A Phoenix Landmark Stuck in Limbo Gets a Lifeline: Kinella Capital, LLC Takes Control of One Camelback
After nearly five years in limbo and millions of dollars wrapped in a stalled redevelopment, One Camelback has a new owner and a new trajectory. Kinella Capital, LLC led by Founder and CEO TK Stratton, has officially taken over the prominent office-to-residential conversion at Central Avenue and Camelback Road. With the acquisition, Kinella has begun stabilizing the property and steering it back toward completion.
To many, the building had become a mystery admired from the street, rarely seen inside. Its soaring 150-foot atrium, floor-to-ceiling glass and sweeping eleventh-floor views were known mostly to architects, lenders and rumor. Dale Phillips, Founder of Stellar Residential, who advises on development strategy and lease-up, said most critics “never stepped foot inside,” making the reset all the more overdue.
Kinella Capital acquired the property from Acore Capital after a perfect storm of broader market factors created a temporary pause in its momentum, though the building itself remained structurally exceptional. With Post Road Group providing debt financing, the team now has the capital structure needed to bring the project back to life.
Originally launched in 2018 with a plan for 163 apartments and millions invested, the redevelopment encountered inflation pressures, pandemic delays and contractor disputes that slowed construction at roughly 80 percent completion. Acore Capital ultimately took the property back through a trustee sale largely a reflection of that challenging market window before Kinella stepped in to reset the project.
For Stratton, the appeal was obvious.
“When we evaluated One Camelback, we looked past the stalled construction and the history tied to it,” Stratton said. “We saw the building, the intersection and the neighborhood. This corner is a gateway to Uptown Phoenix. It needed a team who could take ownership of every detail design, construction, engineering, capital, operations and get it across the finish line.”
He added that the core issue was never the building itself. The design was strong; the capital markets weren’t. Rising interest rates made the final stretch uneconomical for the last owner. “It didn’t need a reinvention. It needed a rescue,” he said.
Kinella’s early move was to impose order. The firm’s builder-operator model backed by KB-1 contracting and A-1 engineering licenses allowed it to take control of construction rather than inherit a lineup of competing consultants.
“One Camelback needed a buyer who could assess everything from fire-life-safety systems to structural tie-ins,” Stratton said. “You can’t subcontract your way out of a distressed conversion. You need full alignment between owner, builder and operator. A stalled high-rise terrifies lenders. Uncertainty kills momentum. Kinella’s team knows how to eliminate that uncertainty.”
“He’s the guy you call when everybody else walks away,” Phillips added about Stratton and his team. “If a building is too far gone, TK is usually the only one who says, ‘Actually, we can fix this.’”
Key actions taken by Kinella Capital, LLC include:
- Assuming full ownership of the long-stalled project and immediately halting further decline.
- Deploying its builder-operator model to unravel years of permitting, construction and financial complications.
- Taking direct control of all remaining construction and engineering work, ensuring unified oversight and eliminating conflicting consultants.
- Restoring operational and financial stability to one of Uptown Phoenix’s most visible and strategically located corners.
- Leveraging integrated KB-1 contracting and A-1 engineering capabilities to correct outstanding issues, resolve technical challenges and accelerate the final phases of the build.
- Repositioning One Camelback as a leading case study in how distressed adaptive-reuse towers can be successfully rescued, reset and completed.
That alignment allowed a period of construction forensics a room-by-room assessment of electrical, mechanical and structural systems. By eliminating scope creep, settling design questions and finalizing the amenity program, Kinella charted a realistic path forward.
Key Players Behind the One Camelback Revival:
- Acore Capital – Current owner and seller of One Camelback after a perfect storm of market conditions paused the prior redevelopment.
- Post Road Group – Acquisition lender providing the debt financing for Kinella Capital.
- Cushman & Wakefield (Acquisition Advisors) – Steve Nicoluzakis and David Fogler negotiated and facilitated the sale on behalf of Kinella Capital.
- Cushman & Wakefield Capital Markets (Debt Advisors) – David Karson, Mitch Rothstein and Megan Schmitt structured and secured the project’s debt financing.
- Stellar Residential – Led by Dale Phillips, serving as property manager and strategic advisor; previously involved with the development under the former owner.
- City of Phoenix Building Department – Working closely with Kinella to reinstate permits and streamline approvals needed to complete the project.
Reimagining the Resident Experience
The refreshed vision leans into everything the site already offered: walkability, transit access, restaurants, retail and views. Plans include modern finishes, floor-to-ceiling glass, a rooftop pool, wellness and fitness amenities, secured parking and technology-forward conveniences. Stratton said Kinella’s experience restoring hundreds of properties helped bring clarity to a once-drifting project.
The building’s bones were always exceptional large floorplates, sweeping views, dramatic glass they simply needed a team with the discipline to finish what was already working. For Uptown Phoenix, the acquisition ends years of speculation around a partially finished landmark. Its completion will add high-quality housing in a submarket where demand remains strong.
“One Camelback isn’t just another building,” Phillips said. “It’s a landmark. The views, the glass, the location they’re irreplaceable. Under Kinella’s leadership, the building finally has the operator-builder it needed. The amenities, finishes and walkability line up exactly with what renters want.”
He added that the rooftop pool, wellness spaces and skyline views will set the tower apart. “Uptown renters want convenience, sophistication and a sense of place. This building hits all three.”
Stratton said One Camelback will influence Kinella’s future direction. “We plan to take on more adaptive reuse projects. When executed with discipline, office-to-residential conversions create value for investors and stability for communities. The builder-operator model isn’t optional anymore.”
On a personal note, he said the project embodies the firm’s ethos. “I’ve restored and renovated hundreds of properties, but this one matters. It matters to Phoenix and it matters to our team. It represents resilience, discipline and the belief that difficult projects are worth doing.”
He added that the timing is right. “Phoenix is full of opportunity. With the right team and structure, stalled or distressed projects can become some of the best deals in the market.”
Kinella will now finalize schedules, complete remaining work and prepare the tower for phased occupancy. Stratton and Phillips expect visible progress over the next 12 months.

Dr. Denise Joseph and Dr. Louis Joseph Elected Fellows of the Linnean Society of London
LONDON, UKElection places the Open Sea Institute’s founders in a scientific lineage that includes Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace
Election places the Open Sea Institute’s founders in a scientific lineage that includes Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace
LONDON, UK
Dr. Denise Joseph and Dr. Louis Joseph have been elected Fellows of the Linnean Society of London, the world’s oldest active biological and natural history society, whose historical membership includes Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, co-authors of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
Founded in 1788, the Linnean Society is internationally recognized for advancing the study of natural history, biology, and the life sciences. Election as a Fellow reflects a sustained contribution to scientific thought and interdisciplinary achievement.
The Josephs are the co-founders of the Open Sea Institute (OSI), the privately held international psychiatry and executive advisory practice serving a limited circle of senior leaders, investors, and principals within the global wealth community. Denise and Louis Joseph, recognized for their long-standing commitment to servant leadership, are known for the development and stewardship of proprietary psychotechnological methodologies, including OSI’s founder-originated OSI-type Portfolio Intervention Framework and Deep Trace Protocol. Alongside their clinical and advisory work, Drs. Joseph have pursued a long-standing research program on the dynamics of living systems under stress across diverse taxa.
“The challenges facing global leadership today are not only economic or political—they are neurological, psychological, and ecological,” said Denise Joseph. “Our work has focused on the belief that healing the world’s highest achievers creates downstream benefits for organizations, communities, and the planet itself. Dr. Joseph and I are truly honored and grateful to be recognized by this historic, scholarly community as we prepare to bring forth what we believe could potentially be groundbreaking theory on how complex living systems hold together under pressure, and what that tells us about health at every scale. At OSI, we study living systems for the public interest and the public good.”
Much of that research is carried out through the Open Sea Institute Research Initiative System (OSIRIS), a privately funded, independent scientific initiative led by Denise and Louis Joseph and headquartered in the Nantahala National Rain Forest of the American Blue Ridge Mountains. OSIRIS studies how living systems, from ecosystems to the human mind, conserve coordinated function when demands exceed capacity, simplifying under strain and rebuilding as conditions allow. The work spans both ecology and neuroscience, examining the relationship between human health and ecological systems, an emerging area of interest examining how psychological wellbeing, cognition, and environmental context inform one another.
“A forest under drought and a mind under pressure are solving the same problem: how to keep working when there is not enough to go around,” said Louis Joseph. “Both simplify, both defend something, and both hold on to the machinery for coming back. As dual Director of Clinical Psychotechnology and Theoretical and Translational Research, I built OSI’s research arm to take that literally rather than treat it as a metaphor.”
The Linnean Society has historically served as a forum where ideas at the intersection of biology, ecology, and natural history are examined and advanced. As Fellows, Denise Joseph and Louis Joseph join an international network of scientists and thought leaders committed to advancing knowledge across the life sciences.
About the Open Sea Institute
The Open Sea Institute (OSI) is a principals led international psychiatry and executive advisory practice serving a select group of senior leaders, founders, investors, and institutions. OSI’s work centers on advanced psychological optimization, leadership resilience under complexity, and cognitive-ecological and prosocial approaches to mental health and performance. The Institute maintains a long-horizon focus on cognitive sustainability and systemic impact through leadership-level intervention. OSI is home to OSIRIS, The Open Sea Institute Research Initiative System (OSIRIS), a privately funded, independent scientific initiative led by Drs. Louis and Denise Joseph. OSIRIS is headquartered in the Nantahala National Rainforest on the American Blue Ridge Mountain Range.

El Cajon Flock Camera Lawsuit: McKenzie Scott PC Investigating Private Claims on Behalf of El Cajon Drivers for Illegally Shared License Plate Data
El Cajon, CASan Diego civil rights and police misconduct law firm says anyone who drove through El Cajon in the past six months, including people who live, work, or shop there, may be entitled to a damages award under California’s license plate privacy law
San Diego civil rights and police misconduct law firm says anyone who drove through El Cajon in the past six months, including people who live, work, or shop there, may be entitled to a damages award under California’s license plate privacy law
El Cajon, CA
McKenzie Scott PC, a San Diego civil rights law firm known for holding government agencies accountable and successfully handling police misconduct cases, is investigating potential class action claims against the City of El Cajon and Flock Safety on behalf of drivers whose license plate data may have been illegally shared with law enforcement agencies outside California.
If you drove through El Cajon–whether you live, work, shop, attend school, or visit family there–you may be entitled to a damages award. The firm is offering free, confidential case reviews at (619) 794-0451 and through its El Cajon Flock Camera Lawsuit page.
The investigation follows a lawsuit filed on October 3, 2025, by California Attorney General Rob Bonta in San Diego County Superior Court. The Attorney General alleges that El Cajon shared data from its Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras with out-of-state law enforcement agencies, even after his office warned the City in writing that the practice violates state law. In January 2026, the Attorney General asked the court to immediately halt the sharing. El Cajon officials maintain the City is following the law, and the case remains pending.
According to local news reporting, El Cajon has about 100 Flock cameras installed throughout the city. Records from Flock’s own transparency portal show more than 600 agencies have access to El Cajon’s license plate data, including police departments in more than 20 states.
“Every time you drive down Main Street or Fletcher Parkway, a camera records where you were and when. California law says that information must stay in California, not shared with federal law enforcement, immigration authorities, or out-of-state police,” said San Diego civil rights attorney Tim Scott, founding partner of McKenzie Scott PC.
Who May Qualify for an El Cajon Flock Camera Claim?
Flock cameras run 24 hours a day and photograph every passing vehicle, recording the plate number, vehicle details, date, time, and location. Drivers receive no notice. McKenzie Scott PC especially wants to hear from:
- El Cajon residents who drive in the city, including neighborhoods such as Fletcher Hills and Granite Hills
- Commuters who work or attend school in El Cajon
- Shoppers and visitors who shop, dine, attend services, see doctors, or visit family in El Cajon
- Drivers on major El Cajon streets, including Main Street, Broadway, Fletcher Parkway, Magnolia Avenue, and Second Street
- East County residents of Santee, La Mesa, Lakeside, Rancho San Diego, and Alpine who drive through El Cajon
You do not need to know which Flock camera captured your vehicle, or prove your data was shared, before contacting the firm. Consultations are confidential, and anyone may speak with a lawyer regardless of background or immigration status.
What Does California Law Say About Flock License Plate Data?
California’s ALPR law, Civil Code sections 1798.90.5 through 1798.90.55 (originally enacted as SB 34 in 2015), allows public agencies to share license plate reader data only with other California public agencies. The law also gives people harmed by a violation the right to file a civil lawsuit. Under Civil Code section 1798.90.54, a court may award actual and liquidated damages, punitive damages for willful or reckless violations, attorney’s fees and costs, and orders requiring the unlawful practice to stop.
The Attorney General’s lawsuit asks the court to declare El Cajon’s data sharing via Flock camera unlawful and order it to stop. It does not seek compensation for individual residents or drivers. A private claim may seek money damages for the people whose data was shared.
Why Claims May Target Both the City of El Cajon and Flock Safety
The City of El Cajon operates the Flock cameras and, according to the Attorney General, continued sharing data with out-of-state agencies after repeated warnings. Flock Safety builds, hosts, and manages the camera network and the national data-sharing platform that makes out-of-state access possible. Holding both accountable may give affected drivers the best chance to stop the sharing and recover compensation.
Time Is Limited
Lawsuits and government claims are often governed by strict timelines and statutes of limitations. Drivers who wait could lose the right to recover. McKenzie Scott PC encourages anyone who drove through El Cajon in the past six months to call (619) 794-0451 or request a free case review as soon as possible.
A Civil Rights and Police Misconduct Firm That Sues the Government
McKenzie Scott PC represents people whose constitutional and civil rights have been violated by government agencies, law enforcement, and corporations. The firm’s civil rights, police misconduct, and jail injury practice has produced results against government entities that include:
- An $85 million civil rights verdict (at the time, the largest-ever police-involved wrongful death damages award)
- A $16 million in-custody jail death settlement, the largest wrongful-death settlement ever against San Diego County
- A $1 million police-shooting death settlement that was the largest payment of its kind in National City’s history
Founding partners Michele McKenzie and Tim Scott are Stanford Law School graduates backed by a full team of trial attorneys. Michele McKenzie spent nearly 20 years at Federal Defenders of San Diego. The firm’s attorneys have been selected to the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. Learn more about the firm’s featured cases and media coverage. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
El Cajon Flock Camera Lawsuit: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Flock camera class action lawsuit in El Cajon?
California’s Attorney General has sued the City of El Cajon over its sharing of Flock license plate data, and private class actions have been filed against Flock Safety in California. McKenzie Scott PC is investigating claims against both the City of El Cajon and Flock Safety on behalf of affected drivers.
Who is eligible to file a claim?
Anyone who drove a vehicle in El Cajon while its Flock cameras were active may be eligible, including residents, commuters, shoppers, and visitors. Drivers who used El Cajon roads in the past six months should act promptly because of short government claim deadlines.
What compensation may be available?
California Civil Code section 1798.90.54 allows a court to award actual and liquidated damages, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and court orders stopping unlawful data sharing. Every case is different, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
How much does it cost to talk to a lawyer?
Case reviews are free and confidential. McKenzie Scott PC charges no fees unless the firm recovers compensation for you. Call (619) 794-0451 or start your free case review online.
