The facility has been developed with the modern industrial tenant in mind, with clear heights ranging from 28′ to 36′, substantial truck and vehicle parking, grade and dock-high loading doors, and practical divisibility with a choice of bay sizes. Construction is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2022. The site is one minute from Arizona Route 202, the main business artery linking Phoenix to the Southeast Valley, and three minutes from the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. The HUB @ 202 is one of the few continuous properties of size in the heart of Phoenix’s Southeast Valley submarket. Over the next five years, the Southeast Valley is expected to top the country in an industrial rent increase, with an anticipated 32 percent.
