JLL leading renewal of Salvation Army Regional Headquarters in Phoenix
The Salvation Army is planning a redevelopment of its Herberger Campus in Phoenix. A new social service and administration campus, with two new buildings and a renovated warehouse, will replace 160,000 sf of space, thereby reducing operating and maintenance costs by as much as $1.1 million per year. The plans include a 40,000-sf headquarters and a 30,000-sf social services building on the current campus, as well as six acres of land that the Salvation Army plans to develop with either a public-public or public-private partnership. Jones Lang LaSalle will provide real estate advisory and development management services, Phoenix-based Deutsch Architecture Group will serve as project architect, and Nitti Graycor, Tempe, Ariz., will be the contractor.
