Scottsdale gets more office space
By Rebecca I. Allen, Independent Newspapers Companies looking for an upscale North Scottsdale address with the convenience of freeway access have 600,000 square feet of new office space to consider.
The North Scottsdale Corporate Center is set to break ground on the first of four buildings just south of the Loop 101.
Yet-to-be announced tenants are quickly renting space in the upscale buildings........ "You've got great retail amenities right across street, companies can pull employees from the northwest and southeast," ..... The Corporate Center will have a quad layout of 4-story, 150,000 square-foot buildings at each corner of the 33.48 acre-property at the northwest corner of Chauncey Lane and 70th Street. The Corporate Center property is just west of the southwest corner of Scottsdale Road and Mayo Boulevard.
The property is not actually in North Scottsdale. Maricopa County still holds the reigns to the former Chauncey Arabian Horse Ranch, which is in the Phoenix City limits. The developer, OPUS West Corporation, plans to apply for annexation into the city of Phoenix one building at a time, as each receives a certificate of occupancy.
The land is currently owned by the Chauncey Family Limited Partnership, headed by Tom Chauncey II. ....
The first building is scheduled to open in January 2005. Construction of each building will take approximately six to eight months. Although the four phases are staggered, they could overlap since the pace of leasing will drive the construction schedule...... The rent on the up-scale buildings is $26 per square foot, with a minimum of 5,000 square feet. As with most Class- A office space, tenants will have utilities and custodial service included.
The buildings will have at least a 50-foot setback from both Scottsdale Road and Mayo Boulevard. The 60-foot tall buildings will be made of stone, glass and stucco and be connected by a pedestrian element.
The site will have four entrances, with the primary entrances being to the north and south of the property off Mayo and Chauncey. The buildings will be constructed in four phases.
No parking structures are planned. However two covered-parking awnings may be built in the future.
The 160-acre former Chauncey Ranch is divided into quadrants; now with more horsepower than horses.
The 45-acre property immediately to the south and east of the Corporate Center is the United Auto Group, which opened several luxury car dealerships in 2002. Schumacher Mercedes Benz is in the process of building a 93,000 square-foot facility just north of the upscale auto center.
The 35-acres in the southwest quadrant is being developed with multi-family housing and the remaining 40 acres at the immediate southwest corner of Scottsdale and Mayo is zoned for commercial mixed use.
_________ Scottsdale Downtown Development Guidelines and Future Plans:  This is a $2 Billion dollar re-development investment!

Believe it, or not, I am asked this all the time! A key stat is the "cap rate," which is a percentage based on the annual rents you can collect, minus expenses, versus the property value. For a property that costs $100,000 dollars and generates $650 per month in rent minus $250 expenses, the cap rate would be nearly 5 percent ($4,800 divided by $100,000). A cap rate of 5 percent or more should provide enough cushion to offset expenses. The lower the home price compared with the rent, the higher the cap rate. If the numbers add up to positive cash flow, then it's a profitable time to buy.
