Second Valley Location Planned to Open in Early 2018

PHOENIX, Arizona –  Little Miss BBQ, one of Metro Phoenix’ most popular restaurants, has purchased a freestanding retail building at 8901 N. 7^th St. in North Central Phoenix for expansion of its brand.

Nugget Landholdings LLC purchased a freestanding retail building within the Walgreens Center at the southeast corner of 7^th Street and Dunlap Avenue.  The limited liability corporation was formed by Little Miss BBQ founders Scott and Bekke Holmes.  The building was sold by Townley 7^th LLC, a Phoenix-based limited liability corporation.  The transaction was handled by Larry Ortega, JK Jackson and Larry Miller of Colliers International in Greater Phoenix.

“In my opinion, Central Phoenix has an early Christmas gift,” says Ortega.  The BBQ restaurant has been heralded as having some of the best BBQ west of the Mississippi.  Little Miss BBQ has attracted a huge following and diners have been willing to wait more than an hour in line for the restaurant’s heralded delicacies.

Little Miss is a creation of the husband and wife team, Scott and Bekke Holmes.  “It is always amazing to work with forward thinking buyers and sellers, looking to utilize buildings with a unique history and location,” said Jackson.  The retail building purchased for Little Miss BBQ served as a former Western Union bank location with excellent frontage on 7^th Street. Constructed in 1965, the building contains approximately 23,958-square-feet of space.  The buyers purchased the structure for $725,000.

This new location will be an additional restaurant to the original Little Miss BBQ at 4301 E. University Drive in Downtown Phoenix.  Little Miss BBQ specializes in Central Texas style BBQ served meat market style.  All of the freshly barbecued meats are served by weight in butcher paper with onions, pickles, jalapenos and white bread.  The meats are cooked using Arizona oak and pecan wood in massive offset Camelback Smokers.  Plans call for the new North Central restaurant to open early next year.

12-acre Project Will Be Scottsdale’s Biggest Retail Development in Five Years

Scottsdale, AZ —  MainSpring Capital, developer of the 232-acre mixed-use Pima Center, has announced plans for its new retail development, The Block at Pima Center.

Located on the Northwest Corner of the Loop 101 and Via de Ventura on the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, Pima Center is one of North Scottsdale’s largest and most successful mixed-use business park with 1.4 million square feet already developed.  The Block at Pima Center will occupy approximately 12 acres with freeway frontage along the 101 and with full diamond access at Via de Ventura.

“The demographics for this retail project could not be better,” says Curtis Brown, principal with MainSpring Capital Group.  “We currently have 3,800 existing employees on-site at Pima Center, as well as thousands of additional employees and residents in the nearby area.  Our visibility along Loop 101 and access to two different interchanges of the freeway make this a great location for retailers and restaurants.”

The Block at Pima Center will contain upwards of 60,000 square-feet of restaurant and service retail space.  The property contains six pad sites for stand-alone users.  A large freeway pylon and monument sign will be erected along Loop 101 to provide additional visibility for The Block’s tenants.

Stan Sanchez, Larry Miller and John “JK” Jackson of Colliers International in Greater Phoenix are exclusive leasing/sales agents for The Block at Pima Center.  “Since introducing the project to the commercial real estate market this month, we have received exciting response from interested tenants,” says Sanchez.  “This development provides a unique opportunity to access one of the Valley’s most desirable retail customer markets in an exciting new development.  This will be the first sizable retail development project in Scottsdale since the creation of The Scottsdale Quarter.”

Located in the heart of the Talking Stick entertainment corridor, Pima Center is surrounded by Salt River Fields baseball stadium, the Butterfly Pavilion, TopGolf, Talking Stick Resort and the recently opened Odysea Aquarium in the Desert.
