UTAZ™ Awarded Contract for Maricopa Library: Groundbreaking June 3rd

On June 3, UTAZ™ Development broke ground on the Maricopa Grand UTAZ Professional Village™ on the northeast corner of Desert Greens Drive and Smith Enke Road. Additionally, the Gilbert-based commercial developer has been awarded (in a unanimous City Council vote) the contract to build an 8,000 square foot public library—the city’s first—on the site, which will include more than 60,000 square feet of office space in 16 buildings. Offices will vary in size from 1,500 to 8,000 square feet and are expected to be complete in 2009. “There are few buildings of greater, long-term civic value than a first-class library,” said UTAZ™ president and CEO. “We are very honored to be selected for this project and look forward to unveiling a beautiful and much needed new facility next year.” Marciopa Community Services Director Marty McDonald plans to devote an area of the new library to small business, providing educational materials to help owners and entrepreneurs navigate the complications of owning a business, which dovetails with UTAZ™ Development’s core mission: helping small business owners. “We have had great success developing a superior product that allows small business owners to enjoy beautiful office space while realizing the benefits of ownership,” Willett said.

Consistent with other UTAZ Professional Villages™ (there are 36 in all), the Maricopa Grand UTAZ Professional Village™ will feature high quality design, distinctive architecture, abundant front door parking and monument outdoor signage—all designed to increase aesthetics and, ultimately, revenues. The complex will be ideally located adjacent to the Rancho El Dorado master-planned community as well as several community golf courses. The surrounding area has 4,000 existing homes and plans for an additional 4,000 in the near future.
