Rivulon Development Update - South of Allen Ranch
Under construction currently is LA Fitness, and a 150,000 SF, 3-story office building for Isagenix, an Arizona based health and wellness leader. Construction for the Isagenix building is set for completion in late 2015, which is right around the corner when it comes to construction. Also currently under construction is a 4-story, 125,000 SF speculative office building located east of the Isagenix building on AZ 202, and two 60,000 SF, 2-story office buildings located on Rivulon Boulevard near the corner of Gilbert Rd and AZ 202, with anticipated completion in September 2015.
While most of the construction will take place on site, much like any development there will need to be some work on Gilbert Road and Pecos Road to extend the existing utility services onto the site and relocate the existing overhead electrical and communication services to underground conduits. As part of those improvements, Rivulon will add an additional lane and turn-in lane to the northbound side of Gilbert Road, complete improvements and rework of the existing Gilbert Road medians, and will add new walkways and landscaping along the east side of Gilbert Road. In addition, a traffic signal will be installed in Gilbert Road north of the 202 at the future Rivulon Boulevard to provide access for the development. Work will also take place in early 2015 to construct similar improvements on Pecos Road, between Gilbert and South Allen Avenue.
Construction on Gilbert Road will begin immediately and will be completed by February 2015. Gilbert Road will remain open for travel during this work, however, there may be some lane restrictions to accommodate the construction, primarily to widen the east side (northbound lanes) of Gilbert Road. The developers are working closely with the Town of Gilbert and City of Chandler to maintain traffic flow, complete the work as quickly as possible, and minimize impact on local businesses.
