Retail and restaurant choices off the I-17 & Dove Valley Road exit are about to get lively later this year.
The development, referred to as Pointe17, has signed lease agreements for all but only one remaining pad in Thompson Thrift’s commercial development off Dove Valley Road & 29th Avenue.
Chipotle is the latest tenant to sign a lease agreement with Phoenix Commercial Advisors for an open pad along Dove Valley Road, a representative from the brokerage firm told Valley Vibe. The last available pad is currently involved in lease negotiations with PCA, and if the agreement is inked, it could be occupied by a coffee chain new to the area.
Many of the spaces have been delivered to the tenants and are undergoing buildouts and improvements. The first completions are expected within the next handful of months and openings could come in mid-2025, according to both a spokesperson from PCA and Thompson Thrift.
“Leasing in the area has been extremely strong. We got a huge shot in the arm because of the TSMC [chip factory], and with the housing growth in the area it’s only going to continue to get stronger,” the PCA representative told Valley Vibe.
Here’s a look at the center’s lineup to date:
Foothills Grille, offering American cuisine including burgers and salads, and also entrees like steak and salmon. Restaurant owner John Foley said the menu will be similar to his other restaurant, Pinnacle Grille in Scottsdale. Foley also owns Vogue Bistro in Surprise.
Handel’s Ice Cream, a franchise that began in Youngstown, Ohio has been growing rapidly in Arizona. Handel’s ice cream is made fresh daily, following the traditions founder Alice Handel started in 1945. Cones, dishes, shakes, hurricanes, ice cream pops made from a list of 45 different flavors is what Handel’s is known for.
Oregano’s, the family-owned local pizza chain is opening a restaurant on a 4,000-square-foot pad, and was the first to sign a letter of intent to lease space back in 2022.
