MESA – On Wednesday, Lincoln Property Management broke ground on the Class A office space in Mesa Riverview, which it announced back in June.

The development, now called Waypoint, is located at 1138 Bass Pro Drive and is scheduled to move in its first tenant, the headquarters of American Traffic Solutions, along with some 500-plus jobs, in November.

“Three years ago, Harvard didn’t have any projects in the city of Mesa,” Craig Krumwiede, president and director at Harvard Investments, said. “We wouldn’t be in Mesa without the city’s commitment to responsible development.”

Krumwiede went on to say that the city’s fast tracking of development permissions and other aid allowed the project to meet the deadline necessary to attract ATS to the site.

 

Harvard Investments and LPC creating 425KSF offices

Posted February 24, 2016 by AZRE

With the just-closed, $34.34 million office acquisition of Riverview Point, Harvard Investments and Lincoln Property Company (LPC) will combine new construction with existing buildings to establish a 425,861-square-foot, Class A office campus at the borders of Tempe, Scottsdale and Mesa, Arizona.
The new development, branded collectively as Waypoint, will combine Harvard and LPC’s recently delivered Waypoint One Class A office building. Ground will be broken soon for Waypoint Two Class A office building and the existing, two-building Riverview Point portfolio.
The result is a four-building business campus situated on 34.53 acres along the Loop 202 and adjacent to Mesa Riverview, a 1.3 million-square-foot retail, hospitality and entertainment complex.
“With this activity, we’re establishing an almost half-million-square-foot office destination within one of the Valley’s brightest business corridors,” said Craig Krumwiede, president of Harvard Investments. “It is a tremendous opportunity to create a very strong new portfolio asset in the market.”
Developed in 2008, Riverview Point consists of two, two-story office buildings totaling 164,861 square-feet at 1138 and 1146 N. Alma School Rd. in Mesa. The project is 98 percent leased to tenants including Ashton Woods, Mitel Corporation, Udall Shumway PLC and the corporate headquarters for Nextcare.
In March, Harvard and LPC will break ground on Waypoint Two, a 152,000-square-foot Class A office building adjacent to Waypoint One at 1130 N. Alma School Rd. in Mesa. Waypoint Two is designed to accommodate single- and multiple-occupancy users. Like Waypoint One, it will provide a “high-tech” aesthetic with clean lines, timeless materials, simple detailing, bright and open lobbies and workspaces and abundant parking.

December 08, 2015 06:03 PM EST

A new master-planned residential community in Mesa’s expanding Gateway corridor.

Harvard expects to break ground in January 2016.

We are excited to be part of a unique master-planned community that will bring housing, retail space and job growth to the city of Mesa,” said Robert Vahradian, Senior Managing Director of GTIS Partners. “Our partner and exceptional design team has integrated the homes, landscaping and amenities together in a way that fosters a true sense of community in the neighborhood.”

Development Timeline Harvard Investments anticipates having homes available in 2017 as part of phase one of Cadence at Gateway. Phase one plans include approximately 600 homes built by nationally-respected builders, in intimate residential neighborhoods, with abundant parks and a trail system, and resident amenities that include a fitness center, pools, sport courts, community center, café and more.
In future phases, Cadence at Gateway’s master plan includes a centrally located school site, additional community parks nestled among individualized homes, trails, and a main street commercial experience at the community’s main entrance.
Design and Land Plan
Built on New American Traditional Design principles, Cadence at Gateway will foster neighborhood connectivity with short residential blocks (average 10 homes on either side), separated sidewalks with abundant greenery, roundabouts, and distinct parks and landmarks for each neighborhood within the community. A richly landscaped entrance will, over time, include a business district with shopping, services and recreation reflective of a traditional main street.
Additionally, Cadence at Gateway homes will emphasize indoor/outdoor living, usability, durability, modern conveniences and distinct floor plans for every type of homeowner – from those just starting out, to couples celebrating an empty nest and every type of family in between.

Accessibility
Located near the Loop 202 Santan Freeway, at State Route 24 between Ray and Ellsworth roads, Cadence at Gateway is situated in the center of the East Valley’s growing Gateway corridor. The new community will provide residents access to high tech employers, a multitude of education options and the thriving Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport.
