A 50,000-square-foot professional-office project is nearing completion at Surprise's original town site, signaling further turnaround in what has long been the city's most economically depressed area.
The Surprise Crossroads Lake Offices are under construction near Bell Road and Smokey Drive and are scheduled to open by the end of the year.
The city's original town site is a square-mile area bounded by Bell, El Mirage, Greenway and Dysart roads that previously was plagued by subpar housing and shuttered buildings.
City incentives given to new businesses that move there, coupled with a handful of new building projects, continue to spur economic growth in the area.
Surprise Crossroads will house seven office condominiums for lease or purchase on a campus of about 5 acres. Individual units range in size from about 1,200 to 9,400 square feet.
The property sits across from the R.H. Johnson Boulevard entrance into Sun City West.
Other recent development projects at the original town site include Habitat for Humanity of the West Valley's Johnson Townhomes and LAZ Auto Rental & Sales, a family business based in Peoria.
Johnson Townhomes is a 48-unit complex slated to open this summer. LAZ Auto opened its second West Valley facility at the original town site last year.
