Phoenix, Arizona  (Aug. 5, 2026) – CRE8 Advisors is pleased to announce its representation of the buyer in the $6,081,460 acquisition of a newly constructed 15,796-square-foot industrial building at 7320 E. Pecos Road in Mesa, Arizona, within the Pecos 17 Industrial Development. The seller and developer were Cavan Commercial.

The buyer, ADV Reline Service Inc, an underground pipe repair company, will utilize the new facility to support its operations and continued growth. The property features a modern industrial building with a secure and fenced yard, providing the space and functionality needed for the company’s equipment, vehicles, materials, and daily operations.

Located in Southeast Mesa near Pecos & Sossaman Roads, the closest major intersection; the property is positioned within one of the East Valley’s growing employment and industrial corridors. Mesa has grown significantly over the past several decades, and the Southeast Mesa area continues to attract new residential, commercial, and industrial investment. The property is also located within Mesa’s Pecos Advanced Manufacturing Zone, a major employment and industrial area benefiting from proximity to Loop 202 and Mesa Gateway Airport.

“Southeast Mesa has emerged as one of the region’s most dynamic growth areas, supported by major investments in technology, aerospace and advanced manufacturing, along with rapidly expanding residential communities,” said Jaye O’Donnell, City of Mesa Economic Development Director. “That combination of industry, talent, infrastructure and population growth is creating new opportunities for businesses and strengthening the area as a leading employment and innovation hub.

“This transaction is a great example of how strategic commercial real estate can support the operational needs and long-term growth of a business,” said Partner, Rommie Mojahed.  CRE8 Advisor Chad Shipley also stated. “We were pleased to help our client acquire a facility that provides both the functionality they need today and an opportunity to build for their underground pipe repair company.”

The acquisition reflects continued demand for quality industrial properties in Southeast Mesa as businesses seek ownership opportunities in strategically located high-growth areas of the East Valley.

“ColRich remains focused on aging, well positioned suburban apartments in in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that continue to grow, both in terms of jobs and overall population.
