TUALATIN, OR-Wells Development has tied up six acres here for a would-be 100,000-sf industrial development. The land is located near Interstate 5 at 124th and Tualatin-Sherwood Road.Managing director Mike Wells tells GlobeSt.com that the project will include either one or two buildings depending on which of "several prospects" pan out. In the end, the space could be warehouse or manufacturing space and could end up being one or more buildings leased to multiple users or a single build-to-suit for lease or for sale.The best-case scenario is that a tenant is lined up soon so the project could break ground this fall and be ready for occupancy next summer. Wells says the property has excellent visibility and access and sits near the Novellus campus.Grubb & Ellis EVP and managing director Brad Fletcher is representing Wells in the land acquisition and heading up the property marketing team.
