Plexus honors 45 employees for milestone anniversary Plexus Worldwide recognized 45 team members who have reached their five-year work anniversaries with a vacation to Orlando.

Employees and a guest were treated to a four-day stay at Gaylord Palms Resort and a one-day pass at either Walt Disney World or Universal Studios.

Plexus has created a strong culture of celebrating and rewarding its employees for performance and tenure by providing stellar

benefits that include a weekly cash drawing, floating holiday, many learning and development opportunities, and paid volunteer time to give back to the community.

“We greatly value our team members and want to show our appreciation for their unique skills and contributions,” says Mary Beth Reisinger, chief human resources officer of Plexus Worldwide.

“They all work extremely hard to do their jobs, and we want them to feel

rewarded and appreciated for their commitment to our organization.”

While vacationing in Orlando, employees could participate in a 5K walk supporting breast cancer awareness. Plexus donated $10,000 to Cancer Support Community Arizona, a nonprofit organization that offers free emotional, nutritional and educational support to those impacted by cancer.

AIRPARK BusinessNews Forbes: Wilde among top advisers in Arizona Forbes named Wilde Wealth Management Group chief executive officer and investment adviser representative Trevor Wilde to its 2022 Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list.

In total, 110 advisers from across Arizona were named to the list, with Wilde being named the No. 2 overall adviser statewide.

This is his second year in a row earning the No. 2 overall ranking.

According to Forbes, this ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, gained through telephone, virtual and in-person due diligence

interviews, and quantitative data.

The advisers who are considered have a minimum of seven years’ experience, and the algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those who encompass best practices in their approach to working with clients.

Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK receives a fee in exchange for rankings.

In February, Wilde was named to Barron’s top 1,200 advisers nationwide, coming in at No. 2 overall in Arizona. It was Wilde’s

14th consecutive year being honored and fifth time in the top five statewide.

Beyond the honors, Wilde joined the boards for Junior Achievement of Arizona and Child Crisis Arizona amid COVID-19 and grew his team despite the challenges of the pandemic, including expanding both the Scottsdale-area headquarters as well as Tucson office and adding new affiliate partners Self Wealth Management in Scottsdale, Mosaic Financial Associates in Tempe, and Premier Wealth Management Group in Albuquerque.

He is opening his first Sedona office.

Pioneer Title Agency donates $75K to housing funds Pioneer Title Agency donated $75,000 to the Arizona and Northern Arizona housing funds in the past year.

The donation is thanks to an initiative wherein Realtors, buyers, sellers and Pioneer ’s employees may donate to either organization as part of their closing process. For every dollar donated, Pioneer

Title is matching 100% of the contribution up to $100,000, for a total donation of $200,000.

This program will continue until the donations reach $200,000 between the two organizations. It comes on the heels of the company’s Commitment 2 Community (C2C) Initiative, a partnership with the

Arizona Community Foundation that helped provide more than $140,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations across Arizona. Grant recipients were nominated and voted on by team members across Arizona. Pioneer formed C2C in May 2020 to connect to its communities and give back despite the pandemic restrictions.

Group donates $35K to local scholarship program In other Wilde Wealth Management Group news, the firm partnered with Arizona Tuition Connection to develop a scholarship fund to help low-income students attend Notre Dame Preparatory Academy.

The initial scholarship was made possible through a $25,000 donation by the firm, one of its many Wilde for Arizona community outreach efforts.

In recent weeks, as founder Trevor Wilde prepared to make a second $25,000, he was

approached by firm investment adviser representative Jason Fial who matched the first $10,000 of the donation, allowing for a total donation of $35,000.

“The idea for the scholarship first came thanks to my oldest daughter, who attends Notre Dame Preparatory,” Wilde says.

“Through the school, I was introduced to Tim Kuhn, executive director of ATC, who pitched the idea of helping local students gain access to quality education via our own scholarship.” 

‘Nothing Can Prepare You for Those Words’ Airpark nonprofit foundation supports families battling childhood cancer

By Jordan Houston

C

hrisie Funari’s passion for helping families affected by childhood cancer is personal.

Her daughter Ava was only 18 months old when she was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of pediatric cancer.

Ava spent the next roughly four years undergoing harsh treatments that caused her teeth to disintegrate, her hair to fall

10 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2022

out and her kidneys to fail.

Two days after telling her mother she didn’t want to “feel like this anymore,” Ava died. She was 5 years old.

Funari vowed from that moment to channel her grief, as well as her frustrations, into supporting other families in similar situations. She founded the Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children, which aids 300 families per year with free financial, social and emotional assistance.

“I knew I always wanted to do something the entire time she was sick. Nobody asked me how I was doing or how my son was doing, so when I started the foundation, our main purpose was to focus on the entire family,” Funari says.

The Scottsdale nonprofit, located at 14550 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, Suite 100, offers financial assistance, including medical, rent and other expenses associated with their child’s cancer diagnosis. It also provides coping skills workshops and individual and family counseling services.

“This is how I choose to deal with my grief. I have all of this sadness and frustration inside of me,” Funari says.

“They say, ‘When you can’t help yourself, help somebody else.’”

The foundation’s support is divided into “three pillars,” Funari says.

The financial pillar covers medical bills, mortgages and end-of-life services, while the second pillar falls into the social category, encompassing family events, art classes and more. The third pillar is canine

therapy and counseling.

All the foundation’s families are referred by a social worker from one of the several Arizona hospitals dedicated to pediatric cancer, Funari explains.

“It is so rewarding to be able to give

Airpark News

back to these families. It’s something I wish I would have had during my journey with my daughter,” Funari says. “It’s so rewarding just to know that you’re giving somebody — a mom or a dad or a child — peace of mind.”

K9 Therapy has been a major success with the foundation’s families, she adds.

Although the nonprofit works with a handful of trained therapy dogs, it’s a 5-year-old chocolate Lab named Leo who has stolen the hearts of many.

“He’s just so wonderful with the kids. If someone is in a wheelchair, he knows to walk or sit with them,” Funari says.

“He’s a trained therapy dog and he only works here and with children with cancer, but he lights up the whole family and everybody just loves being around him.”

Another service setting the nonprofit apart, according to Funari, is its end-of-life support resources.

The Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children provides financial assistance for funeral services and end-of-life expenses. It also ensures families have continued support after their child dies.

“When we help families and work with them, we don’t just help them once — we help them multiple times,” Funari says. “When a family has a child that passes away, that is so traumatic. It is the worst thing ever, and I couldn’t imagine helping these families and then say, ‘OK, we helped for two years and now we’re done,’” she says. “No, we’re not done — we’re never done.

“We’ve had kids that help that are survivors that have come back to volunteer.”

ACFC families can also participate in the nonprofi t’s programs, such as the cancer warriors events and counseling services, for up to a year after the fact.

The Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children has helped over 900 families affected by pediatric cancer since its inception in 2014. While its impact has been monumental, its origins stem from humble beginnings.

Funari operated the grassroots organization out of her home for nearly two years before transitioning into the Airpark around 2016, she recalls.

“I like to say we are ‘homemade,'’’ Funari says. Currently, ACFC has room to host only one family at a time in its facility. Funari says she plans to move into a 15,000-square-foot facility, called Ava’s Treehouse, by next year.

Her vision is to “raise the bar” in pediatric support and offer children diagnosed with pediatric cancer a place to “experience a safe and advantageous childhood.”

“At the end of the day, there is nothing we won’t do for the families. I’ve been there, and I know what it feels like to feel like you’re isolated, alone and don’t know where to turn,” Funari says. “We want to do whatever we can do to help them, and if for some reason we can’t, we’ll find somebody that can.”

The new location will feature a state-of-the-art facility catering specifically to the special needs of children with cancer and their families. 

Dream ‘Chasser’

Barry Chasse makes heart-based leadership the key to his career

F

By Alison Bailin Batz or 15 years, longtime Airpark resident Barry Chasse has worked to build Chasse Building Team into one of the preeminent general contractors in Arizona.

The business — which leads new construction and renovations in K-12 education, higher education, multifamily, municipal, commercial, health care and nonprofit — has completed dozens of projects in the Northeast Valley, including Formation Scottsdale, Cheyenne Traditional School, the Hohokam Elementary School rebuild and Novel Midtown.

In the industry for 30-plus years, Chasse is celebrating the business’ success by giving it all away.

Pouring the foundation

The ASU graduate is a member of the Sun Devil 100 that celebrates the achievements of Sun Devil-owned and -led businesses across the globe, and a life member of the Arizona Builders Alliance.

He got his professional start in 1988 with a large national contractor looking to put down roots in the Valley of the Sun. He spent 17 years with the business, growing it to more than 150 employees across Arizona. He built a reputation as a teambuilder, team player and innovator.

“Those were special years, as much meeting and marrying my wife of 26 years, Rikki, and having our two daughters, Rylee and Sydney,” Chasse adds.

By the mid-2000s, Chasse dreamed of building his own business.

“I wanted to do things differently than (what) was the norm at the time in our industry,” Chasse says. “Certainly, I wanted to responsibly build projects across Arizona, but I also wanted to help my teammates build lives they could be proud of, build up our community and make clients’ loftiest of visions a reality.”

Armed with ambition, great relationships and a handful of colleagues who believed in

him, Chasse founded Chasse Building Team in 2007.

“Just in time for the Great Recession,” Chasse says. “No one could have guessed what the next five years would look like for our industry. Every single person who worked for us, with us or around us was impacted.”

And while those first years were far from smooth sailing, they helped Chasse to understand that company culture — especially morale — were more than just part of a mission statement or “dream”; they were essential to moving from surviving to thriving.

“You cannot run a business in a silo, especially one that requires so much interconnectivity to fire on all cylinders,” says Chasse, who developed what he calls a “heart-based” leadership mentality. “Every single person willing to give our team eight to 10 hours of their day away from their families deserves a voice, both in what we build and how we do it.”

Connecting the dots

Chasse’s leadership style clicked. Despite the recession, they earned business and loyal team members.

“There were just a handful of us during those first years; and I am proud to say many of them are still with us today,” says Chasse, who has grown the business to more than 200 employees and $420 million in construction projects annually.

By leading with his heart, Chasse is constantly improving processes and working to keep morale high at the company, hosting everything from ’80s-themed proms and annual staycations for every single employee to family-friendly campouts and group volunteer projects.

Chasse also mentors team members to chase their passions outside of the office, many who as a result have taken on key leadership roles within the community chairing golf tournaments, chairing the Scottsdale Charros and earning “volunteer of the year” kudos from the Scottsdale 20-30 Club.

“Thanks to input from our team, we’ve also been able to invest more than $3.5 million in donations and sponsorships to critical causes in this community that mean something to them on a personal level,” Chasse says.

When developing his new headquarters in 2019, he took ideas from his staff and, as a result, it enhanced the building’s sustainability. He also added games, installed relaxation chairs, built a full bar, and designed a fully stocked kitchen with cold brew on tap.

LEANing in

“Insight from our team, meaning actually sitting down and talking one on one versus an email or text now and again, also helps us get better every day,” says Chasse, noting one of the key initiatives developed through meaningful exchanges is Chasse Lean.

Chasse Lean is a collaborative process to achieve maximum value on all of the organization’s projects while minimizing project waste such as cost, material, time and effort.

“This approach starts with identifying and creating a project community,” Chasse says.

“The community is everyone involved in successfully completing the project, including the owner, architect, us, trade partners, consultants, inspectors and more. The community adheres to Chasse’s Lean culture by being respectful of each other, collaborating by asking instead of telling, and striving to get better every day.”

Next, from the baseline construction schedule prepared during the design phase, Chasse invited the entire project community to participate in a Pull Planning Session.

Using a graph schedule and sticky notes,

community members can map out their task, what they need to start, how many days the task will take, and how many team members are involved.

Chasse then facilitates weekly meetings between community members to ensure milestones are being met and the project schedule remains on track. During weekly meetings, partners present the previous week’s progress, their scope of work for the upcoming week and a look ahead for the next six weeks based on the master schedule.

“Through this, we’re able to be very proactive rather than reactive in identifying delays and the corrective actions needed in order to reduce rework and waste,” Chasse says.

Beyond that, every morning all trade foremen actively working on the job site attend a Daily Huddle. Daily construction activities, any constraints, and safety are covered during this brief meeting.

“Chasse Lean also succeeds by using technology and software effectively to benefit the entire community,” Chasse says. “From Building Information Modeling and project fly-throughs to 4D construction schedules, everyone is able to communicate successfully in exciting and effective ways.”

Several projects using this methodology — the John S. McCain Elementary School, U-Haul Health and Wellness Center, Pima Community College Automotive Technology and Innovation Center, Arizona State University Alameda Warehouse and the Hohokam

Elementary School Rebuild — were recently honored with 2022 Real Estate Development Awards.

What’s next

Chasse celebrates Chasse Building Team’s 15th year.

As a surprise to the staff, Chasse recently announced Chasse Building Team was a becoming a 100% employee-owned firm by launching an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Under the plan, all eligible employees will earn a yearly allocation of stock and their value will increase as the value of the firm increases along with all other benefits already in place.

“We want our employees to act and think like owners and directly benefit from Chasse Building Team’s continued success as participants,” says Chasse, who is staying on as president.

The plan is designed as a long-term retirement benefit for all employees as owners.

“Team is in our name for a reason,” Chasse says. “I’ve always led with my heart, and this time it led me here, to an amazing long-term and sustainable solution for us while simultaneously providing a significant wealth-building benefit to all of our teammate owners.” 

The

Keeley Report Last year brought infrastructure and apartment projects to submarket

By Scottsdale Airpark News Staff

D

espite pandemic conditions, 2021 brought new development projects and relocating companies to the growing Scottsdale Airpark submarket.

This, according to a report released by Colliers in Arizona, included infrastructure projects by the city of Scottsdale and new apartment buildings.

Toward the end of 2021, the city of Scottsdale began new roundabouts at 76th Street and Raintree Drive and 76th Street and Redfield Road. This is the start of infrastructure plans being installed throughout the Scottsdale Airpark area.

Additional construction in the area included construction of new apartment projects in the submarket. Many owners of properties in the area took advantage of the COVID-19 slowdown to renovate or update existing buildings in preparation for the return to normalcy.

During 2021, some new companies moved into the Scottdale Airpark. Vincit USA acquired Vuria, a software development company. This is just one example of technology companies seeking space in the submarket.

Ravenscroft, a new 30,000-squarefoot music venue and multi-use space, was created during 2021. The company purchased a building in Perimeter Center and performed a significant remodeling and re-purposing of the property.

On the land front, the state of Arizona

continues auctioning property in the area.

During December 2021, the Mayo Clinic successfully bid on 228 acres at the southwest corner of Loop 101 and 64th Street for creation of a patient care expansion and development of a biotech center.

During the first quarter of 2022, two sites are scheduled for sale: a 51-acre site at the southeast corner of Loop 101 and 64th Street, as well as a 124-acre site at the northeast corner of Bell Road and Loop 101.

Commercial space is increasingly being used for auto-related purposes in the Scottsdale Airpark. Recognized for its collectible car auctions, Scottsdale has become a year-round hub for collectors. It is now estimated that 45 privately owned collections are housed in the Scottsdale Airpark.

These car owners are occupying space in hangars or warehouses, both rented facilities and owner occupied. Buildings remodeled for this use tend to feature 80% showroom and 20% office configurations.

It is estimated that more than $85 million of classic and exotic cars are now located in the Scottsdale Airpark.

The Scottsdale Airpark submarket is expected to remain active during 2022.

Ilume, the former Henkel headquarters property at Loop 101 and Scottsdale Road, is expected to attract new biotechnology tenants to the area, which will enhance this employment base.

Additionally, Axis Raintree will com-

plete its new 175,110-square-foot offi ce building at Raintree Drive west of the Loop 101. This completion will coincide with construction of two apartment projects located near the Axis building.

The submarket is expected to expand its already-robust collection of companies and employees during the upcoming year.

Currently, the Scottsdale Airpark contains more than 46 million square feet of commercial space housing 3,339 companies.

These firms employ in excess of 63,500 people within the submarket. Colliers in Arizona estimates that by 2030 these figures will grow to 53 million square feet of space and upward of 4,200 companies employing 82,000 people. 

2030 Report

ZONING

The original report for the Scottsdale Airpark began in 1980 and was named the 2010 Report. In that Base Year of 1980, there were 3,320 employees, 1,580,000 square feet of buildings, and 268 companies in the submarket. We renamed the report in 2010 to the 2030 Report in order to see 20 more years out. The report is published once a year and this is the 31st annual publication.

SIZE

The Scottsdale Airpark has exceeded every recorded predictions for growth since then.

Currently, the Airpark has approximately 62,525 employees, 46,014,246 square feet of buildings and 3,339 companies.

Similarities between Y2K and COVID 2.0 in 2021 in the Scottsdale Airpark Do you remember 1999? There was a large build-up of concern of the turning of the clock to 2000 (they called it Y2K), and what a catastrophe it was going to be for people’s welfare, finance and business, etc. We all woke up on January 1, 2000 and … there was no catastrophe!

NUMBER OF COMPANIES

In March of 2020, COVID-19 emerged, and again people were concerned about the catastrophes that were going to occur. Here we are in 2022, and as far as the Scottsdale Airpark and the commercial real estate market are concerned, there was no catastrophe.

There was, however, an absorption of flex, industrial, automotive and some office and retail space. In addtion, we experienced more land sales.

±3,339

BUSINESS CATEGORIES

±130 (i.e., accountants, auto, publishing, aerospace/defense, light manufacturing, retail, high tech, healthcare & biotech, business services, hospitality, retail, etc.) ±62,525

There was also quite a bit of disruption in 2021, mainly in the office leasing market.

Many companies occupying more than 10,000 square feet put “on pause” their lease extensions and growth plans. The company goals were to wait until they could determine what the new normal would look like in 2021, with regards to employees returning to the workplace versus working remotely.

2021 brought many additional cranes to the landscape as new apartment buildings were constructed and many owners took advantage of the COVID-19 slowdown to remodel or update their existing buildings.

The Automobile Impact on the Airpark There are approximately 45 privately owned car collections in the Airpark, either leasing space in hangers or warehouses, or owners who have purchased their own buildings and remodeled. Oftentimes, these remodeled buildings that previously offered half office and half warehouse are now 80% showroom and 20% office. It is estimated that there are over $85,000,000 of classic and exotic cars in the Airpark being enjoyed every day, and not just during the high auction events each January.

Airpark Infrastructure Towards the end of 2021, we saw construction of new roundabouts at 76th Street and Raintree Drive, and near 76th Street and Redfield Road area. This construction caused street closures and signaled the beginning of the new Scottsdale Airpark street infrastructure plans utilizing modern roundabouts. They are being installed from Raintree Drive / Loop 10, then west to Scottsdale Road/Thunderbird Road.

When completed, the street will be named Raintree Drive up to Scottsdale Road, and Thunderbird Road west of Scottsdale Road.

Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) The Arizona State Land Department will continue auctioning state owned land to the private sector. On December 15, 2021, Mayo Clinic was the successful bidder on 228 acres at the southwest corner of Loop 101 and 64th Street for future patient care expansion and the development of a biotech center.

Also scheduled for sale in the first quarter of 2022 is a 51-acre site at the southeast corner of Loop 101 and 64th Street, as well as a 124-acre site at the northeast corner of Bell Road and Loop 101.

As most of the Fee Simple private land in the Greater Scottsdale Airpark has been developed, we will continue to see more ASLD parcels come to market. Typically, these larger parcels require an extensive forward commitment to add water, sewage, streets, drainage and all other infrastructure.

The 134-acre Cavasson master plan with Nationwide Insurance was an ASLD Sale in 2018. They now have two office buildings up and running, and a new, 237-room Hilton Hotel, Event and Conference Center under construction.

The “Zoomification” of Society: Tech Influence Impossible to Ignore in 2021 As quickly as COVID-19 in 2020, by 2021 most people were comfortable working remotely and using the Zoom process to stay in contact, host meetings and show projects. This new process of converting previously in-person life events into online formats, is here to stay.

New Companies Vincit USA acquired Vuria, a software development company.

Many other new software related technology companies have opened up in the Airpark.

Ravenscroft is a new 30,000 sf music venu and multi-use space. The company purchased a building at Perimeter Center, performed an extensive remodel and the Airpark now has a very productive music venue in the employment base.

Predictions for 2022 and beyond Ilume, the former Henkel headquarters at Loop 101 and Scottsdale Road, will secure new tenants and bring new biotechnology to the Airpark employment base.

Axis Raintree’s new ±175,110 sf office building at Raintree Drive just west of the 101, will soon secure leases for half the building. The two new apartment projects, located just north and just west of the Axis building, will be up and running in 2022.

Interest rates are predicted to rise as much as 9-10% by 2025.

Predictions for 2030 •

Your virtual assistant will still be at your side “always on.”

•

The greatest height and density will be along the Loop 101 freeway from Princess Drive to 56th Street. The Desert Ridge area will become part of the Greater Scottsdale Airpark Employment Base due to the Loop 101 development occuring along the freeway.

•

The Greater Scottsdale Airpark will include 82,000 employees, 53 million square feet of office, flex, industrial, retail, multi-family, hotels and car dealership buildings and contain upwards of 4,200 companies.

Scottsdale based Axon Enterprises purchased 73 acres from the ASLD in September 2020, on which the company will construct its new corporate headquarters.

Smart/Agile Land Use We saw more redevelopment of older buildings being torn down and new mixed-use projects going up. These mixeduse developments (MXDs) added new residential units, restaurants and creative workspaces.

The airport

The 2021 fiscal year was successful for the Scottsdale Airport, and the good times appear to be rolling.

Scottsdale Airport was named the world’s fourth best airport for business aviation departures, according to WingX, software that tracks business aviation flight activity globally.

Despite a 39-day closure during the summer for an $11 million runway rehabilitation project — its

biggest project to date — the airport was back to running full capacity in August 2021 “What we’re seeing is that even though we’ve had a slack in our operations from last year due to our project is that our business jet activity is increasing, which has helped us in earning our title of being fourth in the world for business aviation departures,” says Sarah Ferrara, the aviation planning and outreach coordinator with the Scottsdale Airport.

The airport’s steady traffic is attributed to convenience for business travelers.

“You land and can have a car waiting for you to head to wherever you work, play or plan to enjoy life,”

Tim Roemer, Sarah Ferrara and Jim Keeley take questions at the forum luncheon on March 10.

Ferrara says.

During Scottsdale’s event season, the airport saw a 77% increase in business aviation departures, which was largely due to 2,000 departures for Barrett-Jackson and 1,800 for the WM Phoenix Open.

The airport has also added and leased 14 hangars to its space through city funding at a price tag of $9 million.

“We know there’s a need for hangar space,” Ferrara says. “We have the challenge of being landlocked, but we created box hangars through a city-funded project.”

The project did not affect taxpayers.

“We funded this internally without any grants and we built these box hangars to lease these out, which has helped us recoup the cost of building $9 million through leasing agreements,” Ferrara says.

The airport has also welcomed more fixed-base operations.

“We welcomed Jet Aviation, which gave us three fixed-base operations alongside Ross Aviation and Signature,” Ferrara says.

“Having a third fixed-base operation was, in itself, huge. But as part of its lease agreement, Jet Aviation is investing another $8 million into building a hangar at 18,000 square feet to fill the need for more hangar space.”

That project is anticipated to start in the late spring or early summer.

Jet Aviation is also investing $30 million into a private hangar with an expansive ramp for clients’ aircraft. The 3-acre plot will feature office space and a terminal.

Ross Aviation also expanded by investing $18 million into its hangars, offering 56,000 square feet of additional hangar and office space.

The projects have come at the perfect time, as the airport is preparing for the Super Bowl. The airport is partnering with the FAA to divert as much traffic as possible from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and remain busy during the tourism influx.

Tim Roemer, Sarah Ferrara and Jim Keeley inform luncheon attendees of the victories the Airpark was celebrating throughout 2021.

Within the airpark’s 46 million square feet of buildings and 130 separate industries, Colliers International founding partner and designated broker Jim Keeley has noticed a change in the area.

“The pandemic spurred a paradigm change, but the last two years have brought a reset,” Keeley says.

“Cavasson, Nationwide’s 450,000 square feet that will grow to 1 million square feet or 134 acres, is getting the most activity in the Valley for companies that are 50,000 square feet or more.”

Another project Keeley is keeping a watchful eye on is the Axis at Raintree development — a three-story, 175,000-square-foot

building with two new apartment complexes being built around it.

“They’re looking for 50,000-square-foot tenants and bigger, and they’re patiently going to wait for that,” Keeley says.

Keeley reported an influx in industrial development across Scottsdale.

“The Scottsdale Airpark has not had industrial development for the last 20 years because the land values 20 years ago have exceeded such that most industrial developers went elsewhere,” he says. “Because industrial development is so valuable right

now, we have a couple of projects to keep an eye on.”

The first is a 124-acre parcel of land off Bell Road and Loop 101 that sold on March 7 for $125 million.

“You’re likely to see a million square feet of development come in there, which should be great for the Airpark,” he says.

Keeley is also watching a 20-acre development on the Seventh-day Adventist campus. It has a 99-year lease with another developer to create 240,000 square feet of industrial space.

Keeley has his eye on industrial and commercial developments but is following the city’s housing shortage.

“The housing shortage is dire in Arizona and throughout the country,” he says. “The first decade of the century, we overbuilt, but the second decade we’ve underbuilt, which is why we’re seeing more apartments coming up,” In 2010, the area had 3,600 units; today it boasts 9,400 units. Between 2010 and 2022, the square footage of residential buildings grew from 38 million to 46 million.

However, Keeley foresees good news coming to the Airpark shortly. He predicts that the greatest activity will be along the Loop 101 from Princess Drive to 56th Street.

The Desert Ridge area will become part of the Greater Scottsdale Airpark employment base due to development along the Loop 101.

He also predicts that the Greater Scottsdale Airpark will have 82,000 employees, 53 million square feet of office, flex, industrial, retail, multifamily, hotels and car dealership buildings and about 4,200 companies by the year 2030. 

Staying ‘True’ Stylists prove mothers can do anything

A

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski my Phillips was helping her mother move when she came across one of her class assignments.

“It was a paper I wrote when I was 9 about what I wanted to be when I grew up,” Phillips says. “I said a hairdresser or a babysitter.”

The North Phoenix resident is living her dream with True Salon in the Scottsdale Airpark. She and fellow stylist Holly Canton founded the space earlier this spring.

“We wanted people to feel comfortable and safe,” says Canton, a California native.

“We wanted just a comfortable place for clients to get their hair done. It’s like you’re home, but you’re not. We knew it would be stressful, but if we did it together, it would be fun.”

Located in Salon Plaza, True Salon offers haircuts and trims for children, preteen/teen and adults; highlights; glaze; blow dry; men’s cuts; color correction and waxing.

True Salon sells Virtue products that rebuild and restore hair. They have been touted by myriad magazines as well as Oprah Winfrey.

“We both wanted something that had a clean, fresh smell and was better for the environment,” Canton adds. “We tried it personally, because we try everything on us, and it’s incredible.

“It’s an up-and-coming line. It’s all over Instagram, and Sephora has it. It’s perfect.”

Roots of the business

Before Canton entered the industry 15 years ago, she wavered between playing professional soccer and doing hair.

When she and her husband relocated to the Valley, she was hired by Cast Salon & Spa at High Street. There, she and Phillips, who

Holly Canton, left, and Amy Phillips, right, founded True Salon, located in Salon Plaza, earlier this spring.

also worked there, became acquainted with each other’s work.

“I always dreamed of having my own really intimate place,” says Phillips, a Chicago native. “It took 26 years, but we did it.

“We wanted a place for our customers to feel comfortable, somewhere they can share their super exciting or sad news. We wanted something very cozy and intimate and where people felt safe.”

The spot has stylists’ chairs, a shampoo bowl, and a hutch that holds Virtue’s colorful bottles. Serene and cozy, like Phillips says, True Salon is perfect for individualized attention and it’s less intimidating than larger spaces.

“Everybody is treated equally — if they’re famous or not,” Canton says. “That’s what we would want. I sometimes walk into stores looking like I just rolled out of bed, and they treat me weird. I’m still in there ready to buy

24 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2022

something, though. It doesn’t matter who it is.

We want everyone to feel equally welcome.”

The salon’s moniker aligns with their beliefs as well.

“We named it ‘True’ because we were being true to ourselves,” Phillips says.

“We believe in each other. There are some technological issues that we struggle with, but we just figure it out because we’re worth it. It would be a disservice to our families and daughters if we didn’t pursue our dreams.

We’re showing our kids that mom can do everything.”  True Salon Holly Canton Amy Phillips 7077 E. Bell Road, Suite 200, Scottsdale https://truesalon.glossgenius.com

What's Cooking?

With JAN D’ATRI

Chicken scaloppine a la Marsala

E

very May, I feature a wonderful, original recipe from my momma to honor her and her great classically Italian dishes for Mother’s Day! She’s known for her foolproof dishes that we can count on for a delicious and memorable meal. This month, it’s her chicken scaloppine.

This is the dish that put her famous restaurant in Lake Tahoe on the map. Once you taste it, you’ll see why.

When she created the dish in 1955, she prepared the dish with veal, but we have found that slices of chicken breast pounded into tender medallions are as flavorful.

I’m so excited to share momma’s scaloppine with you because this is a gourmet dish that is expensive at Italian restaurants, but now you can make it at

home anytime you like.

It really only takes about 5 minutes to make, once you have all of your items prepped. Preparation is important because it will sauté quickly. This was the first

Momma’s Chicken scaloppine a la Marsala Serves 4 Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 medium boneless chicken breasts 1 cup flour for dredging 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 3/4 cup Marsala wine 1/2 cup butter, cubed 1 cup sweet yellow onion, chopped fine 1/4 cup green onions, sliced thin 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped fine 4 cups white button mushrooms, sliced thin Salt and pepper as needed Uncle Ben’s white rice for serving with the scaloppine Directions In a pot, cook rice. (For more flavorful rice, add a chicken bouillon cube to boiling water.) Wash chicken and pat dry.

26 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / MAY 2022

recipe we chose when creating our first cookbook, “Momma & Me & You,” and it was the first time momma shared her recipe from D’Atri’s Italian Restaurant in Lake Tahoe. 

Remove fat. Cut each chicken breast into five or six slices.

Place chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag. Gently pound slices to form medallions, about 2 inches in diameter.

Dredge each piece in flour.

In a large sauté pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken a few pieces at a time. Add a little salt and pepper to each piece. Do not overlap chicken.

Brown each piece quickly on both sides, about 1 minute per side, making sure the heat is on high.

When all pieces are browned, add Marsala. (Important!

Use Marsala from the wine department of the grocery store and not the Marsala from the baking aisle.)

Turn heat down to medium and simmer for about 30 seconds until wine has evaporated. Add butter, mushroom, yellow and green onions, parsley, salt and pepper. Do not cover.

Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve about 5 medallions per serving. Place chicken medallions over a bed of rice, scooping sauce from pan over chicken.

Remembering tourism in pre-airconditioned, unpaved Scottsdale

B

By Joan Fudala oy, do we take for granted air conditioning, paved streets, running water, electricity, annual special events, air travel, a plethora of restaurants and lots of other resident and tourist necessities that didn’t exist in early Scottsdale.

Despite the lack of amenities and infrastructure, tourists still came to Scottsdale.

Many came as health seekers; others to see if the Scottsdale area was a place to move for a new beginning.

In celebration of National Travel and Tourism Week — May 1 to May 7 — here is a glimpse of Scottsdale’s early tourism, centered around guest ranches, health camps and inns that are gone but not forgotten.

• After Chaplain Winfield and Helen Scott settled here in the early 1890s, they brought friends and friends of friends on their property at Indian School and Scottsdale roads as winter guests. Most were here at the recommendation of their doctors in the Midwest and back East hoping the warm, dry, clean air would alleviate their lung problems and arthritis. Guests lived in tent homes, comprised of a wooden frame with canvas flaps to open and close to get a breeze or avoid the direct sun. They also benefited from the fresh citrus other fruits and vegetables grown on the Scotts’ farm.

• Across Scottsdale Road from the Scotts’ farm, Ida and Howard Underhill built a home and began taking in paying guests circa 1897. Their “Oasis Villa,” also called “Kenilworth Ranch,” advertised as a place for health and pleasure seekers in the center of the orange belt. In Mr. Underhill’s 1905 obituary in the Arizona Republican, it was noted that “Not only the delightful climate, but the moral atmosphere of Scottsdale is incomparable for it is a settlement of quite home-like people who love to be at peace with each other and with the world and who have a hospitable welcome for all who pass that way.”

• Ed and Mary Graves took over the Underhill property circa 1907, built several tent cottages and renamed it Graves Guest Ranch. Despite the lack of doctors or nurses nearby (one had to travel into Downtown Phoenix for medical treatment), health seekers came to Graves every winter to bask in Scottsdale’s climate, eat three meals a day of locally grown produce and meats, and enjoy gentle outdoor activities

The Underhills were the first to accept paying guests into their home in Scottsdale’s first decade of settlement. (Scottsdale Historical Society/Submitted Photo)

like croquet. Mr. Graves also ran a curio shop on-site that featured Native American crafts like pottery and baskets. Other guests at Graves used it as a temporary base while they built a permanent home and became lifelong Scottsdale residents. The guest ranch operated into the 1950s.

• The first “luxury” resort to open in the Scottsdale area was the Ingleside Club/Inn, which debuted in 1910, a project of father/ son W.J. and Ralph Murphy. They offered winter accommodations amid the Ingleside

citrus groves in a sprawling main lodge and detached cottages. Intending to attract potential investors in Ingleside land that the Murphys owned, or in Murphy’s Arizona Canal system, they catered to a wealthy clientele and did not accept people who were ill. Capitalizing on climate, Ingleside’s slogans were “Where Summer Winters” and “Where Summer Lingers and Winter Never Comes.”

Guests could play nine holes of golf on the inn’s all-dirt and -sand course (with the canal as a ...Continued on page 29

or horses, innkeepers provided entertainment on-site or group outings in the desert or into Phoenix. There were no special events in pre-World War II Scottsdale, no art galleries, no concert halls or theaters, and only a few in Phoenix. Rest and relaxation were the primary sources of pleasure.

• The Adobe House opened in Scottsdale in 1928, located approximately in the spot of the current Civic Center Library parking garage. Mildred Bartholow and her friend, Lucy Imogene Ireland, operated the guest ranch seasonally, described in an ad as “ideally located at the edge of the desert, out beyond Camelback Mountain… and old Spanish ranch home, converted into a modern guest home with the addition of steam heat, electricity (which had finally arrived in Scottsdale circa 1918) and private baths in each room.” The cuisine was described as prepared from Southern recipes and “daintily served.”

Adobe House closed during World War II (when rationing and wartime service curtailed most leisure travel), and Mrs. Bartholow operated the cadet cafeteria at Thunderbird II Airfield, now known as Scottsdale Airport.

• In 1928 Sylvia Evans and Lucy Cuthbert expanded their tearoom at the southern base of Camelback Mountain into the Jokake Inn. They offered accommodations decorated with art and crafts by local artisans and featured cuisine that drew inn guests as well as locals. Frank Lloyd Wright and his wife, Olgivanna, stayed at Jokake before building Taliesin West as their winter home and architectural school. Jokake had stables and Jokake Inn began as a tearoom, then added guest a Desert Camp near today’s accommodations and distinctive Southwestern Ancala Country Club on décor.

water hazard). They could also be whisked away to catered dinners inside Camelback Mountain’s Echo Canyon, where they were entertained by Native American cultural performances. Ingleside Inn operated through the 1930s, became the Brownmoor School for Girls in 1945 and was torn down for apartments in the 1950s.

• As more small guest ranches and a few larger inns opened around Scottsdale, travel to Scottsdale was an adventure in the first half of the 20th century. Most guests came by train into Maricopa or Phoenix, then by horse and buggy to Scottsdale. They stayed for most of the winter season, leaving by May 1 when tourist properties closed due to lack of air conditioning. Inn and guest ranch visitors had all their meals provided on property or on inn-catered outings. There were no stand-alone restaurants in Scottsdale until Clara Boyer Beauchamp opened the modest Scottsdale café in 1922. There were no saloons, taverns, bars or liquor stores in the area, as Scottsdale residents were leaders of the temperance movement and didn’t allow alcohol here until after national Prohibition was repealed in 1933.

• Because guests did not have their own cars

Although no longer used as an inn, the main building of Jokake stands inside the entrance to The Phoenician Resort.

REMEMBER When

...Continued from page 29

Phoenix Indian School art student Charles Loloma painted a mural of a thunderbird on the wall of the dining room.

Hopi Kotchaftewa often shared cultural experiences with guests of the lodge, which also featured a swimming pool, expansive patio and cactus garden. According to an early brochure, it accommodated 30 guests “in detached guest houses or ‘hogans’ of Indian adobe construction with typical flat beamed roofs, source of the name Kiami.”

• Mark and Janet Gruber opened El Chorro Lodge in the 1930s in buildings that had been part of Judson School for Girls. Located on the north side of Camelback Road, just east of the Camelback Inn, El Chorro accommodated 12 guests during the winter. It stopped offering rooms and became a popular restaurant that it is today.

• Although leisure travel was limited during World War II, many were introduced to the Scottsdale/Phoenix area during military training or civilian war industry work in the 1940s.

After the war, when car, rail and air travel experienced a resurgence, many guest ranches were quickly opened to accommodate travelers who were coming for shorter stays. After spending the war years “escaping” anxieties by watching Western movies, travel to the Valley of the Sun was extra appealing. Merchant Malcolm White coined the slogan “Scottsdale: The West’s Most Western Town” to attract tourists, and the newly formed Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce adopted the slogan for its tourism promotions.

• Among the guest ranches and inns opening in the late 1940s/early 1950s — and which greatly benefited from new air conditioning technology — were Robert Evans’ Paradise Inn, Dorothy Patterson’s Ride n Rock Ranch on Indian Bend, the Puntenney’s Rancho Vista Bonita at Pinnacle Peak and Pima roads, the Silverman’s Paradise Valley Guest Ranch at Chaparral and Scottsdale roads, Royal Palms on Camelback, Casa Hermosa Inn, Casa Blanca Inn, Flying-T Ranch, The Bunk House, Sundown Ranch, Yellow Boot Ranch, Sundial Guest Ranch, Turquoise Ride n Rock Ranch opened on Indian Bend Road in 1949. Owner Dorothy Patterson was famous for her desert cookouts, attended by guests of the ranch and locals.

Ranch, Kachina Lodge, El Estribo Lodge, Outpost Lodge, Diamond K, Hitching Post Lodge and T-Dart Ranch.

• By 1956, Scottsdale gained its first two year-round resort hotels — the Hotel Valley Ho and the Safari Hotel. Dozens of restaurants opened throughout Downtown Scottsdale to cater to car-driving hotel guests.

Special events began in the 1950s that thrive today — Spring Training baseball, the Parada del Sol parade and rodeo, the All-Arabian Horse Show, art shows and golf tournaments. After Scottsdale’s 1951 incorporation, streets got paved and named, businesses were licensed and utilities were in place. Scottsdale became even more appealing to visitors.

And the rest, as they say, is Scottsdale’s tourism history.

Happy National Travel and Tourism Week; we salute our historic and current hoteliers, their employees, the staff of Experience Scottsdale, event coordinators and promoters, restaurateurs, transportation operators and all those who make Scottsdale such a desirable destination. You make this a great place to live and work — like being on a perpetual vacation. 

he past two years were the hardest the global travel and tourism industry faced.

After the hardships of initial closures, hospitality businesses faced continued job losses.

New variants dashed hopes for the return of meetings business. Prolonged restrictions delayed international travels.

Now that people have begun traveling and meeting once again, the industry can finally move on from the past two years and set its sights on the future.

The “Future of Travel” is the theme of this year’s National

Travel and Tourism Week, from May 1 to May 7.

For Experience Scottsdale, that future is more competitive, inclusive and sustainable.

The travel and tourism industry has a storied history in Scottsdale, dating back to the late 1800s, when people sought the rejuvenating and healing nature of the desert at medical camps that later gave way to inns and resorts. Scottsdale’s first industry remains one of its largest and most important today. But the pandemic altered the face of the industry.

The needs of travelers and their expectations for destinations are no longer what they once were.

TOURISM Talk ensuring that, even as travelers evolve, Scottsdale remains a desirable destination — one that will attract new and repeat visitors without ever risking the Sonoran Desert we call home.

Before the pandemic, Scottsdale welcomed 11 million visitors annually who left behind an economic impact of $3.3 billion. Tourism is an incredibly fierce industry, as cities and towns around the globe compete for the same visitors and their impactful dollars.

As other destinations increase their budgets and ramp up their promotions, Experience Scottsdale’s work becomes more challenging. To stay ahead of the competition, we will lean into digital trends, working with digital media outlets and enhancing our website’s mobile experiences.

As consumers see our advertisements — whether online or on TV — we will capture and hold their attention with imagery and messaging that showcases a wider range of diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Industry research has shown that younger generations of travelers want to support brands that represent their values. Because of that, championing diversity, equity and inclusion is a gateway to growth for the tourism industry.

years instilling these values into the fabric of our organization and educating local hospitality businesses on their importance.

This ongoing effort will position Scottsdale as a more welcoming city, opening doors to new customers who have never considered

the destination.

Experience Scottsdale will continue adding inclusive imagery to our website and social media channels and partnering with influencers and writers who identify as people of color and LGBTQ+ to help tell our

destination’s story from more perspectives.

Ideally, these efforts and others will lead to those millions, both new and repeat visitors alike, traveling to Scottsdale. Yet we must be mindful that our thriving tourism destination is in a delicate, natural environment. The prevalence of climate change and overtourism

has travelers reconsidering how and where they travel — with many choosing more sustainable brands and experiences.

Fortunately, local hospitality businesses have long been mindful of protecting our Sonoran Desert setting with innovative, green practices. Experience Scottsdale

will lean into messaging about sustainable and responsible tourism so that visitors understand their role in visiting a destination where increasing temperatures and drought are major areas of concern.

The travel and tourism industry is Scottsdale’s past and present. Join Experience Scottsdale this National Travel and Tourism Week as we recognize that tourism is a critical component of Scottsdale’s future as well.  Rachel Sacco is the president and CEO of Experience Scottsdale, which establishes Scottsdale as a year-round, luxury travel destination.
