SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.  (August 19, 2026) – CBRE has arranged a $45.8 million refinancing for Scottsdale Towne Center, a 168,090-square-foot retail center located at 15444 North Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. in Scottsdale, Arizona. This is one of the largest retail financings in Scottsdale year-to-date.

Shaun Moothart, Bruce Francis, Doug Birrell, Bob Ybarra and Nick Santangelo with CBRE Capital Markets’ Debt and Structured Finance practice secured a 5-year fixed, full-term interest-only loan on behalf of their client.

“This loan on a shadow-anchored center signals that life company balance sheets have strong conviction in this asset type again, especially in core markets like Scottsdale,” said Moothart, executive vice president at CBRE.

Scottsdale Towne Center is nearly 100% leased. The center is anchored by TJ Maxx, Ross and Mountainside Fitness and shadow-anchored by Target.

The sponsor acquired Scottsdale Towne Center in 2021 and subsequently leased a previously vacant 50,000-sq.-ft. space to Mountainside Fitness’ flagship location, helping increase occupancy to nearly 100% and positioning the asset for refinancing.

The center is located at the southeast corner of Loop 101 and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard within Scottsdale Airpark, Arizona’s second-largest employment corridor. According to CBRE Research, North Scottsdale is one of metro Phoenix’s strongest retail submarkets, with rents averaging $30.20 per sq. ft. and vacancies of approximately 4.2%.

Tucson, Ariz. (August 19, 2026) – The University of Arizona Center for Innovation (UACI) was recognized as one of America’s Best Incubators & Accelerators in 2026, as published by TIME Magazine, securing national recognition for its success in helping entrepreneurs launch and grow innovative science and technology companies. The ranking spotlights the United States’ most effective entrepreneurial programs that deliver the greatest value and measurable outcomes for early-stage companies.

UACI earned the number 56 ranking through a comprehensive evaluation conducted in partnership with the data firm Statista, which included organization submissions, feedback from startup founders and alumni, and assessments from experienced entrepreneurship and innovation professionals.

As part of Tech Parks Arizona, a not-for-profit focused on university-based economic development, UACI serves as a foundational element of a broader strategy to grow local companies, support business retention, and attract new enterprises. UACI’s impact spans more than 20 years, supporting over 1,500 entrepreneurs and 300 startups that have secured upwards of $200 million in capital.

The incubator’s impact is best illustrated by the progress of companies like Paramium Technologies, a satellite communications startup based on University of Arizona research, which transformed early-stage innovation into a growth-ready enterprise through UACI’s tailored mentorship. After graduating from the incubator, the company expanded into the UA Tech Park to construct its first Magnum antenna, highlighting UACI’s ability to support the company in refining its business model and go-to-market strategy, creating a clear pathway for growth and expansion.

UACI has expanded its impact through a new digital incubation program, increased support for international companies with its award-winning Soft Landings program, and strengthened partnerships that connect entrepreneurs with mentorship, funding sources, and industry expertise.
