In January, the company, which specializes in marketing and administrating limited benefits plans for entry-level employees, will take over a portion of the first and third floors plus the entire second floor in the 2222 W. Dunlap Rd. building.

Mark Bauer with CB Richard Ellis Inc.'s Phoenix office tells GlobeSt.com that the move was necessitated by the company's purchase in March of the privately held STAR HRG and STAR Administrative Services. STAR HRG's corporate and sales offices are presently located at 2036 E Camelback Rd. while the STAR Administrative Services' claims and call center is at 3326 W. Catalina Dr.

Bauer said the new location will allow the wholly owned subsidiary of UICI, to consolidate its offices at one location and give the company room for further expansion."It was a really nice fit for our client," he said, noting that the office space, which includes security and high-tech features, was vacated several months ago when American Express consolidated its operations.
