Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) announces that DM Ventures I, LLC, the owner of 2005 E. Indian School Road in Phoenix, recently leased 24,797 square feet of prime office space to Christ’s Church of the Valley, Inc. (CCV). The home of Leslie’s Pool Mart retail store and headquarters, the award-winning project was a renovation of a vacant Sam’s Club into a light, productive and creative re-use complex. Jerry Jacobs and Steven Callahan, both with NGKF, represented DM Ventures, I, LLC on the transaction.
“The Camelback East Village neighborhood is steadily expanding its footprint into a larger development area,” explained Jerry Jacobs, executive managing director at NGKF. “The Leslie’s Pool Mart retail store was an early stimulus for this neighborhood renovation. Employment, housing and retail in the neighborhood are increasing, and we expect this growth to continue.” The renovation of 2005 E. Indian School Road won the NAIOP Best Redevelopment Project of the Year in 2015 for its adaptive reuse of the previously occupied Sam’s Club. With the addition of CCV, the project will be 100% occupied.
When complete, the Indian School Road campus will mark the seventh location for CCV. “We’re excited to further reach this Valley through the addition of the Midtown Phoenix campus,” said Andrea Sing, Director of Communications. “We are dedicated to positively impacting our communities by strengthening and connecting families.”
With more than 25,000 people currently attending 25 services at its six campuses each weekend, CCV is the largest non-denominational church in Arizona and one of the largest churches in the United States. In April 2011, CCV began its multi-site strategy by opening a second campus in Surprise. They have since opened additional campuses in Anthem, Avondale, Mesa, Scottsdale and, soon, Phoenix. CCV offers practical messages relating to everyday life, and provides children’s programs with hands-on fun; all campuses offer identical services for children through adults each weekend.
