Financing secured for 172,244-square-foot Tailwinds at Gateway facility
PHOENIX, (Nov. 14, 2025) – JLL Capital Markets announced today it has arranged $31 million in acquisition financing for Tailwinds at Gateway, a 172,244-square-foot Class A industrial facility located in Mesa, Arizona.
JLL represented the borrower, McCarthy Cook & Co., to secure a balance sheet loan through a money center bank.
The newly constructed facility, completed in 2023, spans 14.03 acres at 8017-8121 East Pecos Road in the Mesa Gateway submarket. The property comprises 10 buildings housing 24 tenants across unit sizes ranging from 2,286 square feet to 27,833 square feet, with an average suite size of 6,625 square feet.
Tailwinds at Gateway features best-in-class amenities, including 22-foot clear heights, 48 grade-level doors, nine dock-high doors, and 345 parking spaces. All warehouse spaces are fully air-conditioned, with secure truck courts and convenient access via East Pecos Road and South 80th Street.
The development achieved full occupancy within 24 months of construction completion. The property's diverse tenant roster includes nationally and internationally recognized tenants spanning logistics, manufacturing, and security technology sectors.
The Southeast Valley submarket has emerged as a national leader for semiconductor, aerospace and defense, electric vehicle and solar manufacturing industries. The region's proximity to Arizona State University, skilled labor availability and business-friendly environment have attracted diverse industrial users seeking modern, well-amenitized space.
The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Director Jason Carlos, along with Analysts Nick Englhard and Lilley Kroll.
“The rapid lease-up and successful financing of Tailwinds at Gateway reflects both the strength of Phoenix's small bay industrial fundamentals and the growing institutional appetite for stabilized, income-producing assets even with perceptions around supply-concerns in certain markets,” said Carlos. “With most small bay industrial groundbreakings effectively halted due to elevated development costs, existing Class A properties like Tailwinds are increasingly scarce and valuable.”
