Show it expands, relocates headquarters to downtown Chandler, Arizona
PHOENIX, Ariz., October 2, 2025 – The Phoenix office of JLLhas signed a 30,257-square-foot lease that relocates and expands the corporate headquarters of technology company Showit to downtown Chandler, Arizona.
Founded in Santa Barbara, California, in 2006, Showit focuses on providing a no-code website building platform for creative entrepreneurs and website designers. With its new lease, the company joins the tenant roster at The Johnathan, a 107,510-square-foot, Class A creative office building located at 55 N. Arizona Place, in the heart of downtown Chandler.
JLL Vice President Kyle Seeger, Senior Managing Director Ryan Bartos and Executive Vice President Jami Savage-Gray represented Showit in its lease negotiations. JLL Senior Vice President Brett Thompson represented the building owner, Asana Partners.
“The Johnathan puts us in the center of a vibrant and walkable downtown, within a recently reimagined building that truly reflects who we are – innovative, collaborative and energized,” said Showit CEO and Founder Todd Watson. “We’re excited to begin our company’s next chapter in a setting that elevates our culture, attracts talent and inspires innovation.”
Extensively renovated in 2021, The Johnathan and sister building The Alexander offer shared tenant amenities including two training rooms, a tenant lounge, video greenroom, mother’s room, billiards room, library and on-site Kaleidoscope Juice café. It also features a fitness center with a yoga studio and meditation room, and outdoor spaces including a garden area, dog patio and gaming area with bocce ball.
The building is served by an adjacent parking garage and is surrounded by a highly walkable downtown area with expansive retail, dining and residential development.
“The Johnathan is uniquely qualified to support Showit’s focus on creativity and technology,” said Seeger. “It is premiere office space in a submarket with decreasing vacancies and limited new supply, and a growing list of tech and innovation companies that are choosing Chandler as home.”
The Johnathan is minutes from the Loop 202 freeway, linking the property to a deep local labor pool, expansive residential housing and both Sky Harbor and Mesa Gateway airports.
Showit is expected to move into its new offices in February 2026.
