Verde at Cooley Station in Gilbert broke ground on Tuesday, Nov. 19 to kick off the first phase of construction for the 23-acre project at the southwest corner of Williams Field and Recker Roads.
“Verde will be a gathering place for the community. In addition to offices, retail and restaurants, Verde will be loaded with unique wall graphics, large scale sculpture in public spaces, a children’s play area and a programmed performance venue hosting a myriad of events,” said Norman Brody, a managing member of SB2-VB, LLC, the developer of the project. The design of Verde at Cooley Station incorporates new and innovative building materials, systems, technology and architectural expressions.
“Citizens of Gilbert ages 8 to 80 can come together in Verde’s public spaces to enhance their lives by participating in community events, or enjoying events at our performance venue or dining at an array of restaurants, shopping at a variety of stores or just hanging out,” Brody said.
