State Unemployment Sits at 8.7%; Construction Remains Virtually Flat

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for Source: Source: in January was 8.7%. The unemployment rate AZ Dept of for December 2011 was revised upward from 8.7% to Administration 9.0%. As a consequence of the annual benchmarking process, unemployment rates for prior months were also revised. See pages 4 and 5 for details on this year’s annual benchmarking. The U.S. unemployment rate in January fell two‐tenths of a percent from 8.5% in December to 8.3% in January. Over‐the‐month job losses are typical in January. Arizona lost 34,300 or ‐1.4% of the Nonfarm jobs in January. Leaner hiring in the fourth quarter was a contributing factor for lower than average seasonal losses in January. The recent tenyear average (2002‐ 2011) was a loss of 59,700 Nonfarm jobs or ‐2.4%. The pre‐recession ten‐year average (1996‐2007) was ‐2.4% or a loss of 55,500 jobs. Jobs were lost in both the Private Sector (‐27,000) and Government (‐7,300). The majority of the losses in the Private Sector were seasonal. Retail Trade (‐ 8,700) and Employment Services industries (‐6,500) lost the most jobs, reflecting typical staff reductions after the holiday shopping season. Construction lost 100 jobs or ‐0.1% well below the average (‐5,700 or ‐3.3%). The Construction Sector has significantly reduced the size of its workforce over the last few years and companies now tend to have much leaner staffing levels.

However, nearly all maintenance projects for the district have been put on hold for the past three years. The list includes tasks like painting buildings, replacing carpet, resealing roofs and repairing parking lots. Dysart currently has no budget for capital projects. So far, the district has postponed repairs and used money from renting out its facilities to repaint some buildings. In addition, Dysart is over its bonding capacity by about $50 million -- the result of declining property values in Surprise and El Mirage -- and cannot issue new bonds to cover capital projects until their debts are either paid off below its limit or until the state Legislature raises the statutory limit. Dysart is not alone.

The general amount that has been discussed is $250 million, but an exact figure has not been determined. Sixty percent of a $250 million bond -- about $165 million -- would go to new construction and repairs and remodeling of existing buildings. The district has about $1.9 million remaining from a bond approved by voters in 2005. But that money will be spent on two major projects: demolishing 60-year-old Mesa Junior High, which will close at the end of the school year, and remodeling half-empty Brimhall Junior High, built in 1992, into a Franklin basics school. The district, with its 64,000 students and annual operating budget of $572 million, is in better shape than many smaller districts: It had the funds to keep 103 skilled tradesmen, from plumbers to electricians to HVAC specialists, and four licensed construction inspectors on its staff to repair much of what breaks. "I have talented guys who can do things for just the cost of materials," said Mesa schools construction director Dennis Gearhart, who ran a contracting company for 14 years before joining Mesa schools.

7 Friday, March 9, 2012 Developer’s Corner

Welcome to the newest section of AZBEX! This is a pilot program which we’ll include for the next three months as a way to test out our ability to provide the best information to new markets. Here are our hopes for this section: 1. We’re creating this separate section to be ’given away’ to private developers at no charge. Only these pages are complimentary (4 pages to be sent as separate attachment). The bulk of the content is protected by copyright and is NOT to be shared or forwarded. Period! 2. Encourage the developers you work with to request this special section direct from Rebekah (480-709-4190 or by e- mail: [email protected]). Again, it is against copyright to forward anyone the entire 40+pg AZBEX publication. 3. We hope to build relationships with the development community much the same way we have with the A/E/C side: we provide great information, they take our calls & return our e-mails (pretty simple, huh!). Ultimately, we want better leads on private work for you, our valued subscribers, and we’re willing to go the distance to get them. We welcome and encourage your feedback on this new venture —please do not hesitate to let us know if you see an area for improvement. It is our intent to keep the developer information included in the core AZBEX publication for the foreseeable future—this is really good stuff for the A/E/C side too! -Rebekah Morris, Publisher

Phoenix Land Prices Bottoming Out

During the commercial real By Amy Wolff estate buying frenzy of 2005 Sorter for GlobeSt Sorter for GlobeSt -2006, everything was overpriced, from assets to land. As can be expected, when the housing market collapsed, so did prices on just about everything else in the Phoenix area – including land. But that trend may be reversing itself. According to Colliers International’s Second Half 2011 Land Photo Credit: Phxxcommal.com Research & Forecast Report for metro Phoenix, the An example of an empty urban infill lot that is in high demand in today's market median price for all land parcels sold in the metro area was at $1.12 per square foot. However, during the second half of 2011, the median prices ticked up to $1.38 per square foot, with prices for specifically zoned uses even higher. O’Neil says the pricing is also indicative of another trend; namely commercial developers who are working on land acquisitions so they’ll be in a position of strength when the economy begins its recovery. O’Neil issues a couple of caveats, however – buyers aren’t willy-nilly snapping up land throughout the metro region. What seems to be getting the interest at this point is infill and well-located property. Furthermore, don’t look for prices to hit the 2005-2006 peak anytime soon. “Right now, we’re down about 75% from where we were at the peak,” O’Neil says. Read more at: Globe St

Midwestern to Invest $90M in Veterinarian School

Sources: In 2014, Midwestern University will open Arizona's first veterinary school. AZCentral, Phoenix Midwestern will spend $90million to build an academic Business Journal center as well as clinics for large and small animals on its Glendale campus at 59th Avenue and Utopia Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2013. Three buildings will be built on the Glendale campus, including a 50,000-square-foot academic facility, a 25,000-square- foot large animals facility and a 50,000-square-foot small animal clinic. Arizona has a shortage of veterinarians, especially in Greenlee, La Paz and Yuma counties, which have no veterinarians currently in practice. National statistics show one veterinarian per 3,500 animals. But in Arizona, this ratio drops to one veterinarian per 4,100 animals. Veterinary students can do undergraduate work at the University of Arizona, but they need to go out of state to finish their training. The nearest schools of veterinary medicine are in Colorado and California. The same team that has designed and built Midwestern’s projects over the past 17 years will build this project, Goeppinger said. The architect is DWL Architects+ Planners Inc. and the builder is Chanen Construction Co. Inc., both based in Phoenix. The permitting process with the city has begun.

Austin Bridge & Road to Close Phoenix Office, Exit Southwest Market

By Scott Blair for While the Southwest region is showing encouraging signs of recovery from the recession, and some companies are starting to increase staffing, it’s a poignant reminder that things are still not back to normal when a contractor with a ENRSouthwest major Arizona presence withdraws from the region.

That’s exactly what happened this week with Austin Bridge & Road, which announced it will close its Phoenix office this summer once existing contract work has been completed. “This is a downsizing move and is not an indication of Austin’s overall financial health, which is still very strong,” says Tim Muller, southwest regional manager for the Austin, Texas-headquartered company. “Our sister company, Austin Commercial, will remain here with its strong presence in the Southwest market.” Austin crews are currently finishing up a $6-million design-build project for the FHWA on a control road between highways 87 and 260, and a $6- to $7-million roadway into the Twin Arrows Navajo Resort & Casino that is currently under construction in Flagstaff, Ariz.
