Tony Lydon, senior vice president with Grubb & Ellis/BRE Commercial LLC in Phoenix, tells GlobeSt.com that the 12-acre property at 3181 N. Lear Ave. sat on the market about 12 months before going under contract to the City of Casa Grande. The building, with a 10,000-sf office finish-out, received five offers, but the city was the highest offer and the one that was sure to close, he says. Lexington Machining turned out the lights more than a year ago when it consolidated operations to the East Coast.

The fully air-conditioned structure has heavy electrical capacity and high-bay lighting. The city plans to move public works' employees and their equipment into the structure later this month.
