 PHOENIX, AZ – Logistics real estate leader Prologis, Inc. has selected Graycor Construction Company as the general contractor for its new Prologis I-17 Logistics Center – Phase I, a Class A flex industrial development that sits on 25 acres of prime infill space within Phoenix’s 7^th Street corridor.

When complete, Phase I will total four buildings and 558,712 square feet, divisible from 25,000 to 211,000 square feet. The project is located at 2111 - 2145 S. 7^th St. in Phoenix, at the highly visible southeast corner of 7^th Street and Interstate 17, and with 1,100 feet of I-17 frontage.

The site was previously occupied by Ameron, a major concrete cylinder pipe manufacturer.

“Prologis 1-17 Logistics Center will replace 20 outmoded buildings, which were demolished over the last three months, with modern Class A construction and an extremely rare industrial infill site that sits in the heart of the 7^th Street corridor,” said Graycor Construction Company Project Executive Rusty Martin.

“It is a wonderfully unique project, and we appreciate the trust that Prologis has placed in Graycor to make the development a reality.”

“This development will offer state-of-the-art features to meet the needs of today’s logistics users – e-commerce, freight forwarding and Last Touch^TM distributors – who need and value proximity to Phoenix’s prime central submarket,” said Prologis Investment Officer and Managing Director Fritz Wyler. 

“Prologis is pleased to work with the Graycor team again, having successfully completed a 475,000 square foot project with them that was leased to Amazon last year.”

Graycor will begin construction at Prologis 1-17 Logistics Center this month, with completion slated for first quarter 2019. When finished, Phase I will total four buildings ranging in size from 82,284 to 211,208 square feet.

Each will offer 32-foot clear height, 52- x 50-foot column spacing, 135- to 210-foot truck courts and the flexibility to accommodate multiple mid-size users. 

The property is three minutes from downtown Phoenix and seven minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport.

As general contractor, Graycor represents 97 years of building experience and more than 1,500 construction experts across the U.S.

 Locally, the Graycor legacy extends over more than three decades, with a portfolio that includes landmark industrial projects such as Prologis Park Riverside, Liberty Logistics Center II, Buckeye Logistics Center, FedEx Chandler Sorting and Distribution Center, and Home Depot Distribution Center.

Rendering of planned Ameswell Mountain View mixed-use development, Mountain View, CA

 SAN FRANCISCO, CA –– HFF announces the $250 million capitalization for the development of Ameswell Mountain View, a fully entitled, mixed-use project comprising a 255-room upscale, independent hotel and a 216,700-square-foot Class A, LEED-Platinum office building in Mountain View, California.

Bruce Ganong

The HFF team worked on behalf of the developer, Broadreach Capital Partners, LLC, to arrange a joint venture equity partnership with Rockwood Capital, LLC.  Additionally, the HFF team worked on behalf of the parties to secure the $140 million construction financing with Wells Fargo Bank.

Ameswell is ideally positioned directly off Highway 101 and Moffett Boulevard in Mountain View and has access to Highways 85 and 237 and Interstate 280, which provide direct access to the entire Bay Area. 

The development is at the epicenter of Silicon Valley, surrounded by the largest technology companies in the world, venture capital and a highly educated workforce. 

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Intuit are within a 2.5-mile radius of the project, and the Mountain View Baby Bullet Caltrain station is less than one mile from the property.

Michael Leggett

 The Ameswell Hotel will be one of Silicon Valley’s most prominently located, newly constructed independent lodging properties with modern luxury amenities and experiences. 

The hotel will feature creative, local design with a strong emphasis on art and technology; 6,258 square feet of premier meeting and event space; 

imaginative food and beverage offerings, which include a destination bar and restaurant and curated grab-and-go market; spacious guestrooms; abundant outdoor gathering spaces with a swimming pool, fire pits, bocce ball court and a large lawn; and sustainable operating practices. 

Ben Bullock

The steel-frame, five-story LEED-Platinum creative office building will have best-in-class construction featuring floor-to-ceiling glass lines that provide abundant natural light, 14-foot ceilings and 47,000-square-foot floorplates.  

Amenities include a 2.5-acre park, terraces and break-out areas to merge workspace and nature, dedicated bike and pedestrian trails and electric vehicle charging stations.  A six-tier parking structure will support the development.

The HFF equity and debt placement team consisted of senior managing directors Bruce Ganong and Michael Leggett, co-head of HFF’s West Coast team; senior director Ben Bullock; director Thomas Foley and analysts Austin White and Bercut Smith.

Thomas Foley

“Ameswell is one of the last fully entitled mixed-use development sites in Mountain View with prominent visibility from Highways 101 and 85,” Bullock said. 

 “With a submarket vacancy rate of less than five percent for Class A office in Mountain View, Ameswell is poised to capitalize on the abundant tenant demand for new product.”
