PHOENIX, Ariz. (Oct. 9, 2026)  – Wespac Construction announced the promotion of Tyler Mark from Vice President to Chief Operating Officer, recognizing his 22 years of leadership, operational expertise, and commitment to the company’s growth across Arizona.

Mark will serve as a strategic and operational partner to the CEO, overseeing the day-to-day execution of Wespac’s construction operations. He will focus on optimizing project delivery workflows, strengthening supply chain and subcontractor relationships, implementing robust project controls, and scaling the company’s internal operational infrastructure.

His leadership will help ensure Wespac’s more than $500 million portfolio is delivered safely, on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Mark has played a pivotal role in developing and managing Wespac’s Northern Arizona office in Flagstaff, helping build the region’s presence and reputation following the economic challenges of the Great Recession.

“Developing our Northern Arizona branch into what it is today has been a long and winding road, but I am extremely proud of who we are as a company and what we have accomplished together,” Mark said. “Affordable housing is something I’ve worked on directly, not just talked about.

“Through my work with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona, I was part of a three-person team that created the pilot starter-home program, and our team has been a major part of the Habitat starter-home program that has evolved since 2017, including the first 10 homes dedicated in 2025,” Mark said.

Mark’s passion for affordable housing and community service extends beyond his professional responsibilities. He has served on the board of Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona since 2011 and currently serves as board president. He also serves on the boards of the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Arizona University Industry Advisory Board, where he mentors construction management students.

His past leadership roles include serving as president of the Northern Arizona Builders Association and as a board member for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flagstaff.

“Tyler exemplifies the leadership, integrity and commitment to excellence that define Wespac Construction,” said Glenn Leier, Wespac Vice President of Client Strategy & Vision. “Over the past 22 years, he has helped shape our company’s culture, expanded our presence in Northern Arizona, and delivered outstanding results for our clients and partners. His operational expertise, strategic vision and deep commitment to our people make him the ideal leader to help guide Wespac through its next chapter of growth.”

A Phoenix native, Mark earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management from Arizona State University, graduating magna cum laude. Active in the construction industry since 1998, he has led large commercial and multifamily developments, higher education housing projects, hospitality developments, tenant improvements and high-end office projects. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with project owners as a trusted advisor and project principal.

Outside of work, Mark enjoys spending time with his two children, golfing, hiking and exploring Arizona’s outdoors.

PIMA COUNTY (Oct. 9, 2026) — The Arizona Fall League, returning to Tucson on Oct. 10 for the first time since 2002, will feature four Major League Baseball prospects with local ties.

The doubleheader at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium will include four of the six teams in the Phoenix-area league, which showcases top prospects from all 30 Major League Baseball organizations.

Tickets are available now for both games. Kids 10 and under receive free admission with a ticketed adult.

  • 12:30 p.m. — Peoria Javelinas vs. Mesa Solar Sox
  • 3:30 p.m. — Scottsdale Scorpions vs. Salt River Rafters

Each of the four Arizona Fall League (AFL) teams includes a prospect with local ties:

  • Infielder Demetrio Crisantes (Rafters) – The Nogales High School graduate is the Arizona Diamondbacks’ No. 1 prospect and No. 84 overall, according to MLB.com.
  • Infielder Cade McGee (Javelinas) – Born in Tucson, McGee attended Salpointe Catholic High School and was a ninth-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2024.
  • Outfielder Brendan Summerhill (Scorpions) – He was the 42nd overall pick in the 2025 draft after hitting .343 as a junior for the Arizona Wildcats in 2025.
  • Infielder Mason White (Solar Sox) – The Salpointe Catholic graduate played three years at Arizona and ranks second in the Wildcats’ record book with 49 career home runs. He was a fourth-round pick of the Boston Red Sox in 2025.

Kino was scheduled to host an AFL tripleheader last October, but the event was canceled because of weather concerns related to Hurricane Priscilla.

Kino Sports Complex  and new partner MQ360 Sports & Entertainment, a division of Mosaic Quarter, teamed up with the AFL this year to add Tucson to the league’s 2026 schedule.

“We’re especially thrilled to bring the Arizona Fall League to Kino in 2026,” said Kino Sports Complex Director Sarah Hanna. “Fans will get to see some of baseball’s top young talent right here in Tucson, including prospects from Major League organizations they follow throughout the season.”

Fans can check the AFL website to see which organizations will have prospects playing in Tucson. They include the Diamondbacks, Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox and more.

Arizona baseball head coach Chip Hale will throw out the first pitch before Game 2.

“The Arizona Fall League is excited to be back in Tucson this year to showcase the baseball-rich environment,” said Chuck Fox, director of the Arizona Fall League. “With the University of Arizona across town and multiple alumni building toward the next steps of their careers, we can’t wait to showcase some of baseball’s top prospects to fans.”

Last year’s AFL participants included Detroit Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle, who emerged as the leading candidate for the 2026 American League Rookie of the Year award. Notable alumni include Ronald Acuña Jr., Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge and Mike Trout.

The AFL season began Oct. 3 in the Phoenix area.




C&W | PICOR Represents Largest Industrial Sale on Record in Tucson at $165.75 Million

Largest Industrial SaleEquus Capital Partners sells 1.25 million square foot Shallow Bay Industrial Portfolio to Catalyst Real Estate and Everview Partners

TUCSON, Ariz. (Oct. 8, 2026) — Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR, Southern Arizona’s leading commercial real estate firm, is pleased to announce the sale of a 14-property, 1.25 million square foot industrial portfolio in Tucson for $165,750,000, or approximately $133 per square foot, the largest industrial sale on record in Tucson. The seller was Equus Capital Partners, through Pegasus Tucson Owner LLC. The buyers are Catalyst Real Estate and New York-based Everview Partners.

The sale closed on September 28, 2026. It is the largest commercial real estate sale by square footage in the Tucson MSA since 2007 and the largest industrial sale by price on record in the market.

Paul Hooker, SIOR, CCIM, Principal at C&W | PICOR, in conjunction with Cushman & Wakefield’s National Industrial Advisory Group (Will Strong, Michael Matchett, Madeline Warren, Molly Miller, and Jack Stamets), represented both the buyer and seller.

Known as the Tucson Shallow Bay Industrial Portfolio, the sale includes 85 buildings spread across established business parks. Shallow bay buildings are designed for smaller businesses and typically hold several tenants under one roof. The mix of warehouse, office, and flex space in these parks fits a wide range of operations, and at the time of sale the portfolio was 90% leased to 452 tenants, so no single occupant carries it. The parks sit along Tucson’s established industrial corridors, from Forbes Boulevard and Prince Road to Speedway Boulevard and East 29th Street.

The portfolio includes the following properties, with recorded sale prices:

Equus bought the portfolio in October 2021 from Reliance Management (Daryl Burton as Principal) as part of a larger $1.15 billion purchase of industrial properties across Tucson and Phoenix. The 14 Tucson parks traded for about $150 million at that time, according to Real Estate Daily News, which puts this sale roughly $15.75 million, or 10.5%, higher. That figure compares purchase prices only. It does not factor in improvements, income, or costs during Equus’ ownership.

C&W | PICOR has been involved with the portfolio through Equus for the past five years, but its history with the properties goes back more than two decades. It started when Robert C. Glaser, SIOR, CCIM, Principal and Industrial Specialist at C&W | PICOR, became a broker for Daryl Burton, who acquired and repositioned each individual asset throughout this time period.
