TOLLESON, AZ-A Dallas-based developer has purchased a parcel in the Phoenix suburb of Tolleson where the company plans to build a 285,000-sf manufacturing plant to make plastic Coca-Cola bottles.

Centex Investment Co. LLC has spent $1.2 million for 20 acres near the northeast corner of 99th Avenue and Buckeye Road. The development company plans to start construction immediately on a build-to-suit for Western Container, one of the largest producers of plastic bottles in the country. The plant’s estimated development cost exceeds $15 million.

The facility will manufacture recyclable plastic bottles for Coca-Cola products. Western Container has signed a 10-year lease agreement and plans to occupy the building in June 2002. The company will rev up production with a crew of 110 and eventually have a 150-member workforce. “Significant capital investment like this is valuable not only to Tolleson, but to the region,” says Rick Weddle, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
