The new location features Venezia’s illuminated sign and kiosk ordering system. Other amenities include a spacious patio for outdoor dining, a firepit, eight flat-screen TVs and a large community style table.
Venezia’s is hiring all positions for the new location including cooks, cashiers and delivery drivers. The chain also offers a management training program.

Salem, Oregon-based Link Senior Development and San Francisco-based The Roxborough Group LLC paid $45 million for the 301-unit Park Terrace Senior Living community in Phoenix.
Seller in the deal was an entity tracing to Homan Zarghampour, according to Tempe-based Vizzda LLC real estate database.
Formerly an Embassy Suites Hotel, the senior living community at 2577 W. Greenway Road was nearly 80% occupied when the deal closed on April 29.
Built in 1986, the 301-unit independent and assisted living community sits on 15.3-acres, where the new owners plan to invest more than $3 million to upgrade the facility.
While this is Link’s eighth senior living project in Arizona and third under management, this is Roxborough’s debut into the senior housing market and its fourth investment in the Phoenix area.
JLL worked on behalf of Link to secure debt and equity partners.
In an unrelated deal, Scottsdale-based TerraLane Communities has sold two of its build-to-rent communities for $185.89 million to Oak Brook, Illinois-based Inland Real Estate Acquisitions.
Northmarq’s Phoenix-based investment sales team of Trevor Koskovich, Bill Hahn, Jesse Hudson, and Ryan Boyle, brokered the $119.7 million sale of TerraLane at Canyon Trails in Goodyear and the $66.2 million sale of TerraLane at South Mountain in Phoenix.
TerraLane built both the 263-unit TerraLane at Canyon Trails at 195 N. 173rd Ave. in Goodyear and the 148-unit TerraLane at South Mountain at 8448 S. 59th Ave. in Phoenix last year.
Steve La Terra, a former real estate analyst, launched TerraLane Communities in 2021, with plans to build more than 1,100 upscale luxury single-family rental homes in metro Phoenix by 2023.
The developer currently has more than 1,100 upscale rental homes across five communities in metro Phoenix either completed or under development.
He’s now looking beyond metro Phoenix into select Sun Belt markets that offer strong economic fundamentals.
After paying $14.2 million for a 100-unit garden apartment community in Phoenix in April 2021, Scottsdale-based Rise48 Equity LLC sold it for $21 million to Summit on Thomas LLC, a private investment company in Millbrae, California.
During its brief ownership, Rise48 Equity had renovated about 41% of the units at Rise on Thomas, at 2735 E. Thomas Road.
“We achieved an average of a $200 rent increase through renovations,” said Zach Haptonstall, CEO and co-founder of Rise48 Equity.
Built in 1969, the property was 91% occupied when the deal closed on June 17, selling for $210,000 a unit, up from $142,000 a unit when he bought it in April 2021, Haptonstall said.
Northmarq Phoenix’s Investment Sales team of Trevor Koskovich, Bill Hahn, Jesse Hudson, and Ryan Boyle brokered the deal.
Rise48 Equity currently has $1.06 million in multifamily assets under management in metro Phoenix. It is starting its own construction firm to handle all its renovation projects, following the creation of its own property management firm last fall.
