PHOENIX (April 8, 2026) -- National design-build firm ARCO has completed construction on a 69,857-square-foot renovation project for WareSpace, delivering a modern micro-bay industrial and co-warehousing facility tailored to the needs of small and mid-sized businesses in the Phoenix metro area.
Designed for a range of users, including e-commerce, fulfillment, contracting, light manufacturing, creative studios, and more, the space addresses a significant gap in the industrial real estate market by offering small warehouse spaces with short-term leases and a single monthly payment.
Situated at 9801 S. 51st Street, the newly finished facility offers convenient access to I-10 and is within a short drive of downtown Phoenix. The project introduces a highly functional, flexible industrial solution in the Southeast Valley, an area experiencing strong demand from growing businesses seeking efficient space without long-term constraints.
The redevelopment involved converting a former call center and office building into a purpose-built co-warehousing environment. The completed facility offers individual units ranging from approximately 200-2,000+ square feet.
“This project highlights the strength of adaptive reuse when paired with a clear vision and collaborative execution,” said Tom Strickland, Vice President at ARCO. “Our team was proud to work alongside WareSpace to reposition this asset into a high-quality industrial environment that supports local business growth and brings new purpose to the property.”
Tenants benefit from WareSpace’s fully integrated platform, which includes shared loading infrastructure, warehouse equipment, racking systems, climate-controlled work areas, and built-in connectivity. The facility is designed to provide a seamless occupancy experience, allowing businesses to move in and operate with minimal setup.
With this latest delivery, WareSpace continues to grow its presence nationwide. The company remains focused on identifying underperforming assets and transforming them into productive environments that serve the evolving needs of today’s entrepreneurial and small business community.
