$30M, Hiring Plans Drive GCU Neighborhood Revitalization

Posted on September 25, 2014 by webmaster in Economic Development // 0 Comments

By Angela Gonzales for Phoenix Business Journal

"Brian Mueller, president and CEO of Grand Canyon Education Inc., has big plans for the neighborhood surrounding Grand Canyon University’s Phoenix campus (AZBEX, Sept. 16).
Not only does he plan to grow enrollment of that campus to 25,000 students over the next five years and increase the footprint of the campus to 240 acres, but he has bigger plans to revitalize the surrounding neighborhood.
Mueller said he plans to hire hundreds of people in the next couple of years and is working with local churches to identify qualified members of their congregation to fill those spots.
He’s starting with Love International for the first five jobs . . ."
Love International is next to a 30-acre parcel GCU recently acquired at 27th Avenue and Camelback Road.

On that land was a swap meet building that has been turned into an office complex that employs 700 GCU workers.
GCU also bought a hotel next door that had been used for prostitution and is being converted to a “Holiday Inn equivalent,” Mueller said. Plans call for building a restaurant, conference center and four-story office complex on that property fronting Camelback Road.
The total investment for that 30-acre parcel is about $30M, Mueller said.
Once that project is completed, GCU’s 800 employees in Peoria and 800 employees in Tempe will move to that center, creating a workforce of 2,400 people on that spot, he said.
GCU also just signed a contract with Habitat for Humanity to rehabilitate 700 homes between the 27th Avenue and Camelback acreage and GCU’s campus at 33rd Avenue and Camelback.
