Phoenix’s Midtown office market remains a prime location for corporate tenants to grow and thrive at affordable rents, according to the Phoenix office of JLL and a recent 19,380-square-foot lease renewal and expansion completed at Central Arts Plaza on behalf of tax accountant and CPA firm Eide Bailly, LLP. Eide Bailly has occupied a full floor at the BMO Tower at Central Arts Plaza for more than a decade. With this renewal, they recommit to their Midtown presence, with plans to renovate their office space to accommodate growth and better serve clients across the region. The Phoenix office is one of 29 Eide Bailly locations serving more than 54,000 clients across the U.S. JLL Managing Director John Pierson and Associate Trevor Pratt represented Eide Bailly in the lease transaction. The building owner, McCarthy Cook & Co., represented itself in the negotiations.
“Eide Bailly originally chose this building for its proximity to downtown Phoenix, its adjacency to the metro freeway system, its rental economics and its professional image. After 10 years, the project still delivers these same advantages, along with a growing list of cultural and corporate amenities in Midtown,” said Pierson. “It is a great place for Eide Bailly to stay, and continue to grow, as it serves its clients.”
According to JLL’s 2016 Skyline report, Midtown Phoenix offers an attractive central location option for corporate tenants, and will remain so as rents in downtown Phoenix continue to rise – now sitting at an average $23.75 per-square-foot for Skyline space and an average $28.29 per-square-foot for trophy Skyline space.
