The Present: Recession, Bankruptcy, Blight

Mervyns files for bankruptcy and

shutters its stores in 2009, leaving a huge

vacancy.

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.
