PHOENIX, AZ – JLL has completed a 40,415-square-foot lease for PipShip within ViaWest Group’s recently acquired six-building industrial portfolio in Gilbert, Arizona. With the addition of PipShip, the portfolio now sits at more than 98% occupied.
PipShip will relocate its distribution and e-commerce
operations from Tempe, Arizona, to 2075 W. Obispo Ave. in Gilbert, representing

Its new location is part of the 180,087-square-foot, two-building El Dorado Tech Center, purchased by ViaWest in February as part of a $71.1 million, 428,427-square-foot infill portfolio acquisition from Clarion Partners.
“We are thrilled to welcome PipShip to our newly acquired
Gilbert portfolio," said Alex Hondros, Senior VP Acquisitions and
Asset Management, ViaWest Group.
"This lease not only brings our
occupancy rates to an impressive 98% but also signifies the growing appeal and
strategic value of the metro Phoenix market.

Steve Larsen, Executive Managing Director, and Jason Moore, Executive Vice President, from the Phoenix office of JLL, represented ViaWest in its lease negotiations and serve as the exclusive leasing brokers for its Gilbert portfolio.

ViaWest has been
one of the more active investors in Phoenix, having acquired 1.1 million square
