ORION Investment Real Estate proudly announces that Michael Douglas, CCIM, Senior Vice President and lead of the ICRE Investment Team, has successfully negotiated an off-market lease on behalf of Thrive Autism Services at The Foothills Shops in Phoenix, Arizona. This marks Thrive’s fourth Valley location as part of their aggressive growth strategy throughout the state. Thrive Autism Services signed a lease for ±6,300 square feet at 4611 E Chandler Blvd in the high-traffic Ahwatukee Foothills corridor. The retail center—shadow-anchored by Kohl’s and surrounded by national brands like Starbucks and CVS—offered an ideal combination of visibility, accessibility, and community demographics.
This site was not publicly listed, and Michael Douglas was able to secure the location through direct negotiation—highlighting both his market expertise and proactive approach to tenant representation.
“Opportunities like this don’t sit on LoopNet,” said Michael Douglas. “By staying ahead of the market and working relationships behind the scenes, we were able to identify and secure a location that fits Thrive’s exact operational and demographic needs.”
Helping Thrive Autism Services secure this prominent location in the Foothills aligns with their mission to meet growing community needs,” said Michael Douglas. “It’s been a privilege to support their continued growth with strategic site selection that serves both operational goals and family convenience.”
The Phoenix lease comes off the heels of Thrive’s recent expansion into North Gilbert near Dana Park, as the organization continues to deliver high-quality therapy, behavioral health, and support services for children and families across the Valley.
