PHOENIX-A Tempe developer has purchased about 10 acres for $3.2 million to construct the build-to-suit for a local franchisee of the Monroe, MI-based La-Z-Boy furniture company. The Cotton Center project will be on line in early 2005.

Chamberlain Development LLC, a purchasing entity representing SunState Builders of Tempe, purchased the site from park owner JDMD-Apollo Venture LLC in Phoenix. Within two months, SunState will start work on an estimated $6-million, 100,000-sf facility just east of the northeast corner of 40th Street and Roeser Road and then lease it to the La-Z-Boy franchisee for 10 years, Steve Mardian, a senior vice president with Grubb & Ellis/BRE Commercial, tells GlobeSt.com.

“They paid a pretty good price and put a nice name company in the park and that will hopefully help attract other buyers down the road,” Mardian says. The parcel was on the market several years. Escrow lasted about 90 days.
