Phoenix, Arizona — ViaWest Group has completed construction on two spec industrial buildings located at the SWC of Willis Road and Hamilton in the Chandler Airport submarket, totaling 140,372-square-feet.

The two general industrial buildings, 65,892- and 74,480-square-feet, divisible to 13k-35k SF, feature 28-foot clear height, ESFR sprinklers, a mix of dock-high and grade doors, and a 180-foot shared concrete gated truck court. Each building has spec suites complete and are virtually move-in ready. This completes Phase II of the AZ 202 Commerce Park; Phase I, a build-to-suit for PODS® Moving and Storage, delivered in April of 2018.

Andy Markham, Mike Haenel, and Phil Haenel of Cushman & Wakefield are marketing the new buildings for lease, and ViaWest will handle property management.

“We are excited to see the completion of these Class A industrial buildings, which are strategically located within Chandler’s Airpark Area employment corridor,” stated Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke. “Our Economic Development team looks forward to working with ViaWest on attracting quality jobs to these new buildings.”

“The timing of this development is opportune. We are experiencing significant demand and expect to announce some new lease transactions very soon,” said Cushman & Wakefield Director, Phil Haenel.

The buildings are located just south of Willis Road east of Arizona Avenue and is less than half a mile from a full-diamond interchange on Santan 202 Freeway. The site features excellent freeway access, visibility from both the east and westbound 202, proximity to both executive and employee housing, and is in the core of the Southeast Valley employment area.

“It’s exciting to already see that robust tenant demand for these buildings. It’s always a pleasure working with a top-notch team of professionals to plan, design, and build state-of-the art buildings. It’s gratifying knowing we are creating places for great companies and people to work in Chandler – this is the ultimate reward,” said ViaWest Market Leader, Tom Glissmeyer.
