Janez Group expanded into the Phoenix area in December 2006 with the
purchase of the Broadway Business Center for $16,150,000. Located on a 10.7
acre site, the 136,990 sf Center was built in 1974 and renovated in 1999.
Tenants at the fully leased flex-office park include the City of Phoenix and
corporate headquarters for Leslie’s Poolmart, Inc.
Janez acquired the two-building, multi-tenant property through an
affiliate, PCCP CS JANEZ Broadway LLC, in a joint venture with Pacific Coast
Capital Partners, of El Segundo, CA. The seller, Colrich Broadway Investors,
was represented by CB Richard Ellis investment brokers Glen Smigiel, Bob
Young and Joe Porter. Janez represented itself.
The Janez Acquisitions Team views the Broadway Business Center’s southeast
airport location as a promising investment opportunity with strong upside
potential.With employment in Phoenix outpacing the national average and a
vacancy rate of less than six percent, the area is considered the largest
back-office submarket in the city.
