    In plain English this means 

'To the stars, through difficulties'.

Community Church of Joy represents the
mission of Cardon Development Group
to enrich the lives of individuals and the
community as a whole.

In partnership with Community Church of
Joy, CDG will develop approximately 80
acres in Glendale on the 101 Loop and
75th Avenue. Pursued by the church to
assist in this development venture, CDG
was asked to envision the most meaningful
use of the property while thoughtfully
advancing the church’s mission.

Community Church of Joy is expected to
include a compelling mix of commercial,
retail and housing-related developments,
with a projected start date slated for
summer of 2013. Upon completion,
Community Church of Joy will provide
a rich sense of place and connection,
reshaping vacant land into a vibrant site
designed to enhance the community with
warm neighborhood enrichments

Cardon Development Group States - "As a new community, Aspera will bring a mix of professional services, high-paying jobs, housing options, and retail uses that will serve and support the Arrowhead area. The uses within Aspera will be compatible with the existing church and school uses, residential developments, and surrounding properties as well. Through one of its wholly-owned entities (CDG Joy I, LLC), Cardon Development Group purchased the land in December 2013 and is committed to bringing Aspera to its full potential.
Aspera will be built out in multiple phases with the first phase estimated to start construction in 2014."

Some or the areas being developed  - 

Residences 

A local developer, P.B. Bell, with a proven track record of building high-quality, resort-like dwellings is constructing a multi-family community at Aspera. This luxurious community will be designed, constructed, and managed by one of Arizona’s best.

The Apartments at Aspera will provide:

• luxury units with numerous amenities.
• crime-free measures incorporated into the design and management of the community.
• a community of 285 residences with an estimated completion date of January 2017.
• a home for an estimated 50 elementary school age children.

Treasure House

Treasure House is a residential supervisory care facility that will serve the needs of high functioning individuals with developmental disabilities. Created by two respected local families, the Kurt Warner family and the Don Cardon family, this state-of-the-art, privately owned and operated facility is the first of its kind in Arizona.

Treasure House will offer:

• a first phase of 24-26 high-quality units for intellectually challenged young adults aged 20 and over. The full build out could include another equally sized phase two.
• amenities for the residents including training, cooking and social/recreational gathering areas.

Treasure House IS:

• privately funded, which means residents are selected based on established criteria.
• required that members meet behavioral standards and assimilate into the community, which is at the heart of the facility’s mission.

Treasure House IS NOT:

• a half-way house or a group home for substance abuse rehabilitation.

Banner Health Care

Banner Health Care will bring its latest design and model to the Aspera Banner Health Center. The center will deliver integrated health care services in an office setting by professionals within the Banner network. Completion is planned in phases, with the first phase estimated to start construction in 2015 and open in 2016.

Banner Medical IS:

• a medical office complex, NOT a hospital, a trauma center or an urgent care facility.
• a large assortment of doctor’s offices.
• scheduled to operate between the hours of approximately 7:00am and 7:00pm.

Banner Medical WILL NOT HAVE:

• helicopter access.
• ambulance service in the normal course of business.
• an emergency room.
• facilities for overnight care.

Senior Living 

The senior living parcel at Aspera is intended to be a “home like” environment for its senior residents. The mix of the senior living is yet to be established, but it

will likely include one or more of the following elements:

• Independent senior housing.
• Assisted living for seniors with full-time staff.
• Memory care for seniors in a safe and secure environment.

RETAIL

The retail portion of the community, Commercial Retail, will be designed to accommodate a variety of retailers, retail shops, restaurants and other uses that complement the surrounding area and are appropriate at the corner of an arterial street (75th Ave.) and a major freeway (Loop 101).

Commercial Retail:

• is designed to accommodate a variety of retailers, fitness club, retail shops, restaurants, and/or financial institutions.
• will include continuity of architectural elements and landscaping to give it a retail village feel with a pedestrian oriented design.

Commercial Retail will NOT include:

• inappropriate uses that are included on an extensive list of prohibited uses including billboard signs of any kind, gas stations, car washes, pawn shops, thrift stores, etc. See our list of Prohibited Use Items. 
•  http://asperaupdate.com/pdf/PROHIBITEDCUPUSES_2-28-14.pdf
• retailers larger than 75,000 square feet without a Special Use Permit from the City of Glendale.
• fast food restaurants (e.g., McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Jack-in-the-Box, Wendy’s, and the like) will not be permitted north of Aspera Blvd. (the new, main public east/west street into Aspera).

A few of the benefits that Aspera will bring to Glendale are:

• an economic impact after completion estimated at $137M per year.
• an estimated 1600 construction related jobs, in addition to the 1700 permanent jobs created as a result of this development.
• traffic improvements to both 75th Avenue and the L101 frontage road built BEFORE any buildings are constructed.
• traffic improvements that will help address current and future congestion.
• over $5 million in public improvements to 75th Avenue, L101, Aspera Boulevard, and 78th Avenue that are 100% paid for by the private developer and then donated to the City of Glendale.
• completion WITHOUT monetary contribution by the city for improvements at Aspera.
• a high quality community WITHOUT use of billboard signage.
