On behalf of Metro Commercial Properties, leading national design-build contractor Graycor Construction Company has delivered the final industrial buildings at Metro East Valley Commerce Center in Mesa, Arizona. Designated as Phases III and IV, the delivery totals five buildings and marks the completion of the 11-building, 1.1 million-square-foot Class A industrial project – one of the largest master planned commerce parks in Phoenix’s Southeast Valley.
Phases III and IV were conceived as speculative developments but obtained leasing commitments for approximately 80 percent of the leasable space prior to completion of shell construction. All but one approximate 13,500-square-foot space in the project has now been leased.
“We’re proud to deliver these final buildings at a time of exponential demand for East Valley industrial space,” said Metro Commercial Properties Principal Ryan Foley. “Phases three and four were designed to be extremely flexible, which aligns closely with the demand we experienced in our first two phases at East Valley Commerce Center and is reflected in the quick and successful lease-up of this project.”
The newly completed Phases III and IV feature five buildings ranging from 58,399 square feet to 112,097 square feet with up to 32’ clear height, dock high and grade level loading, and interior floorplans accommodating office, warehouse, manufacturing and light industrial uses. East Valley Commerce Center Phases I and II were completed by Graycor in 2016 and 2019 respectively, and total six buildings and 712,049 square feet.
