ViaWest Group has entered into a 77-year ground lease with the Kyrene School District on 28.6 acres in Chandler on which it will develop Converge Logistics Center. The project will consist of three general industrial buildings totaling approximately 512,710 square feet.

Designed to be multi-tenanted, the buildings have divisibility to 52,000, 23,500 and 39,800 square feet with 28- to 32-foot clear heights and a combination of dock-high and grade-level doors. Construction is slated to begin in third quarter 2021 with estimated delivery in second quarter 2022.

“Delivering newly constructed interstate-fronting class-A industrial product to the I-10 corridor is something ViaWest is very excited about. Infill development sites are quite scarce in Phoenix and bringing distribution and logistics to a highly desirable location will benefit the surrounding community,” said ViaWest founding partner Steven Schwarz.

Mike Haenel, Andy Markham and Phil Haenel with Cushman & Wakefield will be handling the marketing and leasing of the project. The development team includes Butler Design Group, Willmeng Construction and Kimley-Horn.
