Groundbreakings 
1. Westcore broke ground this month on a 720KSF, three-building industrial campus at 199th Avenue and Fairway Drive, Avondale. Westcore teamed with The Opus Group to serve as its development manager, as well as the design-build general contractor, and expects to complete the campus during the second quarter of next year. 
2. It took two sessions to officially break ground for an Exceptional Healthcare facility at the northwest corner of John Wayne Parkway and Honeycutt Avenue. The $20M private facility with a 24-hour emergency department is expected to be complete by late 2021. The prime contractor is BMH Builders of Dallas. 
3. America Development & Investment announced that construction has begun on the 51KSF Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital Phoenix.

The project is slated to open in late Q3 2021. 
Progress Reports 
4. Nikola Corporation is still on track to complete its Coolidge facility by the end of 2021. Site preparations began in August and last month, the company began awarding building subcontracts. By the end of November, Nikola expects the site work will include utilities and foundation prep, with construction beginning in December. 
5. Despite a “stop work immediately” letter January 8th, and a later dispute between an inspector and Amazon, problems were smoothed over for construction to resume on Amazon’s 800KSF robotics facility. The project at Yuma Road and South Bullard Avenue is on track for an expected completion next month.
