Looking back on 2016 highlights and identifying some key areas of interest in 2017
2016 has been a great year for COBE Real Estate. We are thankful for those who contributed to a successful year, and hope for even better and brighter things from 2017. Here are some of our 2016 highlights and things that have us excited about 2017
Phoenix Warehouse District
The Warehouse District, located just south of downtown Phoenix, was once an economic hub where produce from Arizona’s farms was warehoused. Thanks to recent renovations in the area, it seems the Warehouse District will once again become a thriving area of Phoenix and home to a number of creative companies.
WebPT and Galvanize are among the list of new tenants in the area. The highly successful tech companies signed long term leases for a 122,000 SF building in December of 2015. COBE Real Estate broker TJ Zaharis, who represented the owner of the warehouse in the negotiations, sees the Grant Street Warehouse project as a catalyst for future investments and employment. “This announcement is a big win for the Warehouse District that has been years in the making – all the collaboration between the public and private sectors should be celebrated for truly being pioneers in this revitalization” stated Zaharis.
WebPT and Galvanize are expected to bring more than 800 new employees to the area as they complete the renovations on the Grant Warehouse space. The increase to the number of people in the area will then bring a larger demand for restaurants, coffee houses, and housing.

Agritopia
Agritiopia is a unique and growing fixture in Gilbert. A residential development with a working farm as its central feature, this agrihood is built on what used to be the Johnston family farm. Agritopia was designed to preserve urban agriculture, to be neighborly and walkable, to breakdown barriers between people and to be multi-use.
With the developments of Generations at Agritopia, Barnone, Epicenter, and The Shops at Agritopia Village South, Gilbert is set to see growth in commercial, retail and housing. We are excited to have this iconic community in our area and anticipate that it will continue to be a destination for locals and tourists alike.
