US-based real estate company Thompson Thrift has commenced the construction of the commercial portion of a mixed-use development in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale in Arizona, US.
The 12-acre commercial portion, situated at the southwest corner of Loop 101 and Northern Avenue, sits on the northern half of a 24-acre land.
This portion will be occupied by Slim Chickens, Cobblestone Auto Spa, Whataburger, a 122-room hotel, QuikTrip, Extra Space Storage, and Black Rock Coffee.
Thompson Thrift Commercial managing partner Ashlee Boyd said: “This is a prime site for development in a city that is experiencing significant growth and job creation.
“The development process requires patience, persistence and vision, and it is a great feeling to begin construction on a fully leased commercial development.”
The company sold over 10 acres of the site to Missouri-based real estate developer Ridgehouse Capital.
