Sprawling Grove Development Takes Shape in Phoenix
With 2023 moving along quickly, Tempe, Ariz.-based Okland Construction eyes completion by year’s end of the Grove, the sprawling, multi-phased mixed-use complex taking final shape in the historic Arcadia community of Phoenix. The Okland-led team building the $400-million, 750,000-sq-ft project—which includes seven buildings of office and medical space, a sports training facility, residential above a parking garage, retail and restaurants—has endured all of the pandemic-era challenges of material and price disruptions, and then some, since the bulk of construction started in 2021.
RED Development, Phoenix, is the master developer, with Mesa, Ariz.-based WoodPatel providing master planning, civil engineering construction documents and construction management. The Grove’s first building to open, dating back to September 2020, was the 53,000-sq-ft Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury pro-sports training facility, built by the Phoenix office of AECOM Hunt Construction Group.
