses – Firms are leasing shared space for everything from surge space to touchdown space for traveling executives to incubators for new products and project teams, among others.

•

Rare Bright Spot – Flexible workspace is one of the few growing sources of office demand, although it still only makes up only a fraction of the office market, with 1.6% of all inventory in leading office markets.

•

Whole Foods and Sports Chalet: This ±13.10-acre site (adjacent to the new At Home store) is being repurposed into a mixed use of apartments, self-storage, retail and restaurants. We’ll call it a mini-MXD. Big Deals and Company Additions to the Scottsdale Airpark.

Nationwide Insurance Company purchased 134 acres at the Loop 101/Hayden Road to build a 950,000 SF MXD. The first phase will include the 460,000 SF regional headquarters, restaurants and a hotel.

Airobotics: This “hot” Israeli drone company opened its US headquarters on Raintree in the fourth quarter.

Changing the Model – Flexible workspace is impacting traditional leasing models and firms; occupational portfolios, together with the nature of how office space is designed and utilized. Traditional owners are responding with their own flexible space and lease options.

Ammo Incorporated: This Scottsdale-based company continues to expand nationwide within the sporting industry, and has turned its focus to an expansion into the defense munitions sector, with its acquisition last year of SW Kenetics, another Arizona-based R&D firm.

•

Tech and High Wage Markets – The concentration of co-working space is almost twice as great in tech markets as in other markets. Coworking also concentrates in high-wage markets and cities with a large concentration of professional services firms.

•

Recession Proof? – Since the vast majority of flexible workspace came online after the Great Recession (late 2007 to mid-2009), its performance during a downturn is untested, but it could provide a buffer to landlords as tenants seek short-term, flexible space.

What Will We See in 2019 in the Greater Scottsdale Airpark?

•

More property selling as current owners want to capitalize on this current cycle.

Testing the Economics – While the growth of major providers, in terms of leasing volume and locations, is undeniable, some providers are highly leveraged and could be susceptible to a market downturn, particularly if office rents start to decline.

•

Ground breaking on 1-2 more MXDs in the Greater Scottsdale Airpark.

•

Higher occupancy and higher rental rates.

HORROR Stories

As commercial market sizzles, landlords score big returns

By Andrea Davis

T

he commercial real estate industry is in one of the hottest markets we have seen in years with the state average GDP growth of 3.4% in 2018 and a 3.2% increase forecasted for the rest of 2019.

In Scottsdale, vacancy rates for industrial and office spaces are dropping as employment gains drive up the demand.

Healthy vacancies in office for landlord and tenant hover around 12% to 14% which, according to Costar, is where Scottsdale is.

Additional analytics from Costar forecasts all office submarkets in Scottsdale are positioned to dip below the 12% vacancy rate. This means demand for office will be high and tenants can anticipate rental increases because there isn’t a lot of office product to choose from.

Yet amid the huge growth, industry experts issue pleas of caution. As companies eye their balance sheets for room for more overhead costs — or to shed some overhead — it’s more important than ever for businesses to be cautious and work with experts who know how to help—especially in this low vacancy market, where many landlords have the upper hand. With increases in out-of-state office investment purchases, comes landlord savvy negotiations and possible nightmare scenarios. Unfortunately, many companies deal with a variety of horror stories when trying to buy or lease commercial real estate.

One company, Paradise Village Chiropractic Center, Health and Weight Loss Program, renewed his lease on his own. But, as soon as he signed, he was paying twice the going rate for office space in nearby complexes.

“The nightmare began when the landlord was selling the building and I only had a few weeks to make a decision whether to stay or go. I felt pressured to make a decision, so I signed the lease. What ended up happening was I paid $3,200 a month, when I should have paid $1,600. I got wise this time around and hired an expert to renew my lease. Renegotiating leases is just not what I do as a doctor. After the lease was renegotiated, I ended up saving over $22,000, and my business is thriving,” says Dr. Scott Carmachel at Paradise Village Chiropractic Center, Health and Weight

32 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

Loss Program.

Carmachel is unfortunately not alone when it comes to every day shrewd landlords. The following are tips to consider when it comes to renegotiating a lease:  Find out what the landlord’s objective is with the building.  Your lease determines your future relationship with your landlord. Make sure you understand it and it is written so that you can live with it.  Make a note on your calendar six months in advance of the lease expiration date so there is time to negotiate the current lease and discover what the market has to offer for other options.  Start the lease renewal process as early as possible to allow for research and delays. Most medical businesses, dentists, chiropractors, naturopaths, etc. lose 10 to 20% of their business, if they relocate farther than a mile from their established location.  A web search for commercial space will reveal asking lease rates. This provides the tenant with the going lease rate for their product type such as office, retail or industrial in their area of town.  Everything is negotiable.

Paradise Village Chiropractic Center, Health and Weight Loss Program is not the only one who has experienced a nightmare situation.

Unfortunately, many new business owners can have trouble dealing with a new lease negotiation.

After Maid Right owners, Angela and Ken Clayton, signed a five-year lease, the

company didn’t know the building was about to be sold.

Angela says, “The new landlord was desperate for tenants.

He let almost anyone lease the property. The space next to me had someone sleeping in the building overnight. The restrooms weren’t cleaned, the repairs didn’t happen and the neighbors made us so nervous that we didn’t want to leave after dark.”

Today is a totally different experience for Maid Right. They worked with a professional commercial real estate agent who identified several properties and was able to find a new space for the business.

The new landlord was desperate for tenants. He let almost anyone lease the property. The space next to me had someone sleeping in the building overnight. The restrooms weren’t cleaned, the repairs didn’t happen and the neighbors made us so nervous that we didn’t want to leave after dark.

Many negotiation mistakes or nightmares can happen along the way. Most businesses make these four classic mistakes:  Not hiring a tenant representative  Not understanding their lease obligations  Not getting a verbal agreement put into writing  Not hiring a commercial real estate attorney With the strong Scottsdale commercial real estate market, those leasing need to be extra vigilant when working with landlords and negotiating transactions. Working with a broker can help obtain the best rate and terms possible. The best part is that the landlords pay the fee. It really is no cost to the business owner and provides a peace of mind.  Andrea Davis Commercial Real Estate, recently voted one of best businesses in Arizona by Ranking Arizona, focuses on one asset class: commercial real estate. Davis is uniquely diverse in all aspects of commercial real estate working with landlords, tenants, sellers and buyers with office, industrial and/or retail requirements. She is an expert in site selection, property comparison analysis, negotiations and resourceful transactional follow-through from both viewpoints.

Flying High Again Local couple’s chopper services flying high

By Kristine Cannon

S

itting in the passenger’s side of her father’s Robinson R44 helicopter, parked on a helipad in the Scottsdale Airpark, 10-year-old Avery Clifton has her hair in a ponytail, hidden under a bulky, black headset.

She’s wearing a blue, floral dress,

and she’s proudly showing off a brown, rectangular book with gold lettering: “The Pilot’s Flight Lot and Record.”

Avery wants to be just like her dad, Scott Clifton, who has more than 23 years' experience flying helicopters for local news stations and as a search-and-rescue pilot for the state of Arizona.

“She’s already logging hours, and he’s teaching her to fly because she wants to be a pilot,” says Avery’s mom, Vanessa.

Vanessa and Scott are the owners of two family-owned businesses: Cave Creek-based Aerial Solutions and the newly launched, Scottsdale-based Western Sky Helicopters – both of which involve helicopters but serve different purposes.

Aerial Solutions, founded in 2008, is considered the authority for helicopter program management, event management and hot air balloon advertising.

Aerial Solutions not only manages the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, but also launches all hot air balloon events in town.

Western Sky Helicopters is brand-new — it opened in January — and conducts

34 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

helicopter tours throughout and just beyond the Valley, as well as fills the void for charter work in Phoenix.

“There’s starting to be that demand for it,” says Vanessa, vice president and COO of Western Sky Helicopters.

With Western Sky’s charters, which recently launched this month, guests can ride in one of their Robinson R44, Raven II helicopters, which come equipped with air conditioning, leather seats and bubble windows.

Western Sky’s 14 CFR Part 135 certification allows guests the option to get picked up or dropped off wherever they’d like – as long as there’s a helipad available.

“We saw that there was the void in the market,” Vanessa says. “We would get calls from people all the time just because they know we’re involved in the helicopter industry that were like, ‘We need to charter out to NASCAR. We need a charter flight out to a golf course.’”

“There’s going to be a lot of charter work,” Vanessa continued.

What makes Western Sky’s charter services appealing, according to Vanessa,

is its price. Because Western Sky flies a smaller aircraft, it has smaller operating costs, meaning the client spends less, comparatively.

We s t e r n S k y ’ s b re a d a n d b u t t e r, though, are its helicopter tours.

“People who travel here, they’re always looking for activities and things to do,” she says. “Just in a span of a week, we’ve got four tours lined up and we haven’t even started our big marketing push yet. So people are already starting to find us.”

Western Sky offers four regular, yearround tours, including a “Valley and downtown Phoenix" tour, a “city lights” tour, a “mountains and lakes” tour and a sunset tour.

T h e y a l s o o ff e r seasonal tours, such as a holiday lights tour and a Fourth of July tour.

Vanessa says the tour that offers the most bang-for-your-buck is the hour-long, $375-per-adult sunset tour.

“It’s going to give you kind of all of the tours wrapped into one,” she says.

With the sunset tour, flyers will also get the Valley tour, as well as see mountains and lakes. And on the way back, they’ll catch a glimpse of the city lights.

All tours use the Robinson R44 helicopter, which holds a pilot plus three passengers – and, yes, it has air conditioning.

More out-of-the-ordinary, special requests include utilizing Western Sky’s helicopters for real estate-related aerial photography and ranch management.

“There’s a huge market for real estate sales people who want to get a good, overall picture of these areas that they’re looking at purchasing a home,” Vanessa says.

Regarding ranch management, Western Sky can assist ranchers in getting a headcount of their cattle.

“Some of these ranches in the outlying areas are huge, so if they need to transport

feed out to a remote area, if they’ve got a fence line that’s down, we can do that,” she says.

Vanessa says she has also received requests from men who want to propose in a unique way.

“They want to be flown to a really unique, beautiful spot, land, get out, make their proposal, fly back,” she says. “Those are the kinds of special requests that we’re getting now.”

In the future, Western Sky is interested in partnering with local chefs and resorts to create romantic packages where a chef and clients are flown out for a special meal in a remote location.

“We’re working with golf clubs, and just really start promoting the charter, letting everybody know that we’re out there,” she says.

Helicopter tour pricing is based on time: 20-minute tours are $175 per adult and $125 per child, while 40-minute tours are $275 for adults and $225 for children.

“We just want it to be really straightforward with our pricing,” Vanessa says. “We know what it costs to operate the aircraft for per hour. I don’t care where you want to fly.”

Surprisingly, Vanessa says the 20minute tours are not as popular as they thought they’d be, so they’re considering changing the blocks of time from 20 or 40 to 30 or 60 minutes.

“I thought that’s what was going to be the most popular because it’s the least expensive, but everybody says it just

doesn’t seem like long enough,” she says.

What’s important to Vanessa is pricing the tours at a price-point she would pay herself.

“I’m not going to price it to where I wouldn’t personally take my family,” she says.

But what’s most important to the Western Sky team is trust and safety; they’re what Vanessa says sets them apart from the competition.

“It’s extremely important to us as a company and part of our company ethics is we’re not going to put you in an aircraft with anybody that we wouldn’t put our own family and children in an aircraft with,” she says.

All three FAA-certified pilots currently employed by Western Sky, including Scott, Don Hooper and Ryan Shugrue, have over 60 combined years of experience.

“These guys have thousands and thousands of hours of experience between them, and that’s just something that we wanted to focus on doing a little bit differently,” Vanessa says.

This level of care – and the community’s familiarity with Scott – is why Vanessa believes they’ve had such a positive response to Western Sky, so far.

“It has to do with my husband’s reputation within the industry,” she says. “He’s very respected with what he’s done and where his career has gone.”  Info: westernskyhelicopters.com

Porter Kyle settles into new digs at Scottsdale Airpark

By Sherry Jackson

sleek new office in the Scottsdale Airpark mirrors Porter Kyle’s contemporary designs. The multifamily development company builds and leases boutique townhome communities, filling a niche in the Valley’s hot rental market.

Its new Scottsdale location provides the small company not only room to grow Porter Kyle's seven-person team but a more central location for easy access to its ongoing projects.

“The space fit our needs,” says Taylor Shultz, one of the owners of Porter Kyle. “The Airpark has a great central location.”

was founded in 2013. Their backgrounds include economics and business degrees from The University of Arizona, and the possession of series 6 and 63 securities licenses. Prior to forming Porter Kyle, the trio worked for one of the world’s largest investment management companies, sold investment real estate for the nation’s largest privately owned investment real estate company and worked in the commercial banking space with a major U.S. bank.

They initially built singlefamily homes. Three years ago, they transitioned to multifamily.

The name of the company, Porter Kyle, comes from two of the partners middle names.

The townhome niche makes Porter Kyle somewhat unique in the industry. The company does a lot of work inhouse, instead of using subcontractors. It also self-manages its properties and works closely with investors.

“We’re vertically integrated,

36 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

which means we’re both the builder and the developer,” Shultz says. “We’ve got our own project managers, project superintendents and do a lot of things in house.

Even though we’re a smaller, newer company, the team we’ve created is pretty sophisticated and has a lot of experience.”

Porter Kyle’s first project was The Alan, a 17-unit townhome community on McKellips Road, between Gilbert and Lindsay roads, in Northeast Mesa. The Alan was completed in 2018 and was 100% leased when it was sold in March.

“Our communities really appeal to everyone,” Shultz says. “It’s the feeling of a singlefamily home but in a rental community.”

The company has three projects underway.

They include phases one and two of The Monarch, a 39-unit development in Cave Creek. The townhome community is set on a hillside along Cave Creek Road with views of the McDowell Mountains and will offer two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 1,250 to 1,500 square feet with anticipated rental rates ranging from $1,600 to $1,900 a

month. Each unit is a modern, contemporary design and offers stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, open floor plans, direct-access garages, 10-foot ceilings and private courtyards.

Community amenities will include a pool, gazebo and park.

Leasing on phase one will begin in late summer/early fall.

The third project is still in the planning and zoning stage.

It’s a 44-unit townhome complex in Gilbert, near Gilbert Town Square. One-, two- and three-bedroom townhomes will be available, and the community will feature a pool, dog park and playground area. They hope to break ground late this year, Shultz says.

The company’s long-term goals are to develop larger and larger townhome projects.

“We have a desire and want to get to the next level,” Shultz says. “But we also want to make sure we’re growing responsibly and are delivering a great product and a good value.” 

The Alan community boasts large integrated family and kitchen living spaces—a modern take on the multifamily home.

A Slice of Grimaldi’s Airpark-based pizza chain starts franchise program

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

A

irpark-based Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is giving business groups the chance to have a slice of its restaurants with its new national franchise program.

“Our goal for Grimaldi’s is to have one in every neighborhood,” says Grimaldi’s Pizzeria CEO Joseph Ciolli.

The program is available in U.S. markets including Arizona.

Opening a restaurant takes time; something he says he doesn’t have. So he’s relying on “qualified operators” to make his mission viable. To apply, visit grimaldispizzeria.com/franchising/domestic/.

Besides the challenges of financing and finding a location, there are state regulations to consider.

“We used to follow federal guidelines, but every state is like a different country,” says Ciolli, who is opening a location in Dubai in mid-September.

“It was different back in the day. We have minimum wage changes. It’s better served if we have a someone in the market who understands this.”

As part of ensuring a successful domestic franchise launch, Grimaldi’s engaged franchising advisory firm MSA Worldwide to help optimize the program so franchisees can take advantage of Grimaldi’s suite of tools, resources and staff for ongoing support.

Ciolli says he’s had a good response so far and he’s specific about his franchisees’ qualifications.

“Our main focus has been on bigger groups,” he says. “We’re not looking for the individual mom-and-pop groups. There are 30-plus states we’re not in.”

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria operates 43 company-owned restaurants in 12 states from coast to coast with six in the Metro Phoenix area and one in Flagstaff.

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria produces hand-

FLY-IN Vacation

Take on

‘TAHOE SOUTH’ The town’s southern shore is tremendous in the spring and summer

By Alison Bailin Batz

ake Tahoe may be known as a worldrenowned ski destination, but as the snow begins to melt it transforms into a new adventure. It’s picture-perfect for a long weekend or full-on vacation during the spring or summer months.

The southern shore of Lake Tahoe— nicknamed Tahoe South and located in Nevada, versus the north shore, which is in California—truly has it all. So much, in fact, there is truly no way to see and do it all.

As such, here is a guide to getting the most out of your trip to Tahoe South.

Edgewood Tahoe This stunning resort set directly on the shoreline (and with the area’s only private beach) was just announced as the 2019 Hotel of the Year in the United States and Canada by Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest independent hotel brand.

It's not hard to see why. The LEED-designed mountain lodge opened in 2017 and has

along with numerous nightlife options to dance and let loose. Hard Rock is among the newest casino offerings in the area and boasts a 25,000-square-foot casino and the William Hill Sportsbook, which has 40 televisions as well as a video wall. There is also a terrific bar called Alpine Union on-site with fire pits and live music. Harrah’s Lake Tahoe and Harvey’s are also nearby.

Dining is impressive with three delicious options: The Bistro, Edgewood Restaurant and Brooks’ Bar & Deck. The Bistro, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, was named one of the “10 places you must eat and drink

in South Lake Tahoe” by the Reno GazetteJournal. Edgewood, among the top dining destinations in the western United States, offers floor-to-ceiling views of Lake Tahoe, is a meal not to be missed. And Brooks’ has one of the best decks to enjoy happy at in the region.

Craft beer is an art form in Tahoe—and easy to enjoy thanks to the Beer Trail. Yes, the lake Tahoe Chamber offers a handy-dandy map of how to best navigate through the exploding craft beer scene in the area via its Beer Trail. Right now, the trail boasts nine breweries of note in the area: South Lake Brewing Company, Sidellis Lake Tahoe, Cold Water Brewery & Grill, Stateline Brewery, The Hangar, Outpost Brewing Co., The Brewery at Lake Tahoe and two Lake Tahoe AlewoX locations. Many offer small bites and/or full restaurant menus, not to mention games and views.

Visiting in June is the best time to try them all. On June 1, Heavenly Cal Lodge will host Tahoe Brewfest. During the festive event, guests can enjoy 5-ounce samples of beer from in and around Lake Tahoe as well as other areas of Northern California and Nevada, and all proceeds benefit local charities.

Tahoe Tastings wine cruise Fear not, wine lovers! You’re covered in Tahoe South as well, thanks to the Tahoe Tastings, which offers daily wine tastings on Golden Rose, a vintage, one-of-a-kind 1953 Chris Craft Venetian Water Taxi. There are several tours, including a mid-day two-hour option that allows for the tasting of eight wines from nearby Northern California and an evening option timed out to enjoy the wine during sunset. Just some of the award-winning wines from the nearby California vineyards guests can expect to taste include Domaine Carneros, Lange Twins Family Winery, Navarro Vineyards, Rancho Victoria Vineyard, Renegade Winery, School Street and Via Romano Vineyard. There are also a private tour options if reserved in advance.

Foodie finds Beyond the food and drink at Edgewood and along the Beer Trail, Tahoe South is home to eclectic, electric eateries all worth a visit. Try breakfast or brunch (and a mimosa) at Revive Coffee & Wine, a purveyor of quality coffee, pastries, small plate dining, craft beers and fine local wines. They have monthly specialty lattes and mimosas, and South Tahoe Standup Paddle occupies the space next door so guests can have a bite then paddle away the day. For lunch, don’t miss Tahoe Pourhouse, which beyond the food and drink is a selfie lover’s dream.

Opened in 2018 by chefs who also happen to be ice sculptors, the restaurant’s focal points are a 20-tap wine wall and funky patio, which it shares with AleworX. For a clever take on happy hour, head over to Black Bear Lodge as its front desk doubles as a full-on bar and is open to lodge guests as well as walk-ins. The menu features craft beers, California wines and small plate appetizers, with a rotating list of featured wineries.

The architecture is highlighted by a live edge wood bar and vintage-style lighting. Then for dinner, Azul Latin Kitchen will tickle the taste buds. Their fresh take on Mexican, South and Central American cuisine and use of seasonal, sustainable, organic ingredients is inspired.  For more, visit tahoesouth.com.

MAKING aDifference

AVIATION

Celebration Thunderbird memorial staff encourages students to fly 46 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

F

ormer Coast Guard rescue pilot Steve Ziomek finds comfort when he looks to the sky and hears the roaring sounds of airplanes passing by.

He recalls flying a World War II-era, blue and yellow Boeing-Stearman PT-17.

“The open cockpit feels like riding a motorcycle at 500 feet above the ground,” Ziomek explains. “I had more fun flying that (Stearman) for a year and half than I ever did flying for the Coast Guard.”

Thanks to his efforts, the plane is the centerpiece of the Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial, which serves as the gateway to the Scottsdale Airport business center and restaurant. Ziomek, who acquired the plane to raise funds for the memorial, hopes children who visit the memorial feel the same way about aviation.

Studies show the United States will see a pilot shortage upward of 40,000 over the next 10 years, he says. Because of this, the Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial staff is dedicated to raising funds for scholarships, particularly at ASU and Embry-Riddle University.

The staff has yet to award scholarships, but the organization would pay $2,000 directly to the student’s choice of school.

“Just seeing the reaction of the children makes it worthwhile,” Ziomek says about the memorial. “It’s all about the kids.”

“The majority of pilots who I know were inspired by aviation because our parents took us to an airport when we

were young,” Ziomek says. “We hope the public does the same thing.”

At the exhibit, which is free to visit, the 1941 BoeingStearman PT-17 aircraft is suspended from the ceiling. Two interactive 49-inch kiosks inform visitors about the plane’s history. Next to the kiosks is a plaque with contributors’ names, a nearby plaque reads, “In honor of all who trained here and those who served our country.”

An experience that immediately pops into Ziomek's head was when he flew a 93-year-old World War II veteran to raise awareness for the Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial.

Thunderbird Field II references the airport’s former name.

It opened in 1942 to train World War II Army Air Corps pilots.

More than 5,500 pilots were schooled there, making it one of the largest training facilities in the world, he says. It was one of three Thunderbird Fields in the Valley. The school was deactivated on October 16, 1944, and is now the Scottsdale Airport.

Capt. Jerry Yellin, who flew the last combat mission of World War II, trained at Thunderbird Field II in 1942. In 2017, Yellin rode in the Stearman one last time, six weeks before he died.

It was the first airplane model he ever piloted, Ziomek says.

Ziomek also flew Dave Woellner, a 97-year-old veteran in the Stearman, to raise awareness for the memorial.

“He spent the last days of the World War II in a German concentration camp because the B-17 (aircraft) he was piloting got shot down. Half of his crew didn’t make it,” Ziomek says.

“His wife Jean told me when they came out to the airport that, for 40 years, all the general wanted to do was get back in the Stearman. It was humbling.”

But as important as the history of the airport is, its future is what Ziomek is focused on as he strives to inspire and provide resources to the next generation of pilots.

“Having a museum to remind people of who we were then and what we are now is extremely important,” Yellin says in a video on Thunderbird Field II Memorial’s website.  For more information, visit tbird2.org

riving along the GreenwayHayden Loop in Scottsdale’s Designer Row, it’s hard to miss Avery Lane. The boutique’s entrance features a charming sign emblazoned with a playful, sunshine-yellow font and a fanciful birdcage logo above a curved, black-and-white striped awning.

“He went through and did a major renovation,” Richert says. “I got all the furniture and artworks.” Now the painting is a museum-quality part of Avery Lane’s inventory and is available for its next tastefully appointed Arizona wall.

In another section of the expansive showroom, Richert points out a sleek, impressionistic figurine of a female dancer cast by Tom Bennett, an acclaimed modern sculptor. It was formerly owned by a local plastic surgeon who relocated back east.

“We have three (Bennett) sculptures from the client that just are not going to fit into his New Jersey place,” she says. Now the pieces can be displayed in a new Scottsdale home gallery — at a discount price to what the doctor originally paid, no less. “Generally, we try and have things at 50% of retail.”

Beyond decorative art, Avery Lane is filled with fine furniture, some of it arriving from the sports world. “We do work with a fair number of professional athletes,” Richert says standing next to a large, deluxe poker table. It recently came from an NHL player’s former collection and is ready for the next Texas hold ‘em aficionado.

“He had the world’s best man cave,” Richert exclaims.

Richert entered into the consignment world after a 25-year career in the golf industry, and the enterprise — which gets its appellation from her two children — is flourishing and has high customer recognition in Scottsdale.

“We have such a great name now,” she says with appreciation. “With word of mouth, people know about Avery Lane, certainly in the private golf communities and some of the more prestigious areas in town.”

Since Avery Lane opened its doors, Richert has made sure that it’s been a positive and proactive part of the community.

“Philanthropy is a passion of mine,” she says. The boutique serves as an exquisitely adorned fundraising event venue for Send Me on Vacation, a nonprofit organization that provides financial support to disadvantaged breast cancer survivors, including a successful recent high tea.

“We raised enough money that we sent 10 women on vacation. We’re really proud of that,” Richert says.

Avery Lane also sponsors the Scottsdale Philharmonic and Rosie’s House, a Phoenix academy that provides music lessons to at-risk children. Richert adds she recently worked with a Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale board member — who’s a frequent and familiar customer of hers — to be a clearinghouse for a valuable donation of estate furnishings.

“All of the furniture came in here, and in the first month, we wrote a check for $35,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs,” she says, adding that many of her fellow businesses along Designer Row are also community-minded and lend support to worthy Scottsdale and regional causes.  15613 N.

BATTER UP!

Brett Dennen has a ‘love/hate’ relationship with baseball

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

S

inger-songwriter Brett Dennen enjoys talking about music but get him chatting baseball and it’s on.

Dennen loves his Oakland A’s and America’s pastime. Well, actually, it’s a “love/ hate thing.”

“The A’s are usually good, but not good enough, for whatever reason. When they’re really good, you have to watch.”

“I get really involved and wrapped up in it,” says Dennen, whose music has been compared to Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson. “I think to myself, I’m a grown man. I’m always checking stats and standings. The season is like one of those slow-build albums. You don’t

know why, but you like it. The more you listen to it, the better it gets. Then you start making all these comparisons to life.”

Dennen is hoping to take in a D-backs game when he comes to the Musical Instrument Museum to play two shows, Thursday, May 16, and Friday, May 17.

“I always try to make every show completely different,” Dennen says of his concerts.

“The set depends on the crowd and the mood I’m in. As far as music goes, there’s a nice mix of songs I think people want to hear.

“I often take requests. I try to play new songs I’m working on; songs I’m not sure if I even like or not. I try to play old songs that

50 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

people don’t listen to as much. Sometimes I go on tangents or play songs I wish people liked more than they do. Sometimes I think I’m a stand-up comedian. I try to honor whatever mood I’m in.”

A performer, watercolor artist and environmental conservationist, Dennen is promoting the EP “Here’s Looking at You Kid,” which was released in August 2018. It’s the second half of a two-part EP collaboration with Semisonic’s Dan Wilson, who cowrote songs for Adele and the Dixie Chicks.

The first EP, “Let’s…,” was released in February 2018 and included “Already Gone,” an adult album alternative hit.

“Dan is the best,” he says. “I threw myself at him and said, ‘I want to do a project with you, where you’re more than a collaborator.

Take me under your wing and help me make something beautiful.’”

On his website, Wilson had just as complimentary things to say about Dennen.

“I’m really proud of this project, and I’ve loved getting to know Brett so well creatively and personally,” he wrote. “We wrote several of the songs on the record with my good friend and frequent collaborator Jenny Owen Youngs. Benjie Lysaght, Aaron Sterling, Wendy Wang, Brett and I were the band for the sessions. What a great team, and I’m excited for you all to hear the fruits of our labor.”

Dennen says the process behind the pair of EPs was foreign to him, as it was much more collaborative and spontaneous than his previous releases.

“We just hung out in his living room and he fiddled around on his guitar,” Dennen says about Wilson. “Sometimes other collaborators were in the room. We’d talk and goof around, but then a song would come together really fast and we’d dive into it.

“It’s a good soundtrack of two people exploring a friendship.”

Dennen isn’t touring much these days, as he’s a full-time father who spends his free time writing songs for a forthcoming album.

“If you’re a fan of Dan Wilson, imagine where I would be after spending 1 1/2 years working with him and how that would change me,” Dennen says. “That’s what you’re going to hear from my new songs.” 

REMEMBER When

Scottsdale Historically Supports Small Business & Entrepreneurs

By Joan Fudala

F

or over 50 years, the U.S. Small Business Administration has celebrated Small Business Week in May (this year, May 5 to May 11).

Scottsdale, however, has celebrated and supported its small businesses continuously since the 1890s. As we take a moment to salute new and long-time entrepreneurs, Scottsdale is also bidding a fond farewell to one of its most treasured small businesses, Saba’s Department Stores.

From SkySong, to downtown Scottsdale, the Scottsdale Airpark and the Pinnacle Peak and East Shea areas, Scottsdale thrives as a result of thousands of business owners and their entrepreneurial spirit.

Consider these historic small business highlights: Although J.L. Davis was the first to open a free-standing small business here—the General Store on the southwest corner of what is now Brown Avenue and Main Street in 1897—the town’s founder/namesake Win-

Mahoney’s was one of several general stores in the “H-shaped” business district of 1920s Scottsdale. (Scottsdale Historical Society photo)

field Scott could be considered Scottsdale’s first entrepreneur. The Baptist minister and retired U.S. Army chaplain “re-careered” as a farmer, co-founded the area’s citrus industry (W.J. Murphy was the other citrus entrepreneur) and marketed the new town of Scottsdale as an ideal agricultural center. He ran ads in The Arizona Republican newspaper in the 1890s offering orange trees for sale, and penned articles for Arizona — the State Magazine highlighting the variety of food crops he had grown and sold on his property.

Sarah Coldwell Thomas became the first female business owner in Scottsdale when she took over the General Store from her boss Davis, circa 1902. She set a pattern for countless women-owned and -operated businesses throughout Scottsdale—including pioneer businesses such as Graves Guest Ranch, the water company, Lottie Sidell’s cottages, Mildred Barthalow’s

Adobe House guest ranch, the Kiami Lodge (Muriel Oxenhandler) and many more.

From the 1890s through World War II, Scottsdale’s primary small businesses were farms, ranches or agricultural-related

customers. Among those family-run small businesses were Cavalliere’s Blacksmith Shop, Brown’s General Store, the McComb Brothers general merchandise store, Kubelsky’s Boston Store, Mahoney’s store, Johnny Rose’s Pool Hall (and barber), Chew’s grocery, Harris & Tamm store, Hamer ’s Café, Byers’ grocery, Kimsey’s Scottsdale Service Station, Lawson’s Drug Store and Hawkins Fountain Lunch.

What are often referred to today as “lone-eagle” businesses (one-person, often offering professional or skilled services) also

enterprises. In addition to the owner's family, they often employed laborers, a zanjero (irrigation water manager), and seasonal ranch hands (cowboys) for cattle and sheep drives. These are likely the folks who provided inspiration for entrepreneur Malcolm White to create the post-war slogan, “The West’s Most Western Town.”

During Scottsdale’s first six decades of settlement, most small businesses located in the “Historic H,” an “H-shaped” area with Marshall Way to the west, Brown Avenue to the East and connected by Main Street. Only Main Street was paved until after World War II. Scottsdale’s earliest entrepreneurs lived here, worked here, sent their children to Scottsdale schools, and helped built the farming and ranching community that Scottsdale became during its first six decades and through World War II. They branded their small businesses with their family name, thus making a connection with their neighbors and

thrived in Scottsdale’s early years. Phoenix business directories between 1909 and 1920 list E.O. Brown and Francis Frazier as real estate agents, T.H. Caldwell as a carpenter, John McDuffee and James

Stout and Edward Hochstetler as operators of stages (buses) to Phoenix, Mrs. W.P. (Helen) Smith as a music teacher, Mrs. Hans Weaver as a bakery operator, Marjorie as an artist, Hans Weaver as a sanitorium operator, Mrs. Mary Donaldson as a laundress.

In the 1920s, entrepreneurs E.O. Brown, Charles Miller and William Kimsey teamed to start several businesses: the Farmers State Bank on Main Street, Scottsdale, the Scottsdale Ginning Company (cotton gin on Second Street) and Scottsdale Light and Power Company. Herron & Walker opened a combination billiards hall and barber shop on Main Street. Mahoney & Young opened a general merchandise store on Brown Avenue.

New products (like cars) and technology (such as evaporative coolers) brought new small business opportunities to Scottsdale in the 1920s and 1930s.

Thomas Caldwell advertised himself as an automobile painter, Mort Kimsey operated Scottsdale Service Company (garage and gas station) and Walter Smith opened an auto dealership. The Hawkins opened the Palace of Sweets, serving ice cream now possible with electricity and refrigeration.

As the population grew, professional service businesses expanded. Directories of the 1920s listed Dr. Edwards as a dentist in Scottsdale, M. Manuel as a barber, B.L.

REMEMBER When

5 Tips to Get the Most Cool From Your Car Air Conditioning It’s summer and it’s hot, which means your car’s air-conditioning system is going to get a workout.

But there’s an art to cooling your car correctly. We at Rayco have some handy tips to help you cool your car faster while burning less fuel.

1. Don’t Pre-Cool

This 1937 aerial looking west over Main Street shows the mix of small businesses and residences. (Scottsdale Historical Society photo)

…continued from page 53 real estate agents.

Before the advent of year-round tourism amenities (post 1950s), Scottsdale’s population had a few small businesses that provided leisure activities. During the 1930s there were three pool halls in the small downtown area, operated by Tomas Corral, Frank Love and Guy Roberts. Merchants were the backbone of the Scottsdale Blues men’s baseball team.

Early entrepreneurs set a precedent for serving their community as well as their customers. During World War I, business owners such as Charles Miller, E.O. Brown and William Kimsey and their wives led Liberty Bond Drives. During the Great Depression, grocers often extended credit to their customers who were struggling to make ends meet. Grocer Earl Shipp promoted giving blood during the Korean War. Many gave teens their first job experience.

After World War II, many would-be entrepreneurs saw potential for operating a small business in Scottsdale. Most were legitimate

and honest concerns; however, articles in the Scottsdale Progress say that the newly formed Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce would try to make sure that “gyp artists” were discouraged from operating in the town. Until Scottsdale officially incorporated as a town in June 1951, the Scottsdale Chamber—comprised of merchants, guest ranch operators, artists, professionals and other small business owners—voluntarily organized and funded events, advertising and infrastructure to serve the growing community.

Scottsdale continues to welcome small business activity today, building on the foundations established nearly 120 years ago.

We lovingly preserve the historic properties of some of our business pioneers (pre-World War II), such as Cavalliere’s Blacksmith Shop, Farmer’s State Bank (now the Rusty Spur), Johnny Rose’s Pool Hall (now Mexican Imports) and Saba’s Department Store (which opened as Sterling Drug Store in 1921).

Scottsdale small businesses—past, present and future—we thank you for contributions to our economy and quality of life. 

Chandler-based Saba’s opened its first of three stores in Scottsdale in the late 1940s on the northwest corner of Brown Avenue and Main Street. The beloved Western wear stores recently announced its closing. (Scottsdale Historical Society photo)

Your car air conditioning works much better when you’re actually driving, because the faster the engine turns, the faster the A/C compressor runs, which lets the system cool more effectively. Don’t waste time and gas by letting your car run before you go. If the interior is really hot, crank up the fan when you start driving, and open just the rear windows for 10 to 20 seconds.

This forces all the hot air out of the cabin. Don’t open the front windows—that only moves the heat out of the front of the car, and it will leave the air in the back of the cabin hot and stagnant.

2. Go Low

Setting to the lowest temp and adjusting the fan makes the car air conditioning more efficient, will dry out the air less, and can actually save some fuel. Why’s that? In a typical A/C system, the air is cooled to 38 degrees. If you set the temp higher, you are actually forcing the system to re-heat your air, which takes more effort, burning more fuel.

3. Don’t Recirculate

If you have passengers in the back seat, turn off the recirculation mode.

This takes air from the front of the cabin and pulls it back through the system, so even though everyone up front stays cool, the air in the back can get stale and hot.

4. Make Sure Your Filter’s Clean

Since we live in a dusty climate, have Rayco check and replace your cabin air filter every year or 15-20,000 miles. This serves as a pollen filter for all incoming air into your cabin.

Streets of New York has feet planted in Arizona

By Eric Newman

Jaime Pinette is passionate about her work with Streets of New York in the Scottsdale Airpark at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Pima Road. (Photo by Kimberly Carrillo)

W

hen Streets of New York President and CEO Lorrie Glaeser walks into any of her restaurants, she gives several hugs and calls her staff by name.

After all, she wants her restaurants to have that family atmosphere, including the store at 15560 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, Scottsdale.

The Streets of New York has strong family ties. Hailing from New Jersey, the Glaesers followed relatives to Arizona, where they were ultimately dissatisfied with the Italian food options in Phoenix.

They just weren’t like home.

Her husband, Bernd, owned German bakeries and was familiar with the restaurant business. In 1976, they bought an Italian spot at 32nd Street and Cactus Road.

“We had to create a whole new menu, new ingredients,” Glaeser says. “It was a lot of work at first, but we have loved all of it.”

Menu items include standard appetizers like baked New York chicken

“Create-your-own” New York pizzas start at 10 inches and range in price from $11.30 to $21.25 depending on size, with options for additional toppings for an extra price.

and feta (starting at $14).

A 10-inch cauliflower crust is available as well for $13.50.

“It’s hard to find a good gluten free pizza,” says Jaime Pinette, general manager of the Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard location. “We get compliments on it all the time. People say it’s one of the best they’ve had.

“I’m not a gluten-free eater, but the cauliflower pizza is amazing and I would order it every day.”

Salads are aplenty, with antipasto, Greek, garden, Cobb, spinach, gorgonzola pear and Caesar salads on the menu for $7.50 to $11.90.

The antipasto salad has Italian meats and cheeses and is topped with house Italian dressing that is made in-house, Pinette says.

“Our salads are off the chart,” Pinette says. “I’m not the sort to go to a restaurant and order a salad. But we have a Cobb salad that has breaded chicken and hard-boiled egg. It’s a traditional Cobb salad and very good.”

Lorrie Glaeser is the president and CEO of

wings ($13.50) and Italian sausage with mozzarella and marinara ($9.50).

But, Streets of New York is best known for its variety of pizza options. “Createyour-own” New York pizzas start at 10 inches and range in price from $11.30 to $21.25 depending on size, with options for additional toppings for an extra price. There are also specialty pizzas like the New York combo with pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, mixed bell peppers, mushrooms, onions and black olives (starting at $14) or the Mediterranean pizza with spinach, tomatoes, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, olives

Pinette is just as passionate about the restaurant as Glaesar.

“I’ve been here a long time and both of my brothers worked here when we were teenagers,” Pinette says. “Now I’m running one.”

This Airpark location is bustling with business lunches and catering preparation.

“We love our neighbors in the Airpark,” Pinette says. “We can cater, too, for any event. If you want it, we will make it bigger. A lot of our pastas, salads and pizzas are perfect for catering. Those are the most popular.”

Based in Paradise Valley, Streets of New York has spread into venues like Chase Field and Talking Stick Resort and Gila River arenas as the offi cial pizza of several of Arizona’s biggest sports teams. She has also partnered with Grand Canyon University. She’s hoping to work with ASU to offer pizza to college students.

For over 40 years, the Glaeser family has run the successful chain, and even though “New York” is in the title, they have ingratiated themselves into Arizona.

By hosting blood drives and fundraisers, The Streets of New York has become an undeniable part of the Valley.

“Lorrie is a wonderful person to work for and we truly are just a big family,” Pinette says. “We always talk about the passion of the pizza and our garlic knots are actually called passion bread. We all get excited about coming to work. It’s not like I have to go to work.”

Glaeser’s passion rubs off on the staff, and she is adamant about having her hand in the business.

“All this time, I’m still going out to the restaurants, and I’m still wearing my high heels,” Glaeser says. “And I am not going to stop any time soon.”

hat makes for a perfect bagel? According to Shelley Curtis of New York Bagels ‘N Bialys, dunking it in a steaming kettle of bubbling hot water before it’s baked in an oven.

“We serve a traditional New York bagel,” Curtis says. “We boil our bagels first. It’s not bread with a hole in it.”

This boiling-before-baking stage gives bagels their signature crusty outsides and chewy insides, and along with coowner Ruth Leatherman, Curtis has been creating the circular mainstays of Jewish deli cuisine in Scottdale since 2005. Their in-house bakers turn out thousands of individual bagels daily in a wide range of flavors, most of which are kosher.

Leading styles include all-time favorites like egg, salt, poppy, pumpernickel, rye, onion and garlic. Modern bagel innovations are served, too—ones that were probably never dreamt of a century ago on the Lower East Side. Think blueberry, strawberry, jalapeño and asiago cheese.

And, of course, everything bagels are also among the many holey choices.

And while bagels have been a part of everyday mainstream American culture for more than 30 years now, some might wonder just what is a bialy.

“It’s similar to a bagel, except it’s not boiled first, so that makes it lighter and fluffier,” Curtis says of bialys. She adds they’re less sweet than bagels and are lower in calories. They also don’t have holes. Available with many of the same toppings as found in the restaurant’s bagels, the rustic disks also come in flavors like chocolate chip, cinnamon-raisin

The Deep South makes a show with chicken fried steak and country gravy.

And the Southwest shines with zesty huevos rancheros. Omelets abound from the chock-full-ofham Denver to the Greek’s twist of spinach and feta. Delicatessen classics include matzoh brie, knishes, cheese blintzes and a towering version of French toast made with challah bread.

“One of our signature dishes is the ‘Pile Up,’” adds Leatherman, joining in to describe the restaurant’s wide-reaching fare.

The astounding (and aptly named) creation impresses with three crispy potato pancakes layered with eggs, ham, bacon and sausage with cheddar and American cheeses. Then, for good measure, everything’s bound together with a drizzle of delectable cheese sauce.

Eggs Benedict fans can choose from six styles of the Hollandaise-draped dish, including combinations like the avocado-centric California, the chorizoladen Southwestern and the Reuben with mounds of corned beef and sauerkraut.

Lunchtime offerings lead with cold sandwiches piled high with sliced meats

including roast beef, pastrami, salami and turkey breast as well as spreadable toppings like tuna and chicken salads. Hot sandwich styles range from beef brisket and French dip to grilled chicken and salmon. Add in to the mix leafy salads such as sirloin on fresh greens with bleu cheese and balsamic glaze, plus piping-hot matzoh ball and chicken noodle soups, among others.

For beverages, a full bar is available for cocktails, including Bloody Marys and mimosas. On the soft drink side, stars include rich vanilla egg creams, bubbly chocolate phosphates and an array of Dr. Brown’s bottled sodas.

Save room for dessert and try Leatherman’s scratch-made cookies, macaroons, rugelach, halvah bars and more. To round out New York Bagels ‘N Bialys offerings, there’s a fun kid’s menu (think finger-friendly silver dollar pancakes, quesadillas, grilled cheese and the like) and even pooch-friendly snacks including grilled chicken breasts and beef patties for pet owners to share with their furry family members.

No matter what you order at New York Bagels ‘N Bialys, Curtis says to expect “a family vibe.”

“We feed you what we like to eat,” says Curtis with a smile. “We take care of you like you’re friends.”  NEW YORK BAGELS ‘N BIALYS 10320 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale 480-991-3034, nybagelsnbialys.com

t’s as pretty as it is delicious!

This banana pudding with a Springtime twist makes a fantastic everyday dessert, or for something very special like Mother’s Day! I often tell the story of how I’ve always used certain brand names throughout my life like Clorox Bleach and Gold Metal Flour.

Why? Because they were the brands that my mom used, and so for me, there is a built-in brand loyalty. Pepperidge Farms is another one of those tried and true brands that have earned our loyalty. So, this year for Mother’s Day, I’ll make mom this scrumptious treat using Pepperidge Farms Chessman cookies.

Give it a try. I think you’re going to go bananas over it! 

TOURISM Talk

Travel sometimes beckons us to a new home

By Rachel Sacco, President and CEO, Experience Scottsdale

W

hy does travel matter? It’s a question our industry is answering during this year’s National Travel & Tourism Week, May 5 to May 11. Because both in Scottsdale and across the country, travel matters to our personal well-being and quality of life.

Many of us in Arizona moved here from somewhere else. And many of us first came to Scottsdale as visitors. People like Winfield Scott, Frank Lloyd Wright and Paul Gallagher all traveled to the Scottsdale area as visitors.

In Scott’s case, the area inspired him upon his visit in 1888. He later founded the quaint agricultural community that became Scottsdale. In the 1930s, Wright became perhaps the original snowbird, a winter visitor who built his home in the Sonoran Desert, thus putting Scottsdale on the map for creative minds. Gallagher traveled frequently to the area before moving his business, Motorola, to Scottsdale and diversifying the city’s economy in the 1950s. And I would be remiss not to mention the numerous contributions made by Gallagher’s wife, Virginia G. Piper.

We hear stories like this constantly. People who travel to Scottsdale for vacation and fall hopelessly in love with this desert city.

I, myself, lived in Scottsdale as a young child. I still remember eating sundaes at the Sugar Bowl with my family. Years later, those memories brought me back to Arizona as I

left Little Rock, Arkansas, to attend Arizona State University. I never looked back.

Think back to what first brought you to this place. Was it a family vacation? Were you traveling here for a business meeting or conference? Did you come for an event like Spring Training or Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction?

Now think about what made you decide to call this city home. Perhaps it was the pristine trails in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, the wellness culture in a city with more spas per capita than anywhere else in the country or the world-class arts and culture, from the galleries in Old Town to the museums like Western Sipping along the Scottsdale Wine Spirit: Scottsdale’s Trail during Scottsdale’s Thursday Museum of the West. night ArtWalk. (Photo by Scottsdale Each day, we pass atGallery Association) tractions, restaurants, golf

courses and resorts. Throughout the year, our calendars are filled with special events and festivals. These amenities have become so ingrained in our lives, so common place, that at times we forget that so much of them wouldn’t exist without Scottsdale’s thriving tourism industry.

Because people travel here and spend their money here, investors have built hotels and resorts. Chefs have opened restaurants.

Golf courses have been renovated. And homes have been purchased.

Travel matters because it may have brought you here in the first place. It matters because it supports the community and sustains our quality of life. Travel helped make Scottsdale what it is – a beautiful place, a welcoming community and a world-class destination.  Editor’s note: Rachel Sacco is the president and CEO of Experience Scottsdale, which establishes Scottsdale as a year-round, luxury travel destination.

Automation alternatives for human resources

By Paul Breslau, Breslau Insurance & Benefits Inc.

R

outine and repetitive tasks are the first that are automated. In human resources this includes a multitude of systems for payroll, 401k plans, insurance benefits, time and attendance, training, compliance, communications, OSHA safety, performance review, tracking of company property, employee skills and licensing, etc. Over time, these systems continually improve their ability to work together and be integrated.

For example, from the Paylocity.com website: “Our software was built on the

(single) direction. Leverage the systems you need without the hassle of disparate data, time-consuming management or a poor user experience.”

According to Kendall Green of Harbor America, the impact starts with recruiting and hiring. From the hapeo.com website: “New hires require a lot of paperwork and a lot of time. Our electronic onboarding system and your dedicated Harbor America HR expert will help get your new employees onboard and making you money. This includes collecting all the

belief that clients should have the ability to choose the systems right for their business—not the other way around. With 300-plus integration partners across 20 product categories, our open architecture allows you to streamline the management of payroll and human resources data across other business platforms. Our 180degree and 360-degree integrations give vendors the ability to automate the flow of data to and from Paylocity, or in either

necessary tax documents and employment verification, eVerify (as required).”

The above are two basic ways to integrate automation for human resources.

Paylocity and similar companies are payroll and technology companies.

Harbor America and its competitors are professional employment organizations or PEOs, which take human resources help a few steps further. Additional human resource automation methods are also

64 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

developed by insurance companies, and specialty companies.

Some payroll companies including ADP also offer PEO plans, which, in its case, is called ADP TotalSource. Then there is Zenefits, which started with free payroll if it was the benefits’ agent or broker. Zenefits is migrating to a pure payroll and automation company and starting to work with the big brokerage agencies.

Competition between payroll companies, PEOs, agents and brokers is fierce.

What is important to you as a business owner or manager is to work with trusted professionals. These are difficult to find because many account executives only represent one company. A perspective is difficult to obtain.

For example, AFLAC, Colonial and others compete in the voluntary worksite insurance market. According to Mark Wheeler of AFLAC, “Offering employees and their families the ability to avoid financial catastrophe for a small monthly premium can be invaluable.”

MetLife, Principal and others compete in the ancillary insurance market, which is like worksite, but different. Depending on your business circumstance there are advantages and shortfalls to each.

The pace of change is fast due to technology improvements and legislation.

The competition leapfrogs each other in meeting market demands. Please use your own advisers or to give me a call.  Paul Breslau is partnering with leading local experts in all lines of insurance and business services.

ADVICE fromWeiss MAY 2019 Business Horoscopes

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

ARIES 3/21-4/20 It’s a busy month ahead, Aries, with little time to waste from the 1st to the 16th.

Put those ideas into play the week of the 6th. Spend moderately because planets are speaking conservatively this month.

Midmonth you’ll have concerns about your finances. Between the 6th and the 21st, you’ll have a few new opportunities. Be willing to do the work and follow through.

TAURUS 4/21-5/20 The month ahead holds a few surprises. The new moon comes along once a year and sets the tone for the next 12 months. Be flexible; it’ll work to your advantage. Reconsider a partnership. Brush up on communication skills: ask.

GEMINI 5/21-6/20 This month’s patterns are calmer. The new moon in Taurus on the 6th brings a more upbeat attitude. Midmonth could bring a new source of income. Utilize that ability to sell yourself and your ideas. Once mercury enters your sign on the 21st, speak up.

Others will listen.

CANCER 6/21-7/22 This year is interesting. You’ll see numerous changes with work, career or personal life.

Think about taking time off for weekend getaways or networking. Sharpen your people skills. The full moon on the 18th brings a commitment full circle. This “yes or no” allows you to move forward.

LEO 7/23-8/21 Watch the early new moon on the 4th and address your personal image or professional

profile. There is a possibility of a promotion, particularly later in the month. Work may require extra hours or efforts. Expect pleasant—or unpleasant—temporary financial changes. They’ll take you by surprise around midmonth. Around the 20th, your focus will turn toward family and home life.

VIRGO 8/22-9/23 That get-it-done approach will pay off this month. You are one of the Earth signs, along with Taurus and Capricorn, who are in for life-changing experiences. May brings an unexpected new job or opportunity to advance. Virgos excel in the health and healing arts. Expect these next six months to bring rapid scientific and high-technology advancements.

LIBRA 9/24-10/23 Expect to do a financial balancing act this month. Conservatism is in style and the color is green. Past connections will reappear and show support. Your innate diplomatic ability may require a compromise on your part as your work area becomes more active. It’s best to arrange meetings or make presentations once mercury enters Gemini. Social/work life takes on an enjoyable rapport.

SCORPIO 10/24-11/22 A personal or more important financial matter that requires attention may arise as you start out the month. Be prepared to compromise on or before the full moon on the 18th. It’s all good Scorpio, once Mars move in Cancer on the 21st.

Your communication skills are excellent.

Personal and business relationships are more meaningful as you regain your sense of personal control.

70 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2019

SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/21 Pay attention to what’s going on in the world of travel. On the road, Sags should arrange alternative travel schedules in advance. Your opportunities may slow down a bit, allowing you to make needed changes from May to September.

CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 Take a good look at your relationships, financial status and personal life. Early May is about the completion of a project or plan. New alliances or interests can begin the second half of the month. May 21 to June 8 is an enjoyable cycle. Enjoy!

AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 Muddle through the early part of May. Months have colors. May is green and has you willing to undergo financial changes.

Re-evaluate your priorities. You may have a new position or career to consider.

Accept surprises one step at a time. News you receive around the 21st puts you in a strong position.

PISCES 2/19-3/20 Pisces excel in the healing and health field. High technological and scientific advancements will contribute to your work this year. Soon, personal interests move to another creative level. You downsized a bit, but your earnings will increase. Vacations may be cut short.
