THE CAMELBACK CO-OPS

“An Adaptive Re-use Plan for the Mervyn’s”

Past Sears-Rhodes Center

1960’s – Sears & Roebuck

Sears-Rhodes Center

1980’s – 2009: Mervyns

Westcor acquires center, several renovations follow, and name changed to Colonnade Mall

Colonade Mall

Present: Recession, Bankruptcy,

Blight

Mervyns files for bankruptcy and

shutters its stores in 2009, leaving a huge

vacancy.

Camelback Colonade

Vacancy & Uncertainty

Potential & Hope, but what’s next?

The Future: A New Beginning

A new business plan and a fresh start to inject needed life into an aging strip mall.

No more “big box” chain retail in the space.

A communal business environment, subdivided, but with a common sense of both place and purpose within the community.

A space for both established and “start-up” businesses to collaborate, share ideas, and grow together.

Leasable sub-spaces with an eclectic and diverse mix of shopping, dining, and services.

Examples of Similar Local Spaces: 1.) “POOL Together” – Mesa, AZ

Unfortunately shuttered in February, 2011, but was never properly promoted and was sited at a poor location. Could be successful at Camelback Colonnade. Also a former Mervyns.

2.) “In Co+Hoots”

– Phoenix, AZ

A workspace for the creative class, comprised of local

independent artists, designers, writers, photographers, etc.

Spaces leasable long-term, or for as little as one day.

3.) “Kitchen Sink Studios”

– Phoenix, AZ

Another creative-class, cooperative workspace, much like “In Co+Hoots”, bringing together like-minded

individuals and businesses in the spirit of shared ideas and collaboration.
