“Activity over 50,000 square feet has increased considerably in the past year, especially in the southeast Valley markets,” Jackie Orcutt, director with Cushman and Wakefield, tells Globe St. “Chandler alone has announced more than 4,000 jobs this year.”

Hiring sprees from companies in Chandler such as Nationstar Mortgage, which brought on 1,200 employees during the first half of 2013, and GM, which hired 1,000 employees, has spurred demand for space. Both companies leased 170,000 square feet during the first six months of 2013.
