In this episode, we sit down with John Black, which is a synonymous name with Commercial Real Estate in Albuquerque, NM. We discuss John's history with taking his 1,000 plus acre ranch and developing it into one of the largest retail trade areas in the State of New Mexico. We discuss what he learned and experienced throughout the years and also how he feels about today's market. John F. Black has been in the real estate business for over 40 years. John specializes in vacant land entitlements, sales, and project development in the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho Metropolitan area. John originally developed a 1,150 acre planned community known as the Seven Bar Ranch and Cottonwood Mall 3.8 million square foot commercial trade area within the Seven Bar Ranch development and planned and zoned and annexed the 6,700 acres NW Bernalillo County Black Ranch property now referred to as the Quail Ranch in the City of Rio Rancho. As the former Managing Partner in the Seven Bar Land and Cattle Company which owned 1,150 acres in NW Albuquerque John planned, re-zoned, and developed and/or sold over 400 acres of commercial land in the Seven Bar Ranch project (Cottonwood Mall retail subarea of Albuquerque). This retail development area is the largest retail trade area in New Mexico containing over 3.8 million square foot commercial development today. The feature retail project in the Seven Bar Ranch Cottonwood subarea is the 95 acre 1.2 million square foot Cottonwood Regional Mall owned by the world's largest retail mall owner, the Simon Group. Other featured retail developments that are in this 3.8 million square foot retail trade area are the 41 acre Cottonwood Plaza and 60 acre Cottonwood Corners power center located within the Seven Bar Ranch on Albuquerque's Northwest metro area. John is also involved with many build-to-suit leases and ground leases in the Cottonwood Mall area. As the Managing Partner owner and developer, John was the principal partner responsible for developing and leasing the Corrales Shopping Center, Alameda West Shopping Center, and Las Tiendas Shopping Center in the Seven Bar Ranch project. John has been a partner and developer in several other major developments outside of the Seven Bar ranch. He developed the Promenade Shopping Center in Northeast Albuquerque, Montano Plaza, and Coors Central Shopping Center in Northwest Albuquerque. John is currently working on several new retail projects in the City of Rio Rancho and his remaining properties in the Cottonwood Mall subarea. John is a partner in two planning and development lease projects with the State Land Office of New Mexico. These properties are in the northern area of the City of Rio Rancho. City Centre project is a new urban downtown development in Downtown Rio Rancho. The 530 ace mixed-use Paseo Gateway project fronts on the new Paseo del Volcan west side freeway (the only new Metro freeway in Central New Mexico since the 1960s). Paseo Gateway features the new LEEDS certified Sue Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho and the new Cleveland Heights residential subdivision now under development and several key commercial land tracts in the City of Rio Rancho. John Black has served over 13 years on the Board Member of the Laguna Development Corporation which is a multi-million dollar company operating a hotel and casino, a supermarket, travel centers, restaurants, and over 1,100 employees in the west Metro area.
We heard they have some killer Black Friday deals going on this weekend at the Cottonwood Mall. We're definitely going to head to Tease 'N Keys first, wrap-around to the Game Peddler, then JMR, a bite to eat at Wayne's Mongolian BBQ, and then a stop at Tilt arcade on the way out. Sadly not this year or any other year can you now visit the Cottonwood Mall but it doesn't mean we can't all reminisce about it, right? Big thanks to the crew from Messin' with Mormons (CD, Chez, and Wade) for hosting us so we could all talk about the good old days of hanging out at the mall.
Good afternoon lax fans and thanks for spending time with the Utah Lax Report. This will be the last one for the year. I'll be back in your inbox in the new year! On another quick note, the audio from last week was cut short. Please make sure to listen to the FULL interview with PJ Martin as well! Interview w/ Niki Hardingc/o Westminster Athletics / ShootingStar PhotographyThe latest podcast (available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify or listen above) features an interview with local legend Niki Harding. Harding wears many hats in the lacrosse world. She was just promoted to director of Intermountain Lacrosse and is also the head coach for the Westminster Women's team. She's coached since graduating high school, where she coached Woods Cross to five championships. She's been part of the organizing body in the state, through its many names, since 2005. She's coached every level of lacrosse and I'm pretty sure her and I have been the only ones at every high school championship game (boys and girls) since 2011. News & NotesBrighton Girls: Haley Taylor committed to Oregon last week. She also found out that she is the Brighton Art Sterling Scholar. Wasatch LC Girls: The team traveled to its first tournament and went 0-4 in the Elite HS division at the Arizona Showdown.Utah Liberty Girls: The team went 4-0 at the 2020 Brine Ambassadors Cup in the Open division. Pinnacle Lacrosse Championships: A handful of Utahns were at the event over the weekend. West Coast Starz won the 22 and 23 bracket.

Terry Foy from Inside Lacrosse breaks it down on this podcast. Give it a listen, it's worth your time. Give ThanksThat's me in the center-left third in all black. Go Rams! If any of you know any of the players in this picture from Murray, I'd love to talk to them. Finally, I wanted to express my gratitude for the game, lifestyle and culture of lacrosse. It all began for me on a bench in the halls of Highland High School in the early Spring of 2000. Walker Bateman approached my friend group and asked one of them, Paul Jones, if he was going to play lacrosse in the Spring. Paul had an older brother who had played and Paul said he was going to. Several of my other friends said they were going to as well and asked me if I was going to. I said, sure! I went to Team Gear International in the basement of the Cottonwood Mall and bought a STX 6000 defense stick with a solid sidewall head.Flash forward to today and I've been involved with the game for 20 years! Lacrosse has taken me to several states and some very cool colleges: Denver, Air Force, UCLA, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal, Stanford, Virginia, Hofstra, Furman, Texas, SMU, BYU, UVU, Westminster, Utah, Utah State, UNLV, Boise State, Chapman, Colorado State, Colorado and Hartford. I've seen MLL and PLL games and have met thousands of fellow lacrosse fanatics. Those relationships with parents, players and fans are what I am most grateful for. Many of my best friends are because of lacrosse. It's a community that binds so let's make sure we take care of it by taking care of each other.Please send any questions or comments to tim@timhaslam.com. Don't be a jerk to refs and thanks again for reading. If you've made it this far, please forward to a lacrosse loving friend.- Tim Haslam This is a public episode.
