AVONDALE, AZ-Irgens Development Partners LLC will develop up to 152,460 sf of flex and industrial product on a just-bought 10 acres. The Milwaukee-based developer has spent $3.4 million for the development site.

Steve McKendry, executive vice president and principal for Phoenix-based DAUM Commercial, says Irgens Development Partners ended up with the land near Eliseo Felix Jr. Way and East Van Buren Street because it offered the highest price and the ability to close. "Irgens is becoming a pretty well-known developer in the Phoenix area and we were able to show the sellers they were a proven entity," he adds.

McKendry partnered with DAUM executive vice president and principal Kirk Jenkins to represent the Phoenix seller, M and C Paint LLC. Rick Lee and Stein Koss, principals with Lee & Associates in Phoenix, represented Irgens Development. Details about the construction schedule aren't available.
