In addition to the built industrial flex, Mr. Cale acquired an existing option to purchase 6.65 undeveloped acres adjacent to the north. 

Houston-based appliance retailer Conn's Inc. has sold its Metro Marketplace location to locally-based single-tenant investors, STORE Capital, in a deal valuing the freestanding big box space at $6.78m or $152.80 per square foot. As part of the transaction, Conn's inked a thirty year lease with STORE for the location with three 5-year options to extend and Conn's retains the remainder of the neighborhood shopping center.

One week after selling 536.08 acres in nearby Buckeye for $14.4m, Darrel and Diane Kuiper of Kuiper Dairy have acquired 1230.28 acres of agricultural and vacant residential land in Tonopah in four sequential transactions totaling $12,302,800 or exactly $10,000 per acre. The seller in the all-cash transaction was Barry Becker of Becker Enterprises, who had previously undertaken entitlement action to develop the non-contiguous parcels into two master-planned communities along the I-10.

The Scottsdale Cottonwoods Resort and Suites has a new owner this week and plans have been approved by the Town of Paradise Valley to overhaul the thirty-four year old resort near Scottsdale Road and Lincoln Drive.

In June, Vizzda reported on Canadian homebuilder, MattamyHomes’ acquisition of 29.2 acres at the southwest corner of Priest Drive andthe Knox Road Extension comprising the Chandler portion of the planned Rhythm subdivision. On Friday, Mattamy closed on the Tempe portion of said subdivision for $8.015m or nearly $450k per acre in a deal that was 50% financed with seller carry debt.
