ARCO partners with The Meritex Company on two-building industrial development in Phoenix, Arizona. ARCO is partnering with The Meritex Company on a new speculative industrial development along the I-17 corridor in Phoenix, Arizona. The project will transform an underutilized infill site into approximately 130,000 square feet of modern Class A industrial space designed to accommodate a range of future users. Located on a 7.63-acre site, the development will begin with demolition of the existing office building and associated infrastructure before construction of two new industrial warehouse buildings. Each facility will feature a 28-foot clear height, reinforced concrete slabs, and 3,000 amps of electrical service to support the needs of modern warehouse, distribution, and light industrial users. The two buildings are being designed with flexibility for multiple tenant configurations. Each will include 12 dock doors, four drive-in doors, and four modern entrance features, providing adaptable access and circulation based on future tenant requirements. Individual tenant positions will have the capability to receive between 400 and 800 amps of electrical service. Both buildings will also incorporate ESFR fire protection systems and modern building infrastructure designed to support long-term operational performance.
