Cushman & Wakefield Arranges $24.3 Million Sale plus Leaseback of 114,907 SF Class A Industrial Building in Phoenix

Canadian investor acquires a single-tenant facility sold and occupied by American Refrigerator Supplies, Inc.  

PHOENIX, Ariz. – March 11, 2024 –  Cushman & Wakefield announced the firm has brokered the sale and leaseback of a 114,907-square-foot Class A industrial facility in Phoenix, Arizona. The current occupant, American Refrigerator Supplies, Inc. (ARS), sold the freestanding building to Canada-based MDC Realty Advisors (MDC) for $24.3 million. In conjunction with the disposition, ARS also signed a long-term leaseback for the entire facility.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Phil Haenel, Will Strong, Foster Bundy, and Katie Rapine of the firm’s private capital group represented the seller and the buyer in the transaction.

“2632 East Chambers Street is a premier industrial asset in the highly desired Sky Harbor submarket of Phoenix. The property is supported by a strong occupant and its leaseback intends to provide predictable, stable cash flow,” said Vice Chair Phil Haenel.

“There is virtually no land available in the Sky Harbor submarket to build comparable product and it is extremely difficult to recreate this building,” added Senior Associate Foster Bundy. “The property is located in the most infill pocket of Phoenix, which will help drive tenant demand and rent growth for years to come.”

2632 East Chambers Street is situated on ±7 acres and features modern design and functionality, with 28-foot clear height, 30,500 SF of office space, and immediate access to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, SR-143 and I-10 freeways. The property is also within a six-hour drive of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and is conveniently accessible to the major Mountain West markets.




CBRE Negotiates Sale of Sentio Apartments in North Phoenix for $108 Million

PHOENIX – March 11, 2024 – CBRE handled the sale of Sentio, a 325-unit, LEED® Silver, Class A multifamily community in North Phoenix. CBRE’s Asher Gunter, Matt Pesch, Sean Cunningham and Austin Groen represented Hines in the community sale. IDEAL Capital Group purchased Sentio for $108 million. Trevor Breaux, Troy Tegeler, Ryan Greer, and the CBRE Debt & Structured Finance team arranged the financing on behalf of the buyer.

Completed in 2023, Sentio features best-in-class amenities and large, open-concept floorplans with top-of-market unit interiors. Sentio’s design incorporates smart home technology, energy-efficient appliances, and window treatments, sustainable-focused overall construction, an elegant palette of high-end finishes, interconnected resident-centric amenity spaces, and thoughtfully planned walking paths that lead directly to adjacent retail.

“Hines’ signature design and development process created an exceptional, institutional-quality community ideally positioned for strong growth,” said Mr. Gunter, vice chairman at CBRE. Demand drivers in North Phoenix are booming. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) new facility has already hired nearly 2,000 people, and semiconductor support companies with large job requirements like Amkor are opening facilities in North Phoenix that will drive perpetual growth in the region.”

Sentio is less than four miles from TSMC’s $40 billion fabrication facility. The TSMC plant will create approximately 4,500 new, high-paying technology jobs. Amkor Technologies recently announced it will build a packaging facility several miles from Sentio, creating 2,000 more jobs.

“We are extremely bullish on the long-term economic outlook for Phoenix and TSMC’s presence in the submarket will continue to attract additional companies and create more jobs around the community,” said IDEAL managing director Kevin Conway. “The underlying economic fundamentals in Phoenix are among the best in the country with high population and job growth driving excellent demand for multifamily housing.”

According to research analyzed by CBRE, Metro Phoenix posted over 12,000 units of multifamily absorption in 2023, one of the top-performing absorption totals of all U.S. metros.

“This successful transaction is a testament to the diligence and professionalism of all parties involved,” said Hines Senior Managing Director Chris Anderson. “Working with IDEAL Capital Group and CBRE was a pleasure to close this transaction in a challenging economic environment.”

Clovis, Calif.-based IDEAL Capital Group is a private real estate investment firm specializing in acquiring and repositioning multifamily properties in the Western U.S. Sentio is the company’s fourth Phoenix acquisition since January 2023.
