TESTIMONIALS
“As a fast-growing light manufacturing and
distribution company we needed more space at a better
rate. We settled on our present site in Peoria because
of its proximity to the Loop 101, the flexibility of the
developer to meet our needs, and the help of the City of
Peoria to make our transition very smooth and very
quick. We broke ground on April 1, 2001 and moved into
our 110,000 square foot facility 6 months later! Our
experience in Peoria has been very positive.”

“I have built five office projects in Peoria and am
currently working on several other developments. The
City is committed to finding the best ways to streamline
all of their services to make Peoria the best place to
live, work, and play. Simply put, I chose Peoria because
the City gets it.”

We chose to build in Peoria because the city provided us
the best combination of factors and locale to attract
customers from the entire west side of the Phoenix Metro
area. The Economic Development Department was highly
responsive to our needs and helped us make the project
feasible and buildable as the first solar-powered LEED
certified luxury car dealership in the United States. It
was only with their help facilitating and coordinating
city services that this complex
environmentally-sustainable project could be started and
completed within one year.

For nearly three decades, the City of Peoria and the
Plaza Companies have worked as partners to develop the
single largest health care community in Arizona, Plaza
del Rio. This 185-acre health care-focused community is
nearly built-out, and it would not have been possible
without the City’s commitment to health, wellness and
community development. The City truly views developers
as Community partners and actively engages their
projects providing valuable assistance with
infrastructure improvements and other vital services.
The Plaza Companies is extremely proud to call the City
of Peoria “home,” just as we have done for more than 26
years.
Peter Spier – Vice President of Development
