“Between 2021 and 2022, metro Phoenix industrial demand grew by more than 56 percent,” said John Lydon.

 “That growth was spurred in part by logistics and parcel delivery – a sector that tenants like Axle on Demand and projects like Echo Park 303 make happen. Each of these companies reflect the ongoing potential of our market.”

 

The transaction represents Axle on Demand’s sixth metro Phoenix location and fills more than half of Echo Park 303’s Building A almost four months before the anticipated completion of the Class A industrial project.

 

Echo Park 303 is Echo Real Estate Capital’s first metro Phoenix industrial development. The 676,336-square-foot project totals two buildings on approximately 40 acres at 9501 and 9701 N. 151^st Avenue. It is located within Woolf Logistics Center, minutes from the Loop 303 and Northern Parkway.

“We are equally pleased to welcome Axle on Demand, who like us is looking to grow in this strategic industrial hub.

 

"Signing this pre-lease months before project completion has us optimistic for the future of Echo Park 303 and the tenant synergy we will create here. We are grateful to JLL and the entire project team for this ongoing success.”
