“You can’t be late until you show up.”
Mar 22, 2013, 3:07pm MST Hayley RingleReporter- Phoenix Business Journal
Phoenix public relations agency owner Stacey Dillon said Phoenix’s new Sky Train will be a “relief” for her frequent travels to the San Francisco Bay Area.
She travels two to three times a month, choosing either Phoenix Sky Harbor International or Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport. The biggest factor is the price.
With the free PHX Sky Train, which will begin its around-the-clock service at noon April 8, Dillon said she’ll be able to hop onto the light rail near her Chandler home to get to the Phoenix airport.
“This will definitely be a game-changer for me between the two airports,” said Dillon, owner of Public Safety Authority Media, a PR company that works for police associations. “One of the things I factor into booking my flights is the taxi ride cost. When the Sky Train is available, I will definitely use it and have more of my flights out of Sky Harbor.”
The Sky Train will provide a “seamless” connection for Phoenix Sky Harbor passengers between Terminal 4, the East Economy parking area and the Metro light rail station at 44th Street and Washington, according to a release.
Travelers can pick up the train every three to four minutes from Terminal 4’s level three, near the gates and security checkpoints. Terminal 4 serves 80 percent of Sky Harbor’s travelers.
It’s a two-minute ride to the east economy parking area, and a five-minute ride to the 44th Street light rail station.
“This is an exciting day for the city of Phoenix and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport,” said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton in a statement. “The PHX Sky Train’s connection to light rail paves the way for convenient, multimodal transportation to and from the airport and is a true point of pride for our city.”
The PHX Sky Train, which is electrically powered and automated, will run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
“We are especially proud that the environmentally friendly project has achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council,” Phoenix Aviation Director Danny Murphy said in a prepared statement.
Final preparations are under way for the opening, including sign changes, fence removals and traffic signals.
Along with the Sky Train opening, other perks will provide travelers more convenience.
The 44th Street station will offer early baggage check starting April 8, giving Southwest Airlines and US Airways passengers an opportunity to check their bags at no additional cost. This station will also feature a cellphone waiting lot for those picking up passengers.
Light rail tickets can also be purchased at this station.
The Sky Train is expected to extend to Terminal 3, with a walkway to Terminal 2, by early 2015. The Sky Train is also planned to travel to the rental care center in the final construction phase.
“This project is a significant milestone in Sky Harbor’s growth,” City Manager David Cavazos said in a prepared statement. “It will make traveling easier by relieving the roadways of congestion and will further connect our community with sustainable transportation options.”

I am a successful Commercial Investment Real Estate Broker in Arizona now for 15 years and I worked with banks and their commercial REO properties for 3 years. I am also a commercial and Landspecialist in Phoenix and a Landspecialist in Arizona.
1.
WHETHER YOU LEASE OR OWN
NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO EXPAND, UPGRADE OR INVEST.
In my opinion we are at bottom of the cycle in Commercial Real Estate in Phoenix, so there is only one way and it’s called we are going up again and now is the time for you to expand, upgrade or invest in Commercial Properties in Phoenix. The prices on deals I may get you will not be around forever.
2.
IF YOU OR ANYBODY YOU KNOW IS IN TROUBLE WITH YOUR BUSINESS, AS MANY AMERICANS ARE IN THE MOMENT, AND ARE ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, PLEASE CONTACT ME. IF YOUR BANK IS BEHAVING BADLY I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU GET OUT OF SOME OR MAYBE A LOT OF FUTURE HEADACHES.
3.
WAITING TO SELL YOUR LAND ? TIMES CHANGE / IT’S TIME
We barely could give land away the last few years, but times are changing. Even in those meager years, I sold more land across the state than most other brokers. Before the real estate crash I was a land specialist in Arizona with millions of dollars of transactions, but then I had to change and also sell other commercial investment properties, which was fun, but I am a Commercial Landspecialist in Arizonal, a Commercial Land Specialist in Phoenix and love to sell land, one acre to thousands of acres.
Since I was a Land Specialist in Arizona and a Land Speciaost in Phoenix many of my clients, Sellers and Buyers remember me and now they are calling me again, so this is the time to get back into land and none of my clients, including future clients, will miss out on getting their best deal.
Also, if you are up-side down on your land, like many Americans, and the lender is giving you a hard time, now is the time to put your land on the market. Lenders are making deals now with short sales. I have been working with banks for many years – I learned how to work with them.
If you have any questions about the 1 to 3 above, about Commercial Investment Properties in Phoenix or Commercial Investment Properties in Arizona, I will gladly sit down with you and share my expertise and my professional opinion in Commercial Properties in Phoenix or Commercial Properties in Arizona with you.Obviously I am also in this to make money, but it could be a win-win situation for all of us.
