PHOENIX, ARIZ. – A restaurant at one of Arizona’s iconic active adult communities recently underwent a refresh that also adheres to safety protocols implemented during COVID-19.

The Sun Lakes Community in Sun Lakes, Arizona, wanted to refresh the restaurant and bar, Cottonwood Bar & Grill, 25630 S. Brentwood Drive, with a new look and feel that made the establishment more appealing to members as well as its guests.

“The space had good bones, but the bar had carpet, mirrored ceilings and 80s lighting that needed to hit the dumpster,” said Beth Katz of KatzDesignGroup. “They wanted a space to bring their kids and grandkids to that felt modern, fresh and inviting.”

KatzDesignGroup moved the beverage and condiment servery station to the unused area of the bar, created a new permanent buffet and created more flexible areas for gathering in the bar dining area.

“The client hosts numerous community parties and events and wanted to have a more permanent buffet for those events,” Katz said. “Relocating the servery area opened the restaurant and bar space, allowing more seating and natural light. The light brick, wallcovering and warm woods all helped create an updated aesthetic.

“We put in a light LVT (luxury vinyl) wood floor, brick pilasters, wallcovering, Crypton velvets and faux alligator vinyls. We installed warm wood paneling and branded tables with custom twisted metal bases. The lighting above the bar takes elements of the metal fencing at a ballpark with the round baseball-style LED Edison bulb lamps,” Katz said.

The space always provided a sports bar atmosphere but now is more like an upscale clubhouse. The tables have been socially distanced with temporary Plexiglas partitions installed between the booths for the health and safety of diners.

“I watched a webinar on Restaurant Design During Covid and they spoke about an antimicrobial paper for multiple usage. I mentioned it to the client as an option for single-use menus and he was thrilled with a less expensive safeguard for Cottonwood Bar & Grill patrons.”

The project team comprised Mike Hall, Michael Hall Architect; Kirk Hoffman, Maven Engineering; and John Arnett, Farnsworth Construction. Notable subcontractors included LionCraft (custom lighting, booths, banquette and millwork).

Phoenix, Arizona – After a summer lull, the Phoenix multifamily industry is once again going strong. ABI Multifamily, the leading multifamily brokerage and advisory services firm in the Western U.S., has seen a surge in activity, closing 12 deals during the month of October.

“Phoenix multifamily is showing continued momentum,” says ABI Senior Managing Partner, John Kobierowski. “There was a quiet period over the summer, but once again Phoenix apartment buildings are in demand and deals are popping. We’re seeing more high-skilled workers relocating to Arizona, leaving cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle, and there’s a big need for more rental housing, making multifamily properties a smart investment.  Phoenix is also doing much better with rent collection than many other cities around the country.”

Among ABI Multifamily’s October sales were the following properties:

• The Palms on Monte Vista, a 44-unit property in Phoenix, sold for $6.2 million. Both Buyer and seller were represented by ABI Multifamily’s Dallin Hammond, Mitchell Drake, Carson Griesemer, John Klocek and Patrick Burch. The transaction involved a California-based buyer and an Arizona-based seller.
• The Harlow Apartments, a 27-unit property in Tempe, sold for $4.98 million. ABI Multifamily’s Alon Shnitzer represented the buyer and ABI Multifamily’s Rue Bax, and Royce Munroe represented the seller. The transaction involved a Washington-based buyer and an Arizona-based seller.
• Bonnie Lynn Apartments, a 34-unit property in Phoenix, sold for $3.75 million. ABI Multifamily’s Mitchell Drake, Dallin Hammond, and Carson Griesemer represented the buyer and seller. The buyer is a California-based private investor. The seller is an Arizona-based private investor.

To meet the demand for rental housing, Phoenix multifamily construction is in full swing. The recently released Q3 2020 ABI Multifamily Construction Pipeline Report showed a total of 56,022 units in the pipeline (includes all units currently under construction and in the planning stages of development). “For comparison, this approximately a 50% increase compared to the same time one year ago,” explains ABI Multifamily Research Manager, Drew Ricciardi.
