TUCSON, AZ — MIKID – Mentally Ill Kids in Distress, Inc. (Dick Geasland, CEO) purchased a 6,400- square-foot building, located at 925 E. Bilby Road in Tucson, from OneAZ Credit Union for $375,000 ($58.60 PSF).

MIKID is a non-profit, licensed Outpatient Clinic, Family-Run organization in the State of Arizona and contracts with all the Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs) in the State as well as Gila River Indian Community and the AZ Community Rehabilitation Services Provider to provide behavioral health services to youth and families throughout AZ. MIKID currently has offices in Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, Casa Grande, and Prescott Valley. In addition, MIKID offers in-home and community supports across the state.

MIKID provides support, education, and skills development to families and their children as well as youth and young adults who are experiencing mental health and behavior challenges throughout Arizona. This is accomplished through MIKID staff providing one-on-one family support, peer support, health promotion, support groups, training and education, both individual and community-based living skills, respite, and connecting families and individuals with natural supports in the community. MIKID’s approach is grounded in the focus of assisting families and youth to have a strong and respected voice in the services they receive, the systems that provide those services, and their community at large. These services are unique in that those staff providing many of these services are family members, parents, and young adults who have personal “lived experience” in dealing with behavioral health needs. MIKID requires all staff who provide services to the parents to have “lived experience”.

The property was formerly a Children’s Success Academy and buyer will use for office and learning facility. It has a large meeting hall, 12 classrooms, full working kitchen, fully fenced with four 20-foot wide gate entry points.  Administrative offices, and two large bathrooms.

TUCSON, AZ – Wash Management Holdings, LLC of Scottsdale purchased Classic Car Wash and Quick Lube (Earl Sherron, member) at 4300 W Ina Road in Marana for $1.8 million ($141 PSF). Buyer also owns Car Wash Camelback in Phoenix.

The 12,780-square-feet of improvements include a convenience store & 3-bay oil change with full-service hand car wash with touch free tunnel.

The buyer purchased the business established in 2002 along with the real estate on a 1.47-acre parcel.

Located on the north side of Ina Road, west of Old Father Road in Marana, the property is near Chevron, Shell, InTown Suites Extended Stay Living, Auto Glass Shop, Goodyear Auto Service Center, Jack Furrier Tire & Auto Care, Jiffy Lube and various other auto parts and services businesses.

The construction near Ina Road and I-10 is taking a toll on businesses as construction continues to cause delays and detours. The Ina Road interchange will be closed for about two years as crews work to build an overpass to eventually lift Ina Road above the railroad tracks and the freeway. The community is asked to remember these businesses during this time.

In an effort to help businesses in the area, the Town of Marana has kicked off the Ina Corridor Business Support Program to provide businesses with outreach opportunities so they can stay afloat during tough times.

Jeff Pavone and Alexander Pavone with Commercial Plus in Scottsdale, Arizona handled the transaction for buyer and seller.
