Phoenix’s Southeast Valley Center for Logistics Builds

While Phoenix has a growing industrial construction pipeline, the market’s Southeast Valley is becoming the hub for logistics center development. The Goodyear, Litchfield Park, West Glendale and Southwest Phoenix submarkets in particular have captured the majority of construction activity for logistics facilities.

“The Southeast Valley, specifically in the Goodyear, Litchfield Park, West Glendale and Southwest Phoenix, has become an epicenter of the logistics wars with Amazon rolling out last mile delivery operations in Goodyear, to UPS’s 1,500-job sorting facility at PV 303 to the newest entrant Microsoft,” Thomas Brophy, marketing director of Colliers International in Arizona, tells GlobeSt.com. “Microsoft, along with the Bill Gates-affiliated entity Belmont Partners, has purchased nearly 26,000 acres in the Southeast Valley.”
