KDC, Weitz JV Plans 400K-SF Tempe Waterfront

Dallas-based KDC formed a JV with Des Moines, IA-based The Weitz Company to develop Tempe Waterfront in Tempe, AZ. The project is envisioned for up to 400,000 square feet of office space on the waterfront.

KDC’s Peter Yates says, “KDC believes now is the perfect time to bring this prime office space to the Tempe market, which is surrounded by the lively college campus at Arizona State University and the Novus Innovation Corridor.”

The site at E. Rio Salado Parkway and Vista Del Lago Drive, sits next to the Arizona State University campus, and just east of the new State Farm Campus. The location offers immediate amenities along the waterfront and vibrant Mill Avenue, but provides connections to outlets that will help avoid traffic congestion.

KDC has completed corporate build-to-suit developments for major companies such as State Farm and Toyota.
