TEMPE, AZ – Full-service commercial real estate firm Lincoln Property Company (Lincoln) announced it has acquired an infill office project in the heart of Tempe, Arizona, and will redevelop the site into Sky Harbor Logistics, a Class A industrial campus situated minutes from Interstate 10 and Sky Harbor International Airport.

Lincoln acquired the property, located on 16.25 acres at 1515 W. 14^th St., for $18.3 million. Originally built in 1977 as industrial space and renovated in 2016 into office product, the site is currently home to a 218,268-square-foot, single-story office building and 1,044-space parking garage. The 1515 building is partially leased to CarMax under a near-term lease expiration.

Lincoln will demolish the existing buildings at the site to prepare the land for Sky Harbor Logistics, a 254,000-square-foot industrial campus featuring two identical, 127,000-square-foot Class A buildings with a shared truck court.

“Phoenix is known for its ability to successfully adapt, often in tandem with the nation’s top growth rates,” said Lincoln Senior Executive Vice President David Krumwiede. “Sky Harbor Logistics is a prime example of that adaptability, transforming an underutilized office asset into brand new infill logistics space that does not exist in this area.

"We are proud of the broad Lincoln expertise that we’ll bring to this project and very excited to usher in the next exceptional chapter for this site.”

Features of Sky Harbor Logistics will include 32’ clear height, 46 dock-high and 28 drive-in doors, 3,600 amps of power per building, ESFR sprinklers, and clerestory windows around the perimeter of each building for enhanced aesthetics and to maximize natural interior lighting.

Designed for speed-to-market and with flexibility for single- or multi-tenant use, both buildings at Sky Harbor Logistics will offer multiple architectural entrances and two spec suites per building. Both buildings will also be delivered with LED lighting and HVAC installed. The project will be served by 535 parking spaces.

Redevelopment activity at Sky Harbor Logistics is expected to begin second quarter 2025.
