PHOENIX, AZ, Jan. 22, 2015 – Officials from Harvard
Investments, Lincoln Property Company (LPC), the City of Mesa and anchor tenant
American Traffic Solutions (ATS) were on hand yesterday for the groundbreaking
of Waypoint, a two-building, 258-square-foot Class A office campus in
Mesa, Ariz., that is nearly 50 percent pre-leased to ATS.
ATS, a leader in road safety and toll management, will
relocate more than 600 workers to fully occupy Waypoint’s 108,000-square-foot
Building One.
A 152,000-square-foot Building Two will accommodate single-
and multiple-occupancy users. Completion of Building One is scheduled for late
2015, at which time ATS will officially move its headquarters operations into
the two-story accommodations.
Waypoint sits on a prime 19.55 acres along the Loop 202
freeway, adjacent to the 1.3 million-square-foot Mesa Riverview mixed-use
project and less than one mile from the Loop 101, the new Cubs Spring Training
Facility and the newly reconfigured Riverview Park.

“Waypoint will be an excellent addition to the Riverview
employment district,” said Mesa Mayor John Giles. “It is a great
location next to two busy freeways, shopping center and parks. I look forward
to welcoming more projects like Waypoint to Mesa.”
“This is an exciting time to build in the Southeast Valley
and ATS is a wonderful client to build for,” added Craig Krumwiede,
President of Harvard Investments. “We’re excited to bring their new home to fruition
– a truly dynamic place to work within a very high energy, high amenity
environment.”
“Waypoint sits in a buzzing, contemporary office corridor
that continues to earn great demand from both employers and employees,” said
Lincoln Property Company’s Executive Vice President David Krumwiede.
“People want to be here, and that has allowed us to break
ground on one building that is already 100 percent leased, and a second
building that will soon round out this very valuable infill site.”

Just six miles east of Phoenix Sky Harbor International
Airport, Waypoint is conveniently accessed via Loop 101 at Rio Salado Parkway,
and the Loop 202 at Dobson and Alma School roads.
It is directly east of Mesa
Riverview, a retail, hospitality and entertainment complex.
It is also less
than one mile from the new Cubs Spring Training Facility and the new Riverview
Park, and within a few minutes’ drive to Arizona State University.
When completed, Waypoint will join an existing Hyatt Place
Hotel, two existing, two-story office buildings and a 180-room, upscale brand
Sheraton Hotel that is under construction now and scheduled to open in March
2015. The hospitality site amenities will include full-service restaurants,
bars, swimming pool, fitness facility and more than 30,000 square feet of
meeting and event space.

“This facility offers all of the things we looked for when
choosing where to place our headquarters,” said James Tuton, CEO of
American Traffic Solutions.
“The opportunity to have a state-of-the-art
facility built to our specifications, along with the easy access to major
highways and the variety of restaurants, hotels and other shops, made this the
perfect location for our new headquarters.”
“I’m thrilled to see the continued development of Riverview
with the new Waypoint development,” said Mesa District 1 Councilmember Dave
Richins. “I am pleased to welcome new corporate partners and employers to
Mesa.”

Phoenix office of CBRE, lead the project’s marketing and leasing efforts.
