PHOENIX-M&I Bank has elected to keep its regional headquarters in One East Camelback. The bank inked an 11-year lease for 45,609 sf of class A-minus space. The new lease includes an 8,887-sf expansion and building signage on three sides of the 200,000-sf, mid-rise building.”They wanted the building signage, and I don’t think they would have stayed if we hadn’t given it to them,” Kelly McKone of Cushman & Wakefield of Arizona Inc. tells GlobeSt.com. “I think the signage really gives the building a presence in the market.” He and Tim Whittemore represented the building owner, a partnership based in the Middle East. M&I Bank were represented by Tom Adelson of CB Richard Ellis Inc. M&I Bank has been a tenant at One East Camelback Rd. since 1985. Currently, the bank occupies roughly 36,722 sf on the first and second floors including 6,000 sf of bank branch space in the lobby. With the new pact, the bank will relocate and will occupy the entire 10th and 11th floors, McKone says. Tenant improvements, which are being managed by Susan LaGanke of Cushman & Wakefield, are expected to be completed by Aug. 1. With M&I Bank’s expansion, the 1970s-era One East Camelback is 50% occupied. The quoted lease rate for the building is $18.50/sf. According to McKone, M&I Bank explored the market and spent nearly eight months negotiating the new lease. “The ownership is ecstatic they’re staying,” he says.
