We have spent more than 25 years developing a unique approach to facilitate the design and project management of commercial projects such as the one you are considering. It has been our privilege, during that time, to have participated in some of the top commercial projects throughout the Valley with a group of dedicated design professionals, contractors and clients.
Last year alone we participated in light industrial build to suit, office and tenant improvement projects totaling more than 1,000,000 square feet. Our recent experience ranges in size from 1,500 SF to 600,000 SF and includes all scales of industrial product from build to suit manufacturing and office/warehouse facilities to cross docked distribution. We are knowledgeable and experienced in the design and facilitation of the specialized requirements of projects such as yours.
Our firm is a proponent of the cost effective Design Build methodology of delivering projects. We are unique because we have successfully partnered with many contractors to deliver commercial projects that represent the highest level of achievement in cost control, scheduling, architect/contractor collaboration, and client satisfaction. We appreciate the trust created in this process, and know how to duplicate that experience for new clients and their projects. We are grateful for these opportunities and feel that these are experiences we can bring to your project as well.

Auto House
96,407 SF | Industrial | Tempe, Arizona
Auto House is a Tempe-based auto sales company with a unique sales proposition for its customers. They provide an indoor, climate controlled environment for their customers to purchase preowned vehicles as an enhanced, buying experience. The indoor 81,800 SF showroom is temperature-controlled to benefit the customers and staff as well as the automobiles. It is also impressive.
Attached to this fully enclosed, single-level garagestyle showroom is a two-story office structure which is a key component to the success of the project. The attached offices allow the sales staff and customers to look out over the the entire inventory from the sales offices. The office portion of the facility is 14,500 SF, and provides executive and sales offices along with space for support staff, conference rooms, and a two-story entry lobby.
The exterior of the building was designed with vertical bands to diminish the scale of horizontal volumes of this very large building. The office area is further reduced with a lower parapet height to moderate the bulk of the building to be in scale with the surrounding developments. A pedestrianscaled façade and entry are articulated by ribbon windows punctuated by the larger expanse of glass for the front entry lobby.

VJ Baseline
26,100 SF | Multi-Tenant Industrial | Gilbert, Arizona
VJ Baseline s a new multi-tenant light industrial building for lease in Gilbert, Arizona. The project features five suites for lease and is designed with ample parking and rear yard maneuvering for light assembly and industrial uses. Additionally, because the building also presents a prominent frontage on Baseline Road, it is ideal for showroom, retail, and office uses. The highlighted vertical piers and accent features on the facade and sign band also bring attention to the building.
Interestingly, the project overcame several municipal and planning challenges. While the property is inside the Gilbert city limits, Baseline Road is maintained and managed by Mesa. The project’s site and utility improvements needed approvals from both cities’ traffic engineering and utility departments. And the project’s site was “carved” out of a much larger parcel with existing site circulation and driveways that also needed to be accommodated.

FedEx Ground North
Deer Valley, Phoenix, Arizona
The deadline clock already was ticking when Scannell Properties hired LGE Design Build and Cawley Architects to design, engineer, permit and construct a 240,000-squarefoot north Phoenix facility for FedEx in less than 10 months. Adding to the challenge was that the major roadway to the site, Seventh Avenue, didn’t exist yet. LGE overcame both issues by fully constructing Seventh Avenue to the site and completing the building on time and on budget.
2008 Best Industrial Build to Suit of the Year
Legacy Window Coverings
Gilbert Arizona
Legacy Window Coverings requested a building design that would help convey their corporate image and provide a showroom with 24-hour customer access that is highly visible from the street. This was achieved with a prominent two-story glass feature at the building corner facing the intersection. The combination of a two-story glass wall framed within steel columns with metal awnings creates a strong corporate appearance and a visual landmark.
