It is located on the junction of Scottsdale Road and Thunderbird Boulevard within the Scottsdale Airpark and near Scottsdale Airport.
In light of the latest real estate trends provided by Grant Kingdon, the principal of Creation’s Western Ramana area, the market for industrial investment in Scottsdale is currently supply-scarce with high rental rates and lower vacancy and the best location for developers to invest.
