Orion Investment Real Estate represented SimonCRE in leasing the building to tenant Bush's Chicken, an Austin-based quick-service restaurant. SimonCRE is planning major renovations for Bush's Chicken's first Arizona location at 7111 E. Thomas Road, off Thomas and Scottsdale roads, formerly a Filiberto's Mexican Food, which is expected to open this summer. "This is a great redevelopment opportunity in a very active Scottsdale trade area," said Joshua Simon, president of SimonCRE. "And we’re excited to add a fresh, new tenant like Bush’s Chicken to the list of exciting restaurants and retailers in the area." SimonCRE was represented by Tim Gunnink and Andrew Harrison at [Orion Investment Real Estate](http://www.orionprop.com/). The seller was represented by Astria Realty. Tim Gunnink and Michael Achtman at Orion and SimonCRE secured the lease to Bush's Chicken. Lance Umble at [Phoenix Commercial Advisors](http://www.phoenixcommercialadvisors.com/) represented the tenant.   Featured in Phoenix Business Journal ([Original article](https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2017/01/09/simoncre-buys-scottsdale-property-for-1-5m-to-open.html)) [Redevelopment](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/topic/redevelopment) [Scottsdale](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/topic/scottsdale) [Acquisition](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/topic/acquisition) [Seller](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/topic/seller) [Tenant](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/topic/tenant) [Broker](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/topic/broker) [Buyer](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/topic/buyer) ### Related Posts Check out our latest news & views to help keep you informed May 28, 2026 [What the 60+ Acre 'Medina Station' Development..](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/what-the-60-acre-medina-station-development-will-bring-to-mesa) [read more](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/what-the-60-acre-medina-station-development-will-bring-to-mesa) May 28, 2026 [SimonCRE Snags 10-Acre West Valley Site for..](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/simoncre-snags-10-acre-west-valley-site-for-whole-foods-upscale-retail-center) [read more](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/simoncre-snags-10-acre-west-valley-site-for-whole-foods-upscale-retail-center) April 8, 2026 [SimonCRE Acquires 38 Acres to Develop..](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/simoncre-acquires-38-acres-to-develop-363000-square-foot-retail-center-in-albuquerque-new-mexico) [read more](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/simoncre-acquires-38-acres-to-develop-363000-square-foot-retail-center-in-albuquerque-new-mexico) April 8, 2026 [UNM finalizes agreement for Lobo Crossing,..](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/unm-finalizes-agreement-for-lobo-crossing-advancing-south-campus-vision) [read more](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/unm-finalizes-agreement-for-lobo-crossing-advancing-south-campus-vision) April 8, 2026 [Target officially set to anchor Lobo Crossing..](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/target-officially-set-to-anchor-lobo-crossing-project-in-southeast-albuquerque) [read more](https://blog.simoncre.com/news/target-officially-set-to-anchor-lobo-crossing-project-in-southeast-albuquerque) KEYWORD - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty.
