GlobeSt.com UPDATE: Work Starting on Pima Center

PHOENIX-Ground breaks tomorrow on $8 million to $10 million of infrastructure work for the estimated $75-million first phase, a mix of 250,000 sf of office space and 350,000 sf of industrial product on land leased for 65 years from the Pima Tribe.

PHOENIX-Wednesday morning’s ceremonial groundbreaking finally commences bricks-and-mortar work on the 209-acre Pima Center, with some 250,000 sf of office product and 350,000 sf of industrial space slated to rise later this year. Representing the largest third-party lease on Native American land in US history, the mixed-use park is receiving plenty of interest from tenants and owner/users alike.

“We’ve got a lot of interest from people looking for a campus-type site,” Curtis Brown, a partner with Ross Brown Partners in Phoenix, tells GlobeSt.com. Tomorrow’s groundbreaking revs up $8 million to $10 million of infrastructure work for the estimated $75-million first phase of development.

Brown says park planners have backed off from an earlier plan to include a retail component because they could not reach an agreement with one of the landowners for a 23-acre carve-out. The acreage could still come into the fold down the road, but will not be included in the initial development, he adds.
