TUCSON, AZ – CropTrak, a mobile farm app developer based in Tucson, has relocated its headquarters from N. Campbell Ave. to 5055 East Broadway Suite C-207 in Tucson. Bob Davis of Tango Commercial Real Estate assisted CropTrak in finding the space and negotiating the sublease agreement.

CropTrak president and co-founder Aaron Hutchinson said the 3,000-square-foot space accommodates his Tucson-based staff of eight with room for eight to 12 additional employees to be hired over the next 24 months.

Founded in 2009, CropTrak’s revenue growth is on track to double in 2016 according to Hutchinson. The customizable GIS app is already being used by large food producers, large growers, agronomists, soil labs, seed and chemical companies in over 50 countries.
Boasting the industry’s fastest and easiest data capture technology, “CropTrak helps farmers and food producers turn crop data into knowledge, decisions, and compliance paperwork,” Hutchinson explains.

“As entrepreneurs ourselves, we have a soft spot for Tucson start-ups and CropTrak is the latest in a long list of Tucson-based start-ups Tango has helped with their commercial real estate needs,” said Bob Davis co-founder of Tango with business partner Tom Hunt.

A native Tucsonan with more than 30 years of local commercial real estate experience, Davis has taken his passion for the local community and focused his career on building relationships that spur economic growth and preserve the uniqueness of Tucson and the Sonoran region.

“To old real estate guys like us, it’s not just about connecting companies with the right space, it’s about connecting them with the right people and mentoring them ultimately along a successful path. Other start-ups with whom we have enjoyed working include bioVeteria, Borderlands Brewing, Calimmune, Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals, LawLytics, Revolutionary Medical Devices, StageXchange, SmartThings, Metropia, Merchant’s Garden, nMode, Picmonic, Rbar, Teleost, 2Shoes and InHouse Marketing, to name a few,” said Davis.

“Everyone talks about having business mentors and incubators to help their business,” Hutchinson said. “Not many think how having a real estate mentor can help with office space acquisition, one of the most expensive business decisions for startups and small businesses. Bob and the Tango team went above and beyond to make sure we understood what we were buying, that it meets our unique requirements, and that we paid a fair price, so CropTrak got the right space and our business can continue to grow and use capital smartly.”

TUCSON, Ariz. – Hayes Soloway, a Tucson-based law firm that has secured more than 3,000 patents over 35 years for independent inventors worldwide, has renewed its lease of 9,170-square-feet at 4640 E Skyline Drive for five more years. Bob Davis and Tom Hunt of Tango Commercial Real Estate represented both the landlord and the tenant.

“I enjoy working with Tango because they understand the needs of all businesses, from startups to multinational corporations, which is something I can relate to,” said Nick Soloway, founder of Hayes Soloway. “They make the lease process both seamless and enjoyable.”

Hayes Soloway recorded its first patent with the USPTO in 1979, claiming a method for producing a deodorant using hops for Dr. Joseph Owades and his client, S.S. Stiener, Inc. Dr. Owades would go on to receive international recognition for utilizing hops in a more traditional manner, becoming known as the “Father of Light Beer” and contributing to the development of the Samuel Adams Lager. Hayes Soloway assisted Dr. Owades in obtaining more than a dozen beverage-centric patents.

On March 25th, 2014, Hayes Soloway obtained its 3,000th patent and the count is not complete. Officing at 4640 E Skyline Drive in Tucson since 2011, Hayes Soloway continues to work with clients both domestic and abroad to protect intellectual rights of inventive entrepreneurs.

“Being both a patent attorney and serial entrepreneur, I know firsthand the necessity and value of intellectual property protection that companies must have,” Nick Soloway professes on his website. “In today’s global marketplace, it has become even more important that the product be protected with patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. Without this protection, products or technologies are vulnerable to being copied and produced by competitors. All too often the innovator does the creative and the missionary work, only to witness an imitator enjoy the financial rewards.”

Tom Hunt of Tango comments, “Nick plays an instrumental role in the entrepreneurial community, something Tango appreciates and supports. It was an honor assisting him in this renewal process and we wish him continued success.”

They support product development, project management and instrumentation development for a variety of industries, including medical devices and medical instrumentation – areas that are always of special interest to us at Tango.

“I’ve known Bob Davis and Tom Hunt for many years through their dedication to our high tech and entrepreneurial economy,” said Marcus. “Tango Commercial Real Estate represents the spirit of Tucson. They care about our local economy, about their clients, and they treated me like family during my hunt for new space.”
