Fender Settles into 55,000-SF Chaparral Office

SCOTTSDALE, AZ-Fender Musical Instruments Corp., one of the world’s most well-known guitar makers, has relocated its corporate headquarters into 55,000 sf of a newly built office project, totaling 69,500 sf, on an Indian reservation near Scottsdale.

The firm’s headquarters is located in phase III of the Chaparral Business Center, which is located north of Chaparral Road between the Pima Freeway section of Loop 101 and Pima Road, directly east of Scottsdale. Fender is relocating from 7975 N. Hayden Rd., which is about three miles north of the Chaparral center.

The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community owns the office park and has been using some of its money from a casino to develop other commercial projects on its land. Kitchell Corp. is the park’s development manager and design-builder.
