BLACK CANYON OFFICE CENTER - phoenix, az
BEFORE AFTER
Gross Square Footage: 100,000 s.f. 125,000 sf
Occupancy %: *50% 75%
Lease Rate/s.f.: $11-12 / s.f. $22 / s.f.
Design Fee: $200,000
Construction Cost: $3.4 mm
* The single user occupying 100% of building was
planning to downsize to under 50% of the available
space.

GOALS
Transform a single-tenant user office into a multi-tenant facility.
Capitalize on the premium interstate frontage.
Maintain the privacy requirements of the existing security conscious tenant.
CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS
CHALLENGE No freeway presence.
SOLUTION A prominent “jewel-box” 2+-story volume was designed to face the freeway. The new addition includes a
monumental stairway, a new freestanding elevator core and clerestory windows all under a cantilevered roof
structure hovering ½-story above the existing roofline. The dramatic entry point is further accentuated by raised
planter beds, seat walls, a metal trellis and towering palms. Decorative lighting and a contemporary color scheme
were also included to highlight the building's exterior.
CHALLENGE Preserve required security for existing user while providing public access for new users.
SOLUTION The existing lessee was relocated to a less prominent area of the building providing a private point of ingress and
egress, while the 2-story lobby facing the freeway became the primary public visitor entrance.
CHALLENGE Deep floor plates and narrow band of glazing created spaces with limited natural light.
SOLUTION Perimeter glazing was reworked with larger windows to provide more natural light within the tenant spaces.
CHALLENGE An interior open lobby space totaling 5,400 s.f. was wasted space and not conducive to multi-tenant use.
SOLUTION The interior open lobby was filled in resulting in an additional 10,800 s.f. of leasable area.

SOLUTION A new façade was constructed on the existing structures that integrated with the new buildings.
CHALLENGE Create a village atmosphere.
SOLUTION A variety of building shapes, forms, setbacks and a wide range of materials help to create the village feel. Individual
and unique signage for each tenant creates a fun village atmosphere.

Gross Square Footage: 360,000 s.f. 360,000 sf
Occupancy %: 0% (empty retail mall) 100%
Lease Rate/s.f.: $0 / s.f. $28-31 / s.f.
Design Fee: $780,000
Construction Cost: $13 mm

GOALS
Turn a failed shopping mall into an office building.
Utilize the lower level of the structure as a “Telco Hotel” (server farm).
CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS
CHALLENGE The shopping mall had no windows on the north side or the whole second floor.
SOLUTION A ribbon of windows was installed around the second floor. In additional a three story bank of windows was installed on
the north side of Galleria. The Owner purchased the adjacent piece of property to the north and combined the lots in
order to satisfy zoning constraints.
CHALLENGE The floor loading for the lower level was substandard for a Telco Hotel. The general standard for this occupancy is 150
– 175 lbs/sf and the original structure was 75 lbs/sf.
SOLUTION A new floor was poured at ground level with superior hanging capacity and the lower level was shored up to meet the
150 lbs/sf criteria.
CHALLENGE The electrical service was substandard for the use as was the cabling/fiber optic capacity.
SOLUTION 3 MegaWatt service was purchased from APS and installed on the adjacent property. In addition, the
telecommunications vendor organized a consortium of providers of fiber optic cable to contribute to running service
along the length of Camelback Road, east from 40th street to the Galleria.
CHALLENGE Increasing rentable square footage.
SOLUTION A glazed curtainwall was installed around the perimeter of the atrium in order to capture the original 10 foot wide
balcony walkways as rentable square footage.

research the costs

The Property Condition Assessment is a tool to aid a building owner through the identification of
existing conditions, opportunities and constraints relating to the property.
Once the existing conditions of the property are understood, the Reform® team can establish a
renovation scope with budgetary pricing in a menu format. The renovation scope is organized
in observation/recommendation bullet points with the corresponding estimated budget numbers
relating to the improvements. The scope can cover (but is not limited to) site improvements,
architectural renovations, interior architecture (including any ADA issues), graphics and signage,
and landscape architecture.
This approach allows the owner to implement all or some of the recommended improvements
based on his or her personal preference and cost/benefit analysis of each item.
Another likely scenario would be a phased implementation recommendations. Through a
phased improvement schedule, the building owner would focus on the items with the highest
return on investment in the initial stage and follow up with the least critical items in a future phase
(or phases).

reinvest for the future

Without a doubt, ‘green’ building is the future of real estate. Reform® is an inherently sustainable practice which reuses existing structures rather
than demolishing, disposing of and replacing them. To compete with LEED accredited and Energy Star rated properties, a successful renovation
should consider the implementation of sustainable systems to compliment the reuse aspect of the Reform® program.
• Are outdated systems wasting power and eating into the bottom line?
• How easily could the lighting systems be upgraded?
• Is there an opportunity to add a solar array to the rooftop?
• Are tax incentives or financing plans available for a solar applications?
• Will a ‘green’ building better position the property in the marketplace?
Reform® has LEED Accredited Professionals on staff who can help you answer some of these question and develop a plan that makes sense for
your property. More and more tenants are asking for sustainably built spaces. LEED certifying a building and/or achieving an Energy Star rating may
provide the marketing advantage an older structure needs to compete in today’s hyper-competitive leasing environment and could even give an
older property an advantage over a non-accredited building built just a year ago if sustainability is a key factor for a prospective tenant.
