o kick off June’s Business Briefcase news, we are looking at new projects in Buckeye.

Buckeye will be home to two medical office buildings, as well as a full-service physical therapy clinic.

Health care real estate to open in Buckeye

IN THE BIZ

Mangat Group is developing Sundance Medical Center at the northwest corner of Yuma Road and Sundance Parkway in Buckeye.

The two-story medical office building will total 43,600 square feet.

Banner Health will also build a hospital in Buckeye at the northwest corner of Verrado Way and I-10. The new four-story hospital will total 330,000 square feet.

“Buckeye is in need of medical services, everything from women’s services to pediatrics to imaging to specialty services to geriatric medicine to outpatient facilities,” said Andrea Davis, principal of Andrea Davis CRE. “As one of the Valley’s fastest-growing markets for new commercial growth, Buckeye is expected to experience a medical office building boom as the young family-oriented city continues to grow.”

Sundance Medical Center will break ground later this year and open in mid2023.

The building will house an outpatient surgery center on the bottom floor, as well as building and monument signage, medical parking, covered reserved parking, a drive-up to the entrance to drop off patients and a generator pad on site.

“Underneath the trendy design, Sundance Medical has cutting edge structural features needed for medical practitioners,” Davis said.

“The developer will help with an upfront space design of the suite and there is a generous tenant improvement allowance. We are already negotiating with enthusiastic practitioners.”

Commercial activity in Buckeye is on the rise as the city sees investments across all industry sectors, Davis said.

Foothills opens 27th location in Buckeye Location: 1300 S. Watson Road, Suite A104 Valley-based Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy opened its 27th location in Buckeye on May 16. The clinic offers free rapid pain assessments.

body deserves to move and enjoy life at an optimal level.

“My primary goal as a physical therapist is to provide the care I would want for my family and friends: the best. I take the education and knowledge I have and match it with my patients’ needs, wants, and goals to create the best plan for success,” Kramer said.

“Buckeye is the second-fastest growing city in the United States. We are excited to provide the surrounding area with the Foothills experience and be an active member of this community. We believe this is an ideal location, and it is going to be a convenient and patient-focused clinic.”

Services include physical, sports physical, pediatric physical and geriatric physical therapy.

ADOT uses witty messages to promote driver safety

he freeways around the Valley are plentiful and highly traversed.

So, the Arizona Department of Transportation staff threw a little humor into their safety messages on overhead signs.

Doug Pacey, the assistant communications director for digital communications for ADOT, said despite the witty messages, the purpose behind them is quite serious.

“The things we look for are things that are front of mind to people and what they can relate to,” Pacey said.

“The whole goal is to get people to think and talk about traffic safety. Everyone knows they should wear their seatbelt, or they shouldn’t speed, or they shouldn’t drive drunk, but all those things keep happening.

With ADOT for more than nine years, Pacey said over 90% of crashes are caused by driver behavior—impairment, speeding, recklessness or distraction.

“If we can come at something from a little bit of a different angle, and make people raise their eyebrow or think about it, that’s what we want to do,” he said. “We really want to change driver

PUBLIC NOTICE INVITATION TO BID Bids Due: June 30, 2022 – 10:00am Project: Indian School Rd South Half CFD Civil Improvements DMB White Tank LLC seeks qualified General Contractors, with a minimum A- General Engineering license, to submit sealed bids for the above referenced project which consists of, but is not limited to concrete, paving, streetlights, signage and striping in accordance with the plans and specifications (the “Work”).

behavior with these messages.”

ADOT is not the first state to utilize messages like these. The Iowa Department of Transportation uses witty messages to encourage safe driving. An ADOT employee saw those at a 2015 conference.

He said the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

“They like seeing them,” Pacey said.

“I think people want to see other peo-

ple — including themselves — to be reminded to make good decisions behind the wheel because we’re all on the roads together. It’s not just an ADOT thing; it’s an all of us thing.”

To schedule messages, ADOT utilizes an opportunities calendar with a list of holidays, sports events, movie releases and concerts.

From there, they brainstorm, come up with three or four ideas, send them through management and choose the one that goes up. They only post at low-priority times, however.

“These nontraditional quirky safety

messages are scheduled at the lowest priority,” Pacey said. “So, anything else that’s happening like an active incident on the highway, or a crash that’s blocking two lanes ahead, or construction related restrictions or closures, or amber, blue silver alerts, things like that.

“All of those things take precedence over the PSA messages, the PSA messages that we display are up there when nothing else would be up there.”

When asked which of his signs was his favorite, Pacey thought back to the first one ADOT came out with.

Named after a 2015 New York Times guacamole recipe that included peas, ADOT’s flagship sign read: “Drinking and driving goes together like peas and guac.”

ADOT does its best to keep the public involved with the signs.

For the fifth year, ADOT is running a contest for submissions. From the entries, ADOT will choose 15 to 20 finalists and then have a public vote to decide the two to three favorites. Those then run on ADOT’s message boards.

“People really enjoy it,” Pacey said.

“I think people take a little bit of pride in it. And when I say people, I mean, obviously we do it a lot. But I think the public takes a bit of pride in it.”

Verrado Offices – 4236 N. Verrado Way Suite A200, Buckeye, AZ 85396. Bids submitted after 10:00am will not be accepted.
